Care, Cleaning and Storage
Care, Cleaning and Storage continued
When you have finished processing ensure the Speed Selection Dial is turned to the Off ‘O’ position, the appliance is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged, then carefully remove the lid, processing blade, or disc holder and spindle, then the processing bowl.
Motor base
Wipe the motor base with a clean, damp cloth after each use. NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR
BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Processing bowl, lid, food pusher, measuring cup, disc holder, spindle and spatula
Wash in warm to hot water using a mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL, SCOURING PADS OR ABRASIVE KITCHEN CLEANERS AS THEY WILL SCRATCH THESE PARTS.
Do not place any part of the food processor in the dishwasher.
Processing blade and discs
Wash in warm to hot water using a mild detergent. Food can be dislodged from the inner shafts of the processing blade and disc holder spindle by inserting the end of the spatula handle or a bottle brush.
Ensure the fine end of the processing blade or disc holder spindle and the hole in the bowl lid bearing, located under the white button in the centre of the lid, are clean and free of food residue before attaching the lid for use or for storage.
Food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, onion, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour or stain on the processing bowl, lid, disc holder, spindle and food pusher. To remove odours or stains, soak these parts in 2 litres
of water mixed with 100ml of lemon juice or white vinegar for 30 minutes. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Storage
Store your food processor on the kitchen bench or in an accessible cupboard. Insert the discs and disc holder into the storage container. Insert processing blade into the protective storage cover then onto the drive shaft in the bowl. Place the disc holder spindle into the bowl, insert the storage container onto the processing blade spindle and place the lid on top. DO NOT store with the lid locked onto the bowl as unnecessary strain will be placed on the operating switch in the motor base. Insert the food pusher and measuring cup into position in the food chute.
THE PROCESSING BLADE AND THE DISCS ARE EXTREMELY SHARP!! USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING AND STORING THESE PARTS.
