vegetables with baking soda. Rinse stained parts in water and sprinkle with
baking soda. Rub with a soft, damp cloth. Rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on any parts.
Maintenance
This unit is designed with a safety interlock. The interlock requires that the
Cover be in place before the blade will rotate. (The interlock does not control
operation of the Motor.) To ensure that the interlock is operating correctly, hold
the Adaptor and rotate the Drive Shaft several turns. The metal Star Drive on
the bottom of the Adaptor should NOT turn. If it does turn, DO NOT USE.
Return the unit to an authorized service facility for repair. DO NOT USE THE
