4.
Carotenoids, which are found in carrots and many other vegetables, can cause
discolouration of plastics, which may be permanent. Although this will not affect
the operation of the appliance, permanent discolouration may be prevented by;

Rubbing the stains with cooking oil immediately before washing may help.
b.
Cleaning the affected parts in a dishwasher may reduce the staining.

If you use a dishwasher, the harsh environment inside the dishwasher will affect
the surface finishes. The damage should be cosmetic only, and should not affect
the operation of the appliance.
