CLEANING
The cutting plates are sharp. Use care when handling to avoid injury.
Unplug the electrical cord.
Do not clean stainless steel with cleansers containing bleach like automatic dishwashing detergent.
Bleach can corrode stainless steel. Do not clean the aluminum parts with high-alkaline detergents like
automatic dishwashing detergent or with hot water: Black aluminum oxide can form.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE
1. Stop the power unit (mixer, chopper, food cutter or power drive).
2. Release the latch and open the feed hopper.
3. Lift the plunger (Fig. 1) and withdraw the rotating unit.
4. The shredder and grater plates are easily removed from the plate holder by rotating plate counter-
clockwise to release the keyslot from the shouldered studs.
5. All parts (case, hopper and rotating unit) may be immersed in warm soapy water for cleaning. Rinse
in hot clear water and dry immediately. It is important that juices be cleaned from slicer before they
can dry. When using the adjustable slicer unit, make sure it is cleaned frequently to assure easy
thickness adjustment. Use a drop of tasteless oil on the adjustment threads after cleaning. Occasionally
disassemble the slicer unit for a thorough cleaning. To do this it is necessary to unscrew the knurled
thrust collar (Fig. 2), which has left-hand threads. The spring (Fig. 2) is then free for removal. Withdraw
the knife and shaft assembly (Fig. 2). Unscrew the adjusting nut (Fig. 2) from the plate.
After cleaning to prevent damage thrust bearing (Fig. 2) must be tightened until seated against
shoulder on shaft (Fig. 2). Failure to properly reassemble can result in damage to knives, shaft and slicer
plate.
