®
CompleteChef™ Cooking
Food Processor ready to use on the kitchen
counter. When not in use, leave it unplugged.
Keep the blades and discs out of reach
of children.
All parts, except the housing base, are
dishwasher safe, and we recommend washing
them in the dishwasher on the top rack only.
Due to intense water heat, washing lids and
accessories on the bottom rack may cause
damage over time.
Insert the Food Processor Lid with the Feed
Tube facing up to ensure proper cleaning.
Insert the Work Bowl and Pusher upside
down for drainage. Remember to unload
the dishwasher carefully wherever you have
placed sharp blades and discs.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the Work Bowl, Lids,
Pusher and blade or disc immediately after use
so food won’t dry on them. Be sure to position
the Pusher upside down for drainage. If food
lodges in the Pusher, remove it by running
water through it, or use a bottle brush.
Seals in Food Processor and Cooking Lids are
removable and dishwasher safe. To reassemble
the Food Processor Lid after washing, find
three circles symbol ••• on one side of the
Food Processor Seal. Align the symbol with
the same symbol found inside the Food
Processor Lid. Press firmly to snap in place.
The Cooking Lid Seal is reversible and can be
reassembled by stretching it around the seal rim.
For cooked-on ingredients in the Work Bowl,
soak with hot, soapy water and then use a
stainless steel scrubby to remove all residue.
The Hub Assembly in the center of the Work
Bowl can be removed for cleaning. The Hub
Assembly consists of 3 parts: the Metal Hub
[A], Silicone Seal [B] and Locking Nut [C].
To disassemble the Hub, turn the Locking
Nut counterclockwise until the Metal Hub
is released.
The 3-part Hub Assembly must be hand-washed.
After washing, assemble the Hub by placing
the Silicone Seal on the Metal Hub. Place the
Metal Hub with Silicone Seal in the Work Bowl
and secure with Locking Nut by turning
Locking Nut clockwise.
If you wash the blades and discs by hand,
do it carefully. When handling, use the plastic
hubs. Avoid leaving them in soapy water
where they may disappear from sight.
To clean the blades, fill the Work Bowl with
soapy water, hold the blade by its plastic
center and move it rapidly up and down on
the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray
attachment is also effective. If necessary,
use a brush.
The housing base may be wiped clean with
a soapy, nonabrasive material. Be sure to
dry it thoroughly.
If the feet leave spots on the counter,
spray spots with a spot remover and wipe
with a damp sponge.
If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the
procedure and wipe the area with a damp
sponge and nonabrasive cleaning powder.
IMPORTANT:
Never store any blade or disc
on the motor shaft. No blade or disc should
be placed on the shaft except when the
Food Processor is about to be used.
MAINTENANCE:
Any servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.
