Care and Cleaning 1. Unplug from outlet. 2. Discoloration of the plastic may occur with some fruits and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash all parts immediately after use. 3. All removable parts are dishwasher-safe. DO NOT use the "SANI" setting when washing in the dishwasher. "SANI" cycle temperatures could damage your product. Do not place the Motor Base in the dishwasher. Some part distortion may occur if your household dishwasher's temperature is higher than normal or if the parts are placed too close to the heating element. Always treat the Strainer Basket with care; it can be damaged easily. To assist with cleaning, soak the Strainer Basket in hot, soapy water for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry on the basket it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh, thereby lessening the effectiveness of the Juice Extractor. w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not immerse motor base in water or any other liquid. w CAUTION Laceration Hazard. The center of the strainer basket contains small, sharp blades to process fruits and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not touch blades when handling the strainer basket. The Cleaning Brush (included with select models) is the most effective way to clean the Strainer Basket. Using the Brush, hold the Strainer Basket under running water and brush inside and outside of the Basket.
