CLEANING AND STORAGE
Keep your appliance ready for use on the kitchen counter.
When it is not being used, leave it unplugged.
Store blades in a convenient, safe place, out of children's reach as you would with sharp
knives.
The blending and grinding containers are dishwasher-safe (water temperature should not
exceed 104°F). Blades and lids should be hand-washed with warm water and a mild
detergent. To simplify cleaning, rinse blending/grinding containers and blades immediately
after each use so food does not dry on them.
Be careful when washing the blades by hand. Avoid leaving them in soapy water, where
they may disappear from sight.
The Blending/Grinding Container is made of Polycarbonate, which is a high impact-
resistant plastic. Its smooth surface will look new for years when properly maintained.
Keep a sponge handy as you work and wipe spills from the base. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on the base.
The rubber feet on the bottom of the motor base will keep the blender from moving on
most work surfaces when the machine is processing heavy loads. Clean the rubber feet
regularly. When the rubber feet are dirty, the machine can move on the counter. If feet
leave spots on the counter, spray the counter with spot remover and wipe with a damp
sponge. Repeat if necessary.
