1.Preparation
a.Hang the drainpipe on the back of the unit via the clip.
b.Make sure that the electrical outlet you are using is properly grounded.
c.Make sure that the timer is set to 0 minutes before plugging the unit in.
2.Place Produce in Unit
Open the lid and place the vegetables, fruit, or other utensils into the washing basket; then close the lid (make sure that the lid is closed before turning on the power). Some larger vegetables may need to be cut into more manageable pieces before they are placed in the unit.
Reference weight about washing
When using the CuisineClean do not let the weight exceed 1 lb for leafy green vegetables (i.e. spinach, lettuce) or 3 lbs for roots and tubers (such as potatoes and carrots).
3. Add Water
Fill the CuisineClean with water up to the “Max Water Level” shown on the basket. DO NOT

6. Drain
After washing, place the loose end of the drainpipe into a sink or other appropriate receptacle and allow the water to drain. While water is draining, run the unit for an additional 2 minutes to remove any excess water from the contents. This will help extend the storage life of the produce.
