It is highly recommended that all removable parts are washed by hand. However,
the removable parts can be washed in a dishwasher
–
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 chopping blade and
the slicing/shredding disc.
–
If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack only
– not
in or near the utensil basket
5.
Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
6.
Do not fill the bowl with boiling water or place any of the parts in boiling water.
Some foods, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the bowl. To remove stains,
make a paste of 1 tablespoon baking soda and two tablespoons warm water. Apply
the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth, rinse in sudsy water and dry the baking
soda.
