Chopper/Grinder Attachment
To simplify cleaning, rinse the prep bowl, cover, and blade immediately after use, so that food won’t dry onto them. Wash blade ring, plastic sheath, and prep bowl in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe the underside of the chopper/grinder cover with a sponge or damp cloth to remove any food. Do not submerge the cover in water or put in the dishwasher. Wash the blade carefully. Avoid leaving it in soapy water where it could disappear from sight. If you have a dishwasher, you can wash the prep bowl blade assembly on the upper shelf. Insert the prep bowl upside down.

To clean the gearbox, simply wipe it with a damp cloth. To clean the metal whisk, wash with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquid.
