Setup and Installation

To ensure safe and effective operation, correctly install the bowl lid and its seal.

1. Inspect Components: Before installation, verify that both the lid and the grey rubber seal are clean and free from any damage or debris.
2. Install the Seal: Place the grey rubber seal securely into the groove located on the underside of the lid. Ensure it is seated evenly all around the rim to create a tight seal.
3. Position the Lid: Place the assembled lid onto the food processor bowl. Align the lid's tabs with the corresponding slots on the bowl.
4. Secure the Lid: Gently press down and rotate the lid clockwise until it locks into place. You should feel a click or resistance indicating it is properly secured. Ensure there are no gaps between the lid and the bowl.

Important: Never operate the food processor without the lid securely in place.

Operating Instructions

The bowl lid is an integral part of your food processor's safe operation. Follow these guidelines during use:

• Before Starting: Always ensure the lid is correctly installed and locked onto the bowl before activating the food processor. This prevents spills and ensures the appliance functions as intended.
• Adding Ingredients: If your food processor model allows, use the filler cap or opening in the center of the lid to add ingredients during operation. Refer to your main food processor manual for specific instructions on adding ingredients.
• Removing the Lid: After the food processor has completely stopped and all moving parts have ceased, unlock and remove the lid by rotating it counter-clockwise and lifting it off the bowl.

Safety Note: Do not attempt to force the lid open or remove it while the appliance is running.

Maintenance and Care

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your bowl lid and seal.

• Cleaning: The lid and seal should be cleaned after each use. Wash both components by hand using warm, soapy water.
• Drying: Thoroughly rinse all soap residue and allow the lid and seal to air dry completely before reassembling or storing. Ensure the rubber seal is dry to prevent mold or mildew.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the rubber seal for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. A damaged seal may compromise the appliance's performance and lead to leaks. Replace the seal if any damage is observed.
• Storage: Store the lid and seal in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Caution: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the lid's surface.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bowl lid, refer to the following common solutions:

• Lid Not Sealing Properly:
  • Check if the grey rubber seal is correctly seated in its groove on the lid.
  • Ensure the seal is clean and free of food particles or debris.
  • Inspect the seal for any damage, tears, or hardening. A worn-out seal may need replacement.
  • Verify that the lid is aligned correctly with the bowl and fully locked into position.
• Lid Difficult to Attach/Remove:
  • Ensure the lid and bowl rims are clean and dry.
  • Apply a small amount of food-grade lubricant (e.g., vegetable oil) to the rubber seal if it feels stiff, but ensure it's thoroughly cleaned afterward.
  • Avoid forcing the lid; ensure proper alignment before attempting to lock or unlock.
• Leaks During Operation:
  • This is typically caused by an improperly seated or damaged seal. Refer to "Lid Not Sealing Properly" above.
  • Ensure the bowl is not overfilled beyond its maximum capacity.

If problems persist, contact Moulinex customer support or an authorized service center.
