6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
You can leave your appliance on the worktop of your kitchen.
Disconnect it when not in use. Do not leave the lid in locked position
in order to avoid damage to the mechanism.
The blade should be stored out of the reach of children.
All components of your appliance, except for the motor base, can be
put in the dishwasher. We recommend to rinse the preparation bowl,
lid and blade immediately after use so as to avoid drying of the foods.
If you wash the blade manually, be very careful. Avoid to leave it in
soapy water where you could not see it anymore. Always handle it
with utmost care.
To clean the motor base, use a sponge soaked in soft detergent. Do
not use abrasive sponges.
IMPORTANT: Never leave the blade on the motor shaft
when the appliance is not in use.
