Cleaning

2 Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
3 Wipe the base, control knob, and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the base in liquid.

necessary, use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the bowl and
