Care & Cleaning NOTE: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the chopping blade or the reversible disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening. Cleaning 1 Before cleaning, be sure the unit is switched off and the cord is unplugged. 2 Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup. 3 Wipe the base, control knob, and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the base in liquid. 4 All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher, top rack. • If washing by hand, 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 slice/shred 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 2 tablespoons (30ml) baking soda and 1 tablespoon (15ml) warm water. Apply the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse with sudsy water and dry. www.oster.com 11
