CLEANING AND CARE

1. Before cleaning, switch off the appliance and wait till the appliance has stopped completely before unplugging from the main outlet.
2. Wash all parts, except for the motor base, in warm soapy water. All parts, except for the whisk holder, chopper bowl lid, and storage lid, can be washed on the top rack of your dishwasher. Dry each part thoroughly before use. (you may place the multi knife in an upright position with blades facing downwards to allow it to drain thoroughly.)
   Warning! Never immerse the handheld part, plug, cord, whisk holder, and chopper bowl lid in water or any other fluid.
3. The handheld part, whisk holder, and chopper bowl lid should only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth, then dried with a cloth.
   Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean the surfaces of your appliance.
   Ensure that all parts of the appliance are clean and completely dry before storage.
   To avoid the crazing of the chopper bowl, always rinse the chopper bowl with only clean water right after usage. This is to prevent acids or essential oils from the ingredients that may attack the plastic material. After rinsing the chopper bowl, it can be washed by hand with detergent, or placed into the dishwasher for cleaning.
   Avoid leaving the ready dishes (e.g. soup, smoothie, juice) in the chopper bowl for a long time, especially when acidic ingredients (e.g. lime, lemon) are processed.
   Always rinse the chopper bowl thoroughly with only clean water before placing it in the dishwasher.
   However, if crazing would appear, the effect is purely cosmetic and it does not have any impact on the integrity of the chopper bowl.
