CLEANING AND
STORAGE
Keep your food processor
ready to use on a kitchen
counter. When not in use,
leave it unplugged.
Store the blades and discs
as you would sharp knives,
out of the reach of children.
The disc and blade holders
are optional accessories
which offer safe and
convenient storage.
All parts except the housing
base are dishwasher safe,
and we recommend wash-
ing them in the dishwasher
on the top rack only.
Due to intense water heat,
washing the work bowl and
work bowl cover on the
bottom rack of your dish-
washer may cause damage
over time. Insert the work
bowl upside down.
Remember to unload the
dishwasher carefully wher-
ever you place sharp
blades and discs.
To simplify cleaning, rinse
the work bowl, cover,
pusher assembly and blade
or disc immediately after
use, so food won’t dry on
them. Openings at the
bottom of the large pusher
provide drainage and make
cleaning easy. If food
lodges in the pusher,
remove it by running
water through it, or use
a bottle brush.
If you wash blades and discs
by hand, do it carefully.
Avoid leaving them in soapy
water where they may disap-
pear from sight. To clean the
metal blade, fill the work
bowl with soapy water, hold
the blade by its plastic center
and move it rapidly up and
down on the center shaft of
the bowl. Use of a spray
attachment is also effective.
If necessary, use a brush.
The work bowl is made of
Lexan
®
(plastic), which is
shatter resistant and heat
resistant. It should not be
placed in a microwave
oven, as the aperture at
the front of the pusher
houses the metal rod that
activates the motor.
TIP:
When preparing a meal,
make the dishes with
the least amount of wet
ingredients first. For
example, make the bread
first; then you don’t need
to wash the bowl before
making the salad. In many
cases, wiping the bowl with
a paper towel between
recipes is sufficient.
Chopping certain foods
may scratch or cloud the
work bowl. These foods
include ice, whole spices,
coffee beans and oils like
wintergreen. If you like to
prepare your own spice
blends, you may want to
keep a second bowl just
for that purpose.
The housing base is made
of a tough plastic with high
impact resistance. Its
smooth surface will look
new for years. Keep a
sponge handy as you
work, and wipe spills from
the base.
Four rubber feet on the
underside keep the base
from moving on most work
surfaces when the machine
is processing heavy loads.
If the feet leave spots on
the counter, spray them
with a spot remover and
wipe with a damp sponge.
If any trace of the spot
remains, repeat the proce-
dure and wipe the area
with a damp sponge and
nonabrasive cleaning pow-
der. Dry completely.
To clean the inside of the
detachable stem, slide the
stem release button on the
side up as far as it will go
and hold it there as you run
water through the stem.
IMPORTANT:
Never store any blade or
disc on the motor shaft. No
blade or disc should be
placed on the shaft except
when the processor is
about to be used.
