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. Due to
intense water heat, washing
the work bowl, cover and
accessories on the bottom
rack may cause damage
over time. Insert the work
bowl upside down.
Remember to unload the
dishwasher carefully
wherever 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
disappear 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 exam-
ple, make the bread first –
then you don’t need to
wash the bowl before mak-
ing the salad. In many
cases, wiping the bowl
between recipes with a
paper towel 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 base housing 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 procedure and wipe the
area with a damp sponge
and nonabrasive cleaning
powder.
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.
