Cuisinart CPB-300 manual Cleaning And Maintenance, Troubleshooting

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart® SmartPower® Portable Compact Blender from the electrical outlet before cleaning. The base and parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials that are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before reassembly. DO NOT USE if any part is damaged, or if the jar or cups are chipped or cracked.

To remove blade assemblies, twist off by turning counterclockwise.

NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF.

CAUTION: Handle the blade assemblies carefully. They are SHARP and may cause injury. DO NOT attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.

Wash all parts in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. All parts are top rack dishwasher safe.

Tip: You may wish to clean your blending and chopper cutting assemblies

as follows: squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into blender jar or cups and fill halfway with warm water. Attach blade assembly. Run on Low for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Carefully disassemble parts and empty blender jar or cups. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.

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 liquids, or place in a dishwasher.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
