Cleaning Instructions
1. Always unplug appliance before cleaning.
2. Never immerse the Motor Assembly of this appliance in water or other liquid.
3. The Blade, Food Press Plate, Feeder and Food Tray can all be hand washed in warm soapy water. Be careful when
cleaning Blade, which is extremely sharp. Do not leave Blade underwater; trying to handle sharp objects in water
is hazardous.
4. Set Thickness Adjustment Knob to ‘0’.
5. Remove Food Press Plate and Feeder by tilting off as shown in Figure 5.
6. Remove Blade as shown in Figure 6. Hold blade with one hand and use a coin to unlock Blade Locking Screw by
turning it clockwise. Carefully pull blade off and hold by using the blade hole.
7. Clean outer surface of Motor Assembly and Base with damp cloth. Mild detergent or plain water can be used to
dampen cloth. Never immerse Motor Assembly in water or any other liquid. Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or sharp utensils.
8. To facilitate cleaning, the Thickness Adjustment Knob can be turned past ‘0’ as shown in Figure 7 to allow
Supporting Plate to slide back – only use this feature with blade removed. After cleaning and before reassembling,
push Support Plate forward and reset Thickness Adjustment Knob to ‘0’ (Figure 8).
9. After cleaning and drying, install Blade and Blade Screw to Motor Assembly in reverse order of step 6
(see Figure 6). Make sure Blade Locking Screw is properly engaged and tightened. Reinstall Food Press Plate
and Feeder.
