Note:

After processing very salty ingredients clean the appliance immediately to avoid stains and damage.

Carefully clean the appliance and the vessel with a damp sponge or cloth and warm soapy water. Soak stubborn residues on the processing tools in warm dish-water for ca. 10 minutes and then remove the residues with a soft washing brush.

1. Always release the ON-button, wait for the motor to stop completely and unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
