CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE
Care and cleaning
When finished processing, switch the food processor off at the power outlet and unplug the power cord.
Motor base
Wipe the motor base with a clean, damp cloth after each use. Dry thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth.
Processing bowl, lid and food pusher
Hand wash in hot, soapy water using a mild detergent. Do not use a scourer or abrasive cleaners as they will scratch the plastic surface. The plastic parts may occasionally be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf only). It is not recommended on a regular basis, as prolonged exposure to hot water temperatures and harsh detergents will damage and shorten the life of the plastic.
NOTE
Do not place food pusher in the dishwasher as the heat may deform it.
Processing QUAD‰ blade, dough blade and discs
Hand wash the bowl and lid. Use the cleaning brush accessory to scrub stubborn foods off the blades and discs. The handle end of the brush is designed for scraping. To avoid accidental cuts, do not leave quad blade or discs to soak in sudsy water. The quad blade, dough blade, discs and spindle can also be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf only).
NOTE
The quad blade cover can be assembled onto the quad blade while it is placed in the dishwasher for added safety.
Food stains and odours
Foods such as carrot may leave a stain on plastic parts whilst other foods such as garlic may leave a strong odour. To remove either, soak the parts for 5 minutes in 2 litres of water with ½ cup lemon juice added. Rinse and wash as normal.
Storage
•Ensure the food processor is switched off and unplugged at the power outlet.
•Ensure all parts of the food processor are clean and dry.
•Carefully grasp the quad blade using the spindle. The quad blade and mini processing blade, should be stored in the storage box when not in use. It is good practise to store the quad blade inside its cover and then inside the storage box. The mini processing bowl can be stored inside the main processing bowl when not in use.
•Place the lid on top of the processing bowl but DO NOT turn clockwise to the locked position.
•Place the food pusher, with the measuring cup inserted, into position in the feed chute.
•It is advisable not to store the food processor with the processing bowl or lid locked onto the processing bowl as unnecessary strain will be placed on the operating and safety switches on the processing bowl and the motor base.
•Place the discs in the storage container and store in a safe place out of the reach of children to avoid accidental cuts. It is not recommended to store the discs in a drawer with other utensils.
NOTE
The large chipper disc must be placed in the back slot in the storage container.
