    Nice machine

    Treat her well.. take her out for a nice meal and keep her warm next to your bed

    I'm not lucky enough to own one but a good few on here do so they will be able to offer care advice

    If all else fails read the companys instuctions on maintanance but a good wipe over at the end of the day is a good starting point

    Keep it clean and use common sense and it will last. Apparently, there is no need to lubricate bearings etc., so just enjoy using it .

    Great machine Ross - it's a lot of dosh but you will very soon come to the decision that it was money well spent

    The bearings, etc. will not need any lubrication, so really it will be just down to keeping it clean and the tray well washed out after every use.

    I tend to lay the tray on the ground and give it a good was down and blast with a hose pipe.

    With regards to the cutter itself, a damp sponge and wipe down at the end of the day will suffice, making sure not to get any water into the motor

    I would agree with the above, but would also flush out the pump with clean water at the end of every day
