Instructions

1
Make sure that the processor is washed and clean before using it. Place the bowl over the base shaft and rotate it to fix into place firmly. Use the instruction manual for attaching other parts of the processor like mini bowl, juicer etc. Use the pulse button to control the rotation of the processor. Pressing the button will resume processing and releasing it will stop it.

Make sure that any fruit that you put in the juicer is halved, cored and peeled. The seed should be removed before processing. Cut the fruits and vegetables roughly into halves and quarters so that they fit into the feed tube easily.

When you are done with processing the food, it is very important to clean the processor well before you set it aside. Take the several parts apart. Now wash the parts individually in warm water. Do not use any steel abrasive cleaners on the parts. They can cause damage. Be very careful while working around the blades and the sharp edges. After cleaning the parts, wipe them dry with a clean cloth.

Do not soak the base shaft in water. Use a clean wet cloth to wipe it clean. If there are any stubborn stains, use a sponge dipped in a soapy solution to scrape it away. Dry the base well along with the individual parts.
