Cleaning and servicing

The appliance requires no maintenance.  Thorough cleaning protects the appliance  from damage and keeps it functional. An overview of cleaning the individual parts  can be found in Fig. G.

Risk of electric shock
Never immerse the base unit in water or  place under running water.

Warning!
Surfaces may be damaged. Do not use  abrasive cleaning agents.
Note: If processing e.g. carrots and red  cabbage, the plastic parts will become  discolored by a red film which can be  removed with a few drops of cooking oil.

Cleaning the base unit

  • Remove mains plug.
  • Wipe the base unit with a damp cloth. If required, use a little detergent.
  • Then dry the base unit.

Cleaning the bowl and accessories

Risk of injury from sharp blades!

  • Do not touch blades of the universal blade  with bare hands. When not in use, always  store the universal blade in the blade guard.
  • Clean them with a brush. Do not grip the  sharp blades or edges of the cutting discs.  Grip the discs by the plastic part in the center  only!
  • All parts are dishwasher proof. Do not  wedge plastic parts in the dishwasher as  they could warp.

Cleaning the blender / universal cutter

Risk of injury from sharp blades!

  • Do not touch blades of the blade insert with  bare hands. Clean them with a brush.
  • The blender jug (without blade insert), lid  and funnel are dishwasher proof.
  • Do not clean the blade insert in the dish­washer, but under running water (do not  soak in water). Remove seal for cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Risk of injury!
Before rectifying a fault, pull out the  mains plug.
