CARE AND CLEANING
5.1 AFTER USE CLEANING
1. Add 1 cup of hot water and a drop of liquid dishwashing soap to the blender
jar.
2. Place the lid tightly onto the jar. Place the blender jar on the blender base,
and with your hand placed on top of the lid; press the pulse button for 5
seconds.
3. Rinse with clear water until all soap is rinsed from jar and lid.
4. Clean the blender base by simply wiping the base and touchpad with a
damp rag and water.
5.2 LONG-TERM SANITATION
1. For long-term sanitation, occasionally fill the blender jar half way with hot
water.
2. Add one teaspoon of liquid chlorine bleach.
3. Stir for 10 seconds to mix water and bleach. Let mixture stand in blender jar
for five minutes.
4. Empty water/bleach mixture and rinse the jar thoroughly to ensure that there
is no bleach mixture left in the jar. Turn jar RIGHT SIDE UP on dish rack
until dry.
5.3 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender base or jar as this
will dull or scratch the surface. Cosmetic damage is not covered by war-
ranty.
• NEVER submerge the blender motor in water. Avoid submerging blender jars
for more than 5 minutes. Water penetration through the lower jar seals will
reduce the life of the jar. After cleaning, we recommend the blender jar be
stored upright.
• BLENDER JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE - TOP RACK ONLY! Extreme tem-
peratures damage the lower seal to the jar.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
6.1 MAIN POINTS OF OPERATION
1. Turn on the main power switch located on the back of the blender motor in
the lower right corner.
2. Place the blender jar on the base, making sure the jar is secure. Attach the
blender lid. Hold the jar lid down with your hand if the jar is more than half
full.
3. Press the desired touch pad button once. You may press any button on the
lower row to stop the cycle.
4. When cycle is complete, remove the blender jar and serve.
6.2 AUTOMATIC CYCLE OPERATION
The Blendtec Total Blender has blending cycles for ice cream, frozen yogurt, ice
crushing, milkshakes, soups, syrups, fondues, sauces, dips, dressings, batters,
whole juice, and smoothies. These cycles have variable speed settings that will
change during the course of the cycle. This allows the blender to draw the con-
tents into the blending vortex, which creates the desired texture. The blender will
run its pre-programmed cycle and automatically shut off. If at any point you want
to stop the blender before it has completed its cycle press any lower row button.
Note: The speed buttons allow you to control the blender to operate up to 10
speed settings. Simply press the speed up button and the motor will begin.
Continue pressing the Speed Up key to increase the speed, or press the Speed
Down key at any time to decrease speed. Once you have reached the desired
speed release the button. Once you press a speed button, the blender will begin
to run at the selected speed, then shut off after 50 seconds. To stop the cycle
before the 50 seconds, press any button on the lower row.
