CLEANING
1. Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the appliance.

3. Remove jar base by turning it counterclockwise until loose.
4. Remove the gasket and the blade assembly.
Caution: Blades are sharp, handle carefully.
5. Remove lid and lid cap.
6. Wash removable parts by hand or in the dishwasher. Place the jar on the

Helpful Tip:
• For quick clean-up, combine 1 cup hot water and a drop of liquid dish soap
to the blender jar.
• Cover and blend on STIR for about 30 seconds.
• Discard liquid and rinse thoroughly.
Important:
• Do not place the jar parts in boiling liquids.
• Do not immerse the base in liquid. Wipe the unit base with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Remove stubborn spots by rubbing with a damp cloth and nonabrasive
cleaner.
Note: If liquids spill onto the power base, wipe with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on parts or finish.
