9. CLEANING AND STORAGE
• Keep the appliance unplugged when it is not in use.
IMPORTANT: The blade must be kept out of the
reach of children.
• All parts, except the housing base, are dishwasher
safe. We recommend washing them on the upper
rack of the dishwasher. If they are placed on the
lower rack, the amount of hot water could, over time,
damage the bowl, the lid and the accessories. Place
the bowl upside down.
• If you wash the blade by hand, use extreme care, the
blade is very sharp. Do not leave it in soapy water as it
may disappear from sight.
• Take extra care when loading and unloading the
blade in the dishwasher.
• To make cleaning easier, rinse the work bowl, lid and
blade immediately after use so food won't dry on
them.
• Chopping certain foods (e.g. spices and sugar) may
scratch, cloud or discolour the work bowl.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the housing base.
Simply wipe it with a damp cloth and then dry it.
• Apply cleaning agents to the cloth, not the housing
base.
10. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Like any household electric appliance, your mini
processor must be handled with care. Follow the
precautions below to avoid personal injury.
• ATTENTION: The plastic bags in which the
unit is wrapped or which are used for the
packaging may be dangerous. To avoid all
risk of suff ocation, keep these bags out of the
reach of babies and children. The bags are
not toys.
