Blender from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
The blender is made of corrosion-resistant parts that
are easy to clean. Before first use and after every
use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check

is SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to
remove blades from assembly.
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured
pour lid. Wash in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry
thoroughly, or place in upper rack of dishwasher. The
blender jar must be washed in warm, soapy water
and rinsed and dried thoroughly. The blender jar can
also be placed upside down in dishwasher.
Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth
to remove any residue, and dry thoroughly. Never
submerge the motor base in water or other liquid, or
place in a dishwasher.
Tip: You may wish to clean your blender blade
assembly as follows: Squirt a small amount of
dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and
fill halfway with warm water. Run on Low for 15
seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Rinse and
dry all parts thoroughly.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
DOs and DON’Ts
WHEN USING YOUR BLENDER
DO:
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the
same voltage as that stated on the bottom of the
blender motor base.
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and
dry surface.
• Always add liquid ingredients to the blender
jar first, then add remaining ingredients. This
will ensure that ingredients are uniformly
mixed.
• Cut most foods into cubes approximately ½ inch
(1.3 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) to achieve a more
uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no
larger than ½ inch (1.3 cm).
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid
ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured
pour lid after ingredients have been added.
• Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only
when the blender is turned off. Never use metal
utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar
or blade assembly.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender
with the cover on.
• Make sure removable blade assembly is tightly
attached to blender jar.
• Always remove blade assembly before cleaning.
• When scraping the blender jar with a spatula,
remove the food from the sides of the blender jar
and place food in the center of the blender jar,
over the blade assembly.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest,
bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure the
blender jar and blade assembly are completely
dry.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender
jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses
so the blades stop rotating between pulses.
