Before The First Use; Cleaning And Maintenance - Alpina MC375-GS Manuel D'utilisation

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Before using this appliance for the first time, wash the bowl and
blade assembly in sudsy water and dry them thoroughly; these
parts are safe to clean in a dishwasher. Wipe the motor unit with
a damp cloth; do not immerse the motor unit in water.
HOW TO CHOP OR MINCE FOOD
1. Place the bowl on a work surface or other flat surface, then
slide the blade down over the shaft in the bowl. Be careful
not to touch the blade as it is extremely sharp.
2. Place dry food in the bowl, referring to the chopping guide
for details regarding the specific food.
3. Position the motor unit on the bowl, lining up the motor unit
locking tabs with the bowl locking slots so that the motor
unit locks into place.
Note: For your protection, this appliance has a lid locking
system. The appliance will not operate unless the tabs on
the motor unit and the slots on the bowl align. Do not
attempt to operate the appliance without locking the motor
unit in place.
4. Depress and hold the pulse button to process food.
Note: This product has a 'pulse action' feature. Avoid
running the motor continuously in this mode for longer than
30 seconds. The longer the continuous pulse, the finer the
texture. For coarsely chopped food, use short pulses.
5. Ensure the blade has stopped rotating completely before
removing the motor unit. Unplug the appliance. Remove
the motor unit and grasp the plastic blade hub. Carefully
pull the blade assembly out. Remove the bowl and empty
out the processed food. Do not use the bowl for storing
food.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet before
cleaning it.
Wash the bowl and blade assembly immediately after use either
with warm/sudsy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe off the motor
unit with a damp cloth; do not immerse it in water.
