Care & Cleaning - Breville the Sous Chef 12 Instruction Book

Care & Cleaning
Remove the power cord from the power outlet
after use for safety reasons.
Processing bowl and lid
Due to the interlock components, we do not
recommend immersing the bowl in water for
long periods.
To keep your bowl and lid clean, and to avoid
food drying on, follow these steps as soon as
possible after use:
• Rinse most of the ingredients off the
bowl and lid.
• Hand wash in warm, soapy water using a mild
liquid detergent and non-abrasive sponge.
Blades and discs
Blades and discs are razor sharp, do not touch.
Always use a spatula or brush to remove food
or when cleaning blades.
Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft,
damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any
excess food particles from the power cord.
Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
cleansers on either the motor base or the jug,
as they may scratch the surface.
Use only warm soap water with a soft cloth.
Dishwasher
The processing bowl and lid may occasionally
be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf
only), however washing in the dishwasher
is not recommended on a regular basis, as
prolonged exposure to harsh detergents,
hot water and pressure will damage and
shorten the life of the plastic and the interlock
components.
Stubborn food stains and odors
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and
some vegetables such as carrots may leave an
odor or stain the bowl or lid.
To remove, pour warm soapy water and fill to
the MAX LIQUID mark. Set aside to soak for
5 minutes, without immersing the whole bowl.
Then wash with a mild detergent and warm
water, rise well and dry thoroughly. Store the
bowl with the lid off.
Storage
Place the large food pusher (with medium
and small pushers inserted) into the feed
chute for storage.
Store your food processor upright, with the
bowl and lid resting in position, but not
locked. Locking the bowl and lid can put
unnecessary strain on the safety interlock.
All accessories should be kept in a safe
place out of the reach of children to avoid
accidental cuts. It is not recommended to
store the discs in a drawer with other utensils.
We recommend storing the S-blades inside
the bowl, with the variable slicer on top. These
blades are extremely sharp, and the bowl
provides natural protection.
Do not place anything else on top of your
food processor during storage.
