CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Make sure that the unit is unplugged from power source and control button is on “OFF” before inserting or removing any attachments and before cleaning.

•Never immerse the unit, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

•Clean the main unit with a damp cloth only.

•Only the stainless steel blades can be washed in the dishwasher.

•All other parts can be cleaned in warm sudsy water using regular dishwashing liquid.

•If food has spilled over on to the main unit, use the pointy end of the spatula to clean the cracks and crevices of the base under the food processor bowl. (Fig. 19)

•To clean the blender, fill the blender jar with warm, sudsy water, place the blender lid on the unit and run the blender at speed level "2" (high) for 30 seconds. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

Hints & Tips:

•The double chopping blade can be used for chopping meat, fish, vegetables, cheese, etc. setting the speed to maximum.

•For finer chopping, increase the length of time you process.

•For coarser chopping, use the pulse button for a few seconds and monitor food texture.

•Pre-cut larger pieces to make them fit into the feed tube. When chopping hard foods (e.g. meat, cheese) cut into 1 “/2.4 cm cubes.

•For shredding, place food horizontally into the feed tube, for slicing place the food vertically.

•When blending, pour the liquids in first and then add the solid food. Begin blending at the lower speed and increase when needed.

You can also store the blender with the unit as shown in fig. 24.

Re-settable Thermal Safety Device

Your Processing Center has been designed with a unique safety system which prevents damage to the unit’s motor and drive system, should you inadvertently overload your appliance. The safety system will automatically cut the electric power to the appliance when the device senses an overload or excessive temperature in the motor or drive system. Should this occur during use and the appliance stops functioning, following is the re-setting procedure:

1.Turn the “ON/OFF” speed control to the “OFF” position

2.Unplug the unit from the wall receptacle.

3.Remove and empty the processor bowl. Ensure that no food is jamming the cutting blades or attachments.

4.Allow the appliance to cool down for a minimum of 30 minutes.

5.Re-install the processor bowl and re-plug appliance in the wall outlet.

6.Proceed to use the appliance as before. Should the appliance still fail to operate, turn the “ON/OFF” speed control to the “OFF” position and unplug from the wall outlet. Allow the appliance to cool down for an additional 1 to 2 hours. After this time has passed, repeat the restart procedure, steps 5 and 6 above.
