Cleaning and Maintenance
A brown-colored deposit can occur when the Versapers is used intensively or by superficial cleaning. To remove any deposit, best to soak the top set overnight in warm water with soda crystals. After soaking overnight, you can easily remove all deposit with a brush. The components of the Versapers can NOT be put in a dishwasher.
The black spots are caused by residual scraps in a damp place. Make sure your parts are dried properly after every cleaning. Soak the silicone parts overnight in hot water with soda crystals. Then you can brush or rub off the black spots. If this still fails, the silicone material is affected too much. You can then purchase an accessories set (http://versapers.com/accessories/spare-parts-set-2g.html) and replace the parts.
It is important to keep the silicone brushes clean. You can periodically take out these brushes, clean them and then slide them back. They are not installed permanently.
The brush has a tapered tip at the rear end. First take out the silicone tab on the bottom of the bowl and then use the back of the brush to remove the fibers from the outlet. Optionally a Chinese chopstick also works very well. When you cut long fibers shorter, it also becomes easier because less long fibers remain.
Clean the Versapers directly after use. It is easier for you and this way the acids of fruits have less influence on the plastic parts. Use the brush to keep the strainer clean. Because most vegetables and fruits are not fat, you can use just water for daily cleaning. Use only occasionally detergent and a soft sponge so the plastic parts last longer.
