and lower the chopping blade or slicing and shredding disk up and down on
the center shaft.
• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only – not in
or near utensil basket.
• Some staining of parts may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons
of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand
overnight. Rinse and dry.
