CLEANING AND STORING YOUR BLENDER

IMPORTANT: UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING, DO NOT IMMERSE THE BLENDER BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. Use a damp, soft sponge with mild detergent to clean the outside of the blender base. All parts except for the blender base are dishwasher-safe. Place sealing ring in bottom basket of dishwasher. You can also wash the parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.

EASY CLEAN

Note: Easy Clean is not a substitute for regular cleaning described above.

It is especially important to disassemble and thoroughly clean your blender when processing milk, dairy products, meats, seafood and eggs.

Pour 3 cups of warm water in the blender jar. Add 1 – 2 drops of liquid dishwashing detergent. Select Easy Clean or blend on lowest speed. Blend detergent for 10 – 15 seconds. Empty jar of soapy water into sink. Rinse jar thoroughly with clean water.

STORING YOUR BLENDER

After cleaning, reassemble blade to jar with sealing ring and jar bottom. Store blender with cover ajar to prevent container odor.
