CARE AND 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.
1. Before cleaning, turn the Control Knob to OFF and unplug the cord to
Food Processor.
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 in the top rack.
Do not put in or near the utensil basket.
5. If washing removable parts by hand, wash in hot, sudsy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly.
6. If necessary use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the Bowl and
Bowl Cover. This type of brush will also help prevent cutting yourself
on the Chopping Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc.
7. Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
8. Do not fill the Bowl with boiling water or place any of the parts in boiling water.
9. Some foods, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the Bowl. To remove stains,
make a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon warm water.
Apply the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse and dry.
Any other servicing should be performed by a Sears or other qualified service dealer.
