Cleaning And Storage; Safety Cautions - Cuisinart MP14NE Instructions Manual

9. CLEANING AND STORAGE

This appliance can be left out on the kitchen counter. Leave it unplugged when
it is not in use.
The blades and discs should be stored out of the reach of children.
All the appliance's parts, except the housing base and the body of the whisk
with planetary action, are dishwasher safe. It is recommended that you rinse
the work bowl, cover, pushers, blades, discs and whisks immediately after use
so food won't dry on them.
If you wash the blades and the discs by hand, do so carefully. Avoid leaving
them in soapy water. Always handle them very carefully.
The work bowl is not microwave safe, since the mechanism in the pusher that
activates the motor is metal.
Use a sponge and soft soap to clean the base of the appliance. Never use
an abrasive sponge.
IMPORTANT
Never leave a blade or disc on the motor shaft when the appliance is not in
use.
Once the whisk attachment has been removed from the work bowl, it can be
quickly and easily washed. The body of the whisk cannot be immersed in water
or any other liquid. Clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry immediately.
Before storing the whisk, make sure that all the pieces are perfectly clean and
that there is no trace of oil or grease. Traces of either of these will slow
the beater down next time you use it.
