wherever you place sharp blades and discs.

To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, push- er 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 clean- ing 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 centre and move it rapidly up and down on the centre 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 example, make the bread first; then you don’t need to wash the bowl before making the salad. In many cases, wiping the bowl with a paper towel between recipes 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 like Fantastick or K2-R 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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Like all powerful electrical appliances, a Food Processor should be han- dled with care. Follow these guidelines to protect you and your family from misuse that could cause injury.

Handle and store metal blades and discs carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp.

Always place discs on flat stable surface before con- necting detachable stem.

Never put blades or discs on the motor shaft until the work bowl is locked in place.

Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on motor shaft as far as it will go.

Always insert chopping blade and dough blade in the work bowl before putting ingredients in bowl.

When slicing or shredding food, always use the pusher. Never put your fingers or spatula into feed tube.

Always wait for the blade or disc to stop spinning before you remove the pusher assembly or cover from the work bowl.

Always unplug the unit before removing food, cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts.

Always remove work bowl from base of machine before you remove chopping blade or dough blade.

Be careful to prevent the chopping blade from falling out of the work bowl when emptying the bowl. Remove it before tilting bowl, or hold it in place with your finger, a spatula or a spoon.
