CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart® Premium 2 in 1 Blender from the electrical outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of corrosion-resistant parts which are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before reassembly. If any part is damaged or blender jar is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting straight up and away. Twist off the locking ring with cutting assembly by turning counterclockwise.

Remove the rubber gasket. Wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

Place the locking ring in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in warm water. Disassemble dispenser tap from locking ring (see diagram and instructions at right).
