Care & Cleaning
NOTE: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the chopping blade or the
reversible disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined
by attempted sharpening.
Cleaning
1 Before cleaning, be sure the unit is switched o and the cord is unplugged.
2 Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
3 Wipe the base, control knob, and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the base in liquid.
4 All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher, top rack.
• If washing by hand, wash in hot sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If
necessary, use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the bowl and
food chute/cover, this type of brush will also help prevent cutting yourself
on the sharp chopping blade and slice/shred disc.
• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack
only — not in or near the utensil basket.
5 Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
6 Do not ll the bowl with boiling water or place any of the parts in boiling
water. Some foods, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the bowl. To remove
stains, make a paste of 2 tablespoons (30ml) baking soda and 1 tablespoon
(15ml) warm water. Apply the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse
with sudsy water and dry.
