Care and Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regular cleaning will prolong the life of your KRUPS Mini Pro 708. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

• Processing Bowl, Lid, and Blade: These parts are hand wash only. Wash immediately after use in warm, soapy water to prevent food from drying on. Use a brush for hard-to-reach areas and exercise extreme caution when handling the sharp blade. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
• Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or place it under running water.
