CARE, CLEANING AND STORAGE:
Always unplug your Salad Maker from the electrical outlet before cleaning
any part of it.
The serving bowl, basket, cutting discs and plunger are all dishwasher
safe. If you wash the basket in the dishwasher, wash it on the top rack only to
prevent heat damage. The cutting discs and plunger should be positioned
securely so they will not fall through the dishwasher rack. You can also wash
these parts by hand, using warm soapy water. Handle the cutting discs with extra
care, as they are very sharp. Rinse and dry the discs carefully before each use.
Do not wash the main body in the dishwasher.
To clean the main body, use a damp sponge or cloth to remove any residue.
Stubborn stains can be removed with a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Dry carefully
before next use. NEVER immerse the main body of Salad Maker in water.
You should check the main body of your Salad Maker periodically for damage.
If any part of the body is chipped or cracked, do not use the appliance.
Contact customer service.
For compact storage of the Salad Maker, place the plunger in the basket, place
basket in bowl, and turn the main body upside down so it fits in the bowl.
