Cleaning And Maintenance; Faq - Cuisinart CJE500AR Instructions Manual

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• All the parts that can be removed from the unit may be washed
in water. They are also dishwasher safe.
• Never immerse the housing base in water or spray it with water.
Clean it using a damp sponge, cloth or household paper towel
only. When doing so, use washing up liquid, never use abrasive
cleaning products which could scratch the surface.
• To make cleaning the unit easier, always wash it immediately
after use. Vegetables and fruit will harden if you leave them to
dry on the appliance parts, which will make it more difficult to
clean.
1. Unplug the juice extractor.
2. Remove the parts of the extractor by following the dismantling
instructions (section 3B).
3. First rinse the parts in cold water. Then clean the pulp container,
the juice pitcher, the pusher, the lid and the filter in warm,
soapy water or place these parts in the dishwasher. Do not use
metal brushes or sponges.
CAUTION: Handle the filter with care when washing because the
blades at the base of the basket are very sharp. For more juice,
always carefully clean the filter using the brush provided.
4. Dry all parts with a towel.
