CLEANING
Read all of the instructions before you begin
to clean the machine.
BEFORE CLEANING: Always switch off the
machine and remove the power supply plug
from the socket. Alternatively, if the machine
does not have a plug, open the isolating switch.
Remove all the removable parts that are to
be cleaned
CLEANING IN A DISHWASHER: All removable
parts are machine washable.
CLEANING BY HAND: Always use hand
dishwashing liquid.
CLEANING MATERIALS: Use a dish brush to
clean the food zones. The knife shaft in the
center of the machine can be cleaned with a
small bottlebrush. Use a damp cloth to wipe
down the other surfaces on the machine.
DISINFECTING: Use isopropyl alcohol (65–
70%). Isopropyl alcohol is highly inflammable
so use caution when applying it.
WARNING:
• Do not pour or spray water onto the sides
of the machine.
• Do not use boiling or hot water.
• Do not use sodium hypochlorite (chlorine)
or any agent containing this substance.
• Do not use sharp objects or any objects not
intended for the purpose of cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive detergents or cleaning
products.
AVOID: Do not use cleaning sponges with
scouring pads (e.g. Scotch-Brite™) unless
absolutely necessary. This roughens the
surface and makes it less water repellent.
ADVICE ON CARE:
• Clean the machine immediately after use.
• Dry the machine immediately after cleaning
to avoid oxidation and discoloration of the
surface.
INFORMATION: If the machine is left damp
for longer periods stains will appear. These
stains are harmless but the original surface
will lose its luster. Vegetables and fruit contain
acids. Depending on which products are
processed this will have an effect on the metal
after varying periods of time. It is therefore
important to clean the machine immediately
after processing salty and acidic products.
