CLEANING AND STORING
YOUR SMARTPOWER DUET
®
FOOD PROCESSOR
ATTACHMENT
Store the chopping blade and slicing/
shredding disc as you would sharp
knives – out of the reach of children.
The work bowl, cover, pusher,
chopping blade, and slicing/shredding
disc are top shelf dishwasher safe.
When placing parts in your
dishwasher, insert the work bowl
upside down. Remember where you
place the sharp blade and disc, and be
certain to unload the dishwasher
carefully.
The gearbox collar is not immersible.
To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth.
If you wash the 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 rapidly up and
down on the center shaft of the bowl.
Use of a spray hose is also effective. If
necessary, use a brush.
The work bowl should not be placed in
a microwave oven.
