1. Disassemble strainer and wash all parts in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Note: A small, stiff brush works best for cleaning the screens.
Pay close attention to the end of the screen and the seam where food may
get stuck. The white plastic parts may become discolored after straining
cooked foods, such as tomatoes and berries.
2. Apply another drop of vegetable oil to the rubber seal ring on the shaft to
lubricate it.
3. Reassemble according to assembly instructions and store.

1. The squirt guard may be removed and the screen scraped with a spatula
during processing, if necessary.
2. The squirt guard may also have to be removed when straining dry
ingredients such as beans or potatoes. They tend to get stuck between the
screen and the guard.
3. Do not force foods into the spiral. Guide them in with the food pusher. This
will help eliminate jamming and squirting.
Additional screens are available separately for use with the Food Strainer & Sauce
Maker.

and potatoes.
C. The Berry screen is the finest screen, used for removing small seeds from fruits
such as raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, etc.

length helps prevent jamming of seeds and skins from processing grapes.
