Care And Cleaning - Mistral MKM2200 Instruction Manual

Care and Cleaning

ATTENTION! Before cleaning, unplug the
power cord and wait for the appliance
to cool down!
ATTENTION! Do not immerse the plug,
power cord, base unit and bowl in water
or any other liquids.
ATTENTION! Before cleaning, dismantle
all accessories of the appliance.
ATTENTION! The knife blades are sharp.
Be careful not to get hurt.
Clean the appliance and its accessories after
each use. This will keep it fully operational.
Do not use aggressive detergents, solvents or
hard materials that could scratch the surface.
Clean the housing of the appliance (Fig.8) by
wiping it with a damp, delicate cloth and then
wipe it dry. In case of heavy soiling.
You can pre-wash the inside of the bowl by
pouring about 0.6l of water with detergent and
setting the high speed of the knife for about
30 seconds. This operation allows for a rough
cleaning of the interior but the bowl still needs to
be washed thoroughly.
If there are signs of scorching at the bottom of
the bowl, pour a little bit of a water solution of
citric acid and wait a few minutes.
Remove all accessories from the machine and
wash in warm water with detergent, rinse and
dry thoroughly. You can also wash them in the
dishwasher with the exception of the bowl (8)
and drive shaft (25) - see Fig. 9.
Pay attention to the cleanliness and correct
positioning of the rubber seals (3), (16) and
(24). You can dismantle and wash these
seals separately, but remember to install
them correctly where they belong. The
seals have different dimensions and are not
interchangeable with each other.
Store the appliance in a dry and sunny place.
When storing for a long time, put it in a box.
The bowl is equipped with overheating
protection. If the temperature in the bowl
exceeds a dangerous level, the bowl
heating function will not work until the thermal
control is reset. The reset button is located on
the bottom of the bowl (Fig.10). Use a small
screwdriver or pen to press the reset button.
Do not use a sharp tool. Resetting the thermal
control will cause a characteristic click.
Reset Button
But before you reset the thermal control,
remember some important points:
A possible cause of overheating is not using
the chop blade or stir paddle, cooking after
emptying the bowl or cooking the food at an
inappropriate high temperature and for too long.
Never let the food burn in the bowl. If the food
starts to burn, lower the cooking temperature
and add some water or fat.
Empty and cool the bowl before resetting the
thermal control.
Do not put the bowl in the fridge.
ATTENTION! If the thermal control
switches off the bowl heating very
often it can mean a technical fault. Do
not use a damaged bowl. Contact an
authorised service centre.
ATTENTION! Do not use a bowl with a
defective thermal control button.
ATTENTION! Do not use sharp objects,
abrasive pastes, solvents and other
strong chemicals - their use may
damage the appliance.
