CLEANING AND STORAGE
Keep your food processor ready to use on a kitchen counter. When not in use, leave it unplugged.
The exterior of the drums are sharp. Store the drums, as you would sharp knives, out of the reach of children. All parts except the housing base are
Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully where the sharp drums are located.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the pusher, drums, and food chamber immediately after use, so food won’t dry on them.
If you wash drums by hand, do it carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. Use of a spray attachment is also effective. If necessary, use a brush. The housing base 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.
Two 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 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. Dry completely.
FOR YOUR SAFETY

Handle and store metal drums carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp. When slicing, shredding, or grating food, always use the pusher. Never put your fingers or a spatula into feed tube.
