5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your food processor.

1. Clean the splash guard, blades, and bowl immediately after each use.
2. Do not rinse the motor base directly with water. Instead, use a soft, warm, damp cloth to wipe the outside of the head when cleaning.
3. When cleaning, use an appropriate amount of detergent in clean water and clean with a soft cleaning pad. Warm water is recommended for better cleaning.
4. The blades are very sharp. Do not touch them directly with your hands. Ensure the water is clear enough to see the blades during the cleaning process to avoid injuries.
5. Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents.
6. It is strictly forbidden to sterilize any part of this product at high temperatures.
7. After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling. Store the machine in a good, dry place.
8. If the product is not used for a long time, charge and maintain it every three months.

6. Troubleshooting

• Device not turning on: Ensure the device is fully charged.
• Blades blocked or not rotating: This usually occurs if the machine is overloaded. Reduce the amount of food in the bowl and ensure food pieces are small enough.
• Inconsistent chopping: Ensure food is cut into uniform, smaller pieces before processing. Process in short bursts (15 seconds) and check consistency.
• Overheating: If the device feels warm, allow it to cool down. Adhere to the recommended operating cycles (30 seconds on, 2 minutes rest; 3 cycles then 30 minutes cool-down) to prevent overheating.
