[. . . ] For over 30 years, Cuisinart® has been developing a wide range of kitchen appliances that let both passionate amateurs and great chefs express their creativity to the fullest.

Every product combines strength, innovation, performance and ergonomics. [. . . ] All the pieces that can be removed from the unit may be washed in water. When doing so, use washing up liquid, never use abrasive cleaning products which could scratch the surface. Vegetables and fruit will harden if you leave them to dry on the appliance parts, which will make it more difficult to clean. Remove the parts of the extractor by following the dismantling instructions (Section 3D). Then clean the pulp container, the juice pitcher, the pusher, the lid and the filter in warm, soapy water or place these parts in the dishwasher. CAUTION: Handle the filter with care when washing, because the blades at the base of the basket are very sharp. For more juice, always carefully clean the filter using the brush provided. As with all domestic electrical appliances, this juice extractor must be handled with care. ATTENTION: The plastic bags used to wrap this appliance or the packaging may be dangerous. To avoid risk of suffocation, keep these bags out of the reach of babies and children. Before turning the appliance on, make sure the filter is firmly pressed onto the motor shaft, and that the lid is correctly placed. ⷠAlways wait until the filter has stopped turning before removing the pusher or the lid. ⷠTurn the unit off and unplug it before cleaning, attaching or removing the pulp container or handling the parts that move when operating. ⷠDo not use the unit if the rotating filter is damaged.
