Cleaning and Storage CAUTION! • • • Remove the plug from the mains socket before cleaning the device. Never immerse the motor unit in water or other liquids! Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the device. These could damage the surface. The plastic parts (mixing container or kneading spiral) may become discolored as a result of the addition of certain ingredients (e.g. vegetable juices containing a lot of coloring agent).
Cleaning Helpful Tip: To clean the pasta dies and other stubborn areas, allow the remnants of dough to dry for 1-2 hours before cleaning, they will then be easier to remove. • • • All accessories (apart from the motor unit!) are dishwasher-safe. Clean all accessories in the dishwasher or by hand using warm water and mild detergent. If necessary, soften the individual parts in warm soapy water so that even more stubborn remnants of dough can be removed.
