accessories which offer safe and convenient
storage.
All parts except the housing base are
dishwasher safe, and we recommend
washing them in the dishwasher on the top
rack only.
Due to intense water heat, washing the work
bowl and work bowl cover on the
bottom rack of your dishwasher may cause
damage over time. Insert the work bowl
upside down. Remember to unload the
dishwasher carefully wherever you place
sharp blades and discs.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl,
cover, pusher assembly and blade or disc
immediately after use, so food won’t dry on
them. Openings at the bottom of the large
pusher provide drainage and make cleaning
easy. If food lodges in the pusher, remove it
by running water through it, or use a bottle
brush.
If you wash blades and discs by hand, do
it carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water
where they may disappear from sight.
To clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl
with soapy water, hold the blade by its
plastic center and move it rapidly up and
down on the center shaft of the bowl. Use
of a spray attachment is also effective. If
necessary, use a brush.
The work bowl should not be placed in a
microwave oven, as the aperture at the front
of the pusher houses the metal rod that
activates the motor.
TIP: When preparing a meal, make the
dishes with the least amount of wet
ingredients first. For example, make the
bread first; then you don’t need to wash
the bowl before making the salad. In many
cases, wiping the bowl with a paper towel
between recipes is sufficient.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or
cloud the work bowl. These foods include
ice, whole spices, coffee beans and oils
like wintergreen. If you like to prepare your
own spice blends, you may want to keep a
second bowl just for that purpose.
The housing base is made of a tough plastic
with high impact resistance. Its smooth
surface will look new for years. Keep a
sponge handy as you work, and wipe spills
from the base.
Four rubber feet on the underside keep the
base from moving on most work surfaces
when the machine is processing heavy
loads. If the feet leave spots on the counter,
spray them with a spot remover and wipe
with a damp sponge. If any trace of the spot
remains, repeat the procedure and wipe the
area with a damp sponge and nonabrasive
cleaning powder. Dry completely.
To clean the inside of the detachable stem,
slide the stem release button on the side up
as far as it will go and hold it there as you
run water through the stem.
IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or disc
on the motor shaft. No blade or disc should
be placed on the shaft except when the
processor is about to be used.
Maintenance: Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Like all powerful electrical appliances, a
Premier Series 11 Cup Food Processor
should be handled with care. Follow these
guidelines to protect yourself and your family
from misuse that could cause injury.
Handle and store metal blades and discs
carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp.
Always place discs on flat, stable surface
before connecting detachable stem.
Never put blades or discs on the motor shaft
until the work bowl is locked in place.
Always be sure that the blade or disc is
down on motor shaft as far as it will go.
Always insert chopping blade and dough
blade in the work bowl before putting
ingredients in bowl.
When slicing or shredding food, always use
the pusher. Never put your fingers or spatula
into feed tube.
Always wait for the blade or disc to stop
spinning before you remove the pusher
assembly or cover from the work bowl.
Always unplug the unit before removing food,
cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts.
Always remove work bowl from base of
machine before you remove chopping blade
