CARE & CLEANING
NOTE:
Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the chopping blade or the reversible
disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted
sharpening.
CLEANING
NOTE:
Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
CAUTION:
Turn unit off and unplug from outlet before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Never use a harsh detergent or
abrasive cleaner.
CAUTION:
to protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put food processor base or
electrical cord in water or any other liquid.
• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.
- If washing by hand, wash in hot sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use
a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the bowl and food chute/cover, this type
of brush will also help prevent cutting yourself on the sharp chopping blade and slice/
shred disc.
- If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack only.
CAUTION:
Blade and processing disc are sharp. Handle carefully.
• Some foods, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the bowl. To remove stains, make a paste
of 2 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon warm water. Apply the paste to the stains
and rub with a cloth. Rinse with sudsy water and dry.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
• Do not fill the bowl with boiling water or place any of the parts in boiling water.
STORAGE
CAUTION:
Blade and processing disc are sharp. Handle carefully.
Store appliance in a clean, dry place with the chopper bowl and cover in the unlocked position.
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Food is being processed
unevenly or the food processor
is moving across the work
surface.
You are overloading the
chopper bowl.
Next time, process this amount
in two or more batches.
The food processor vibrates
or there are signs that the
chopping blade or slice/shred
disc is hitting the chopper bowl
while the processor is operating.
The chopping blade or slice/
shred disc has not been
assembled properly.
Stop the food processor
immediately and assemble the
chopping blade or slice/shred
disc properly.
Liquid leaks from the bottom of
the chopper bowl.
Too much liquid in the bowl.
Process smaller amounts.
Cover does not move freely
when attached to the chopper
bowl.
The edges might need
lubricating.
Use a small amount of
vegetable oil to lubricate the
edges of the chopper bowl and
cover.
Food falls over in the food chute
during slicing.
The food chute has not been
well packed or uneven pressure
has been applied to the food
pusher during processing.
Cut pieces in even lengths just a
little shorter than the length of
the food chute. Pack the chute
carefully and maintain an even
pressure on the food pusher as
the food is being processed.

back on.
The unit is plugged into an
outlet that is not working.
Verify outlet is not working by
plugging another appliance
then plug into a working outlet.
