CLEANING
WARNING: TURN THE MACHINE OFF AND UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD BEFORE CLEANING.
Clean the machine immediately after each use. Dismantle all removable parts from the machine and wash them in warm water and detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
NOTE: Allowing food juices to dry on the machine may cause discoloration. NEVER clean feed hopper, cutting tools or other aluminum parts in highly alkaline dishwashing solutions or in excessively hot water as this can cause formation of aluminum oxide (black). DO NOT USE wool or sharp objects for cleaning machine surfaces if they become discolored; scratched surfaces become hard to keep clean.
