5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• When not in use, leave your food processor unplugged.
• Keep the blades and discs out of the reach of children.
• All parts except the housing base are dishwasher safe. We recommend washing them in the
dishwasher on the top rack. Due to intense water heat, washing the work bowl(s), cover and
accessories on the bottom rack may cause damage over time. Insert the work bowl(s) and pusher
accessory upside down for drainage.
Take extra care when loading and unloading blades and discs in the dishwasher.
N.B. Due to food staining, it is normal for the rubber seal to become discoloured over time. We
recommend to remove, clean and replace the rubber seal on the small work bowl after each use.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowls, work bowl cover, pusher accessory and blade or disc
immediately after use so food won't dry on them. If food lodges in the pusher accessory, remove it by
running water through it, or use a bottle brush.
• If you wash the blade and discs by hand, do so carefully. When handling, use the plastic stems. Avoid
leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. To clean the metal blade, fi ll the
work bowl with soapy water, hold the blade by its plastic stem and move it rapidly up and down on
the centre spindle of the bowl.
• The work bowls are made of SAN plastic. They should not be placed in a microwave oven.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the housing base, simply wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Apply any cleaning agent to the cloth, not the base.
• 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
non-abrasive cleaning product.
IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or disc on the motor spindle. No blade or disc should be placed
on the spindle except when the processor is about to be used.
MAINTENANCE: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorised service representative.
