[. . . ] INSTRUCTION AND RECIPE BOOKLET Pro Custom 11TM Food Processor DLC-8S Series For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction book carefully before using. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Always follow these safety precautions when using this appliance. Unplug from outlet when not i n use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. [. . . ] Store the blades and discs as you would sharp knives -- out of the reach of children. The Disc and Blade Holders (optional accessories) offer safe and convenient storage. All parts except the motor base are dishwasher safe, and we recommend washing them in the dishwasher on the top rack. Due to intense water heat, washing the work bowl and work bowl cover on the bottom rack may cause damage over time. Remember where you place sharp blades and discs, and be certain to unload the dishwasher carefully. To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, pusher assembly and blade or disc immediately after use. Openings at the bottom of the large pusher provide drainage and make cleaning easy. If food lodges in the pusher, remove it by running water through pusher or using a bottle brush. If you wash blades and discs by hand, do it carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. To clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the blade by its plastic center and move rapidly up and down on the center shaft of the bowl. The work bowl is made of Lexan® plastic, which is shatter-resistant and heat-resistant. It should not be placed in a microwave oven, as the tube at the back of the bowl houses the metal rod that activates the motor. 25 Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the work bowl. Among them are ice, whole spices and oils, like wintergreen. If you like to prepare your own spice blends, you may want to keep a second bowl just for that purpose. The base housing is made of a durable, high impact resistant plastic. Its smooth surface will look new for years. Keep a sponge handy as you work to wipe spills from the base. Four rubber feet under the base help keep it stable on most work surfaces even when processing heavy loads. If the feet leave spots on the counter, spray them with a spot remover like Fantastik® or K2-R® and wipe with a damp sponge. If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the procedure and wipe the area with a damp sponge and nonabrasive cleaning powder. To clean the inside of the detachable stem, slide the stem release button up as far as it will go and hold as you run water through the stem.
