Once you have finished using it, discon-
nect the appliance.

sembly (D).
„ Place the bowl on a flat surface.
„ Unlock the lid by rotating one quarter of a
turn clockwise. Carefully remove the lid.
„ The elements of the lid (seal, seal holder

cooled down, unclip the seal holder of the
lid by sliding the end of the spatula han-
dle (G) between the two parts to separate
them (See Fig. 15).
„ Take care with the knives of the ultra-
blade blade (F1) and the kneading /
grinding knife (F4) when you are clean-
ing them and when you empty the bowl,
they are extremely sharp.
„ When the parts have cooled down:
- dismantle the spindle (D3), the seal (D4)
and the locking ring (D6) (See Fig. 13).

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

„ Rinse these different parts under running
water.
„ If there is a build up of limescale in the
bowl, use a damp sponge and, if neces-
sary, white vinegar or cleaning products
suitable for stainless steel.
„ For food stuck in the bowl, leave the bowl
to soak for several hours in water with a
little washing up liquid and dishwashing
detergent and scrape, if necessary, with
a spatula (G) or with the abrasive side of
a sponge.
„ To clean the motor unit (A), use a damp
cloth. Dry carefully.
„ To help you with cleaning, the bowl, lid
assembly and accessories are dishwash-
er safe, with the exception of the spindle
(D3 and D4) and the locking ring (D6)
(See Fig. 14).
„ The accessories, the detachable spindle
(D3) and the parts of the lid may become
slightly discoloured with certain ingredi-
ents such as curry, carrot juice, etc; this
does not represent any danger for your
health or for the operation of your appli-
ance. To avoid this, clean these parts im-
mediately after use.
„ Before using the bowl (D), make sure that
the electrical contacts under the bowl are
clean and dry.
„ To avoid altering the materials of the bowl
(D), ensure that you respect the instruc-
tions for use of your dishwasher, do not
increase the dose of dishwasher salt or
dishwashing products.
