dismantling the processor
1 Unplug the processor (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable).
2 Lift the motor unit off the processing lid.
3 Lift the processing lid off the bowl – hold it at an angle, to let anything on it drip
back into the bowl.
4 Hold the blade unit by the plastic part, and lift it off the spindle.
5 You may have to turn it slightly to free it from the spindle flanges.
6 Take care – the blades are very sharp.
cleaning
7 Take care when you’re handling and cleaning the blade unit – if you can’t see what
you’re doing, don’t do it.
8 Wipe the outer surfaces of the motor unit with a damp cloth.
9 Wash the bowl, lids, and blade unit in warm soapy water.
10 Rinse to remove all traces of soap and air dry.
11 Clean the inside of the blade unit with a toothpick, or the end of a small bottle brush.
12 Take care when storing the blade unit – whenever possible, store the processor
assembled, with the blade unit fitted inside the bowl.
13 Don’t put the motor unit in water or any other liquid.
14 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
15 You may wash the bowl in a dishwasher, although the harsh environment may affect
the surface finishes. Any damage will be cosmetic, and won’t affect the operation of
the processor.
16 Don’t put any of the other parts in a dishwasher.
