Initial Setup

Before first use, wash all components with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly and storage.

Operating the Salad Spinner

To Wash and Dry Greens:

1. Place your salad greens into the salad spinner basket.

Maintenance and Cleaning

All components of the Brieftons Salad Spinner and Chopper are designed for easy cleaning. They are top-rack dishwasher safe. For best results and to prolong product life, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended, especially for the lid mechanism and chopper blades.
