Care & Cleaning
Jug and lid
To avoid food drying on blades, jug and lid,
follow the below steps as soon as possible
after use:
•
Rinse most of the ingredients off the jug and
lid.
•
Add 500ml of warm water and 1–2 drops
of detergent and press the AUTO CLEAN
button.
•
Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash
separately in warm soapy water with a soft
cloth or bottle brush.
Sanitising
The recommended sanitising solution is
1½ teaspoons (7.5ml) of household bleach in
8 cups (2 litres) of clean, cool water, mixed
according to the recommended instructions
on the bleach container. To sanitise, follow
the below steps:
1. After performing the auto clean cycle
as per the instructions above, add half
(4 cups / 1L) of the recommended
sanitizing solution to the jug. Secure
the lid and inner lid and press AUTO
CLEAN to run a sanitising clean cycle.
2. Allow to stand for 1 minute,
then empty solution.
3. Soak lid, inner lid (also scraper spatula
and frozen dessert tamper if used) in the
remaining second half of the sanitising
solution mixture for 2 minutes.
4. Place the empty jug and lid back on
blender base and run on manual speed
MIX for 10-20 secs to remove any
excess moisture from the blade area.
5. Wipe the exterior of the lid, jug and
base with a soft cloth dampened
with the sanitising solution.
6. Do not rinse after sanitising. Allow
to air dry before storage. Rinse with
clean water prior to next use.
Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft,
damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any
excess food particles from the power cord.
Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
cleaners on either the motor base or the jug,
as they may scratch the surface. Use only
warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
Dishwasher
The blender jug and lid can be washed in
the dishwasher on a standard wash cycle.
Jug can be placed on the bottom shelf,
however the lid and inner lid should be on
the top shelf only.
Stubborn food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic and
fish, and some vegetables such as carrots,
may leave an odour or stain.
To remove, clean the jug and lid using
the AUTO CLEAN instructions. Add
2 tablespoons bicarbonate of soda and
½ cup (125ml) vinegar into jug and let
the mixture froth for 1 minute. Scrub the
jug and lid with the mixture using a soft
dishwashing brush. Add 2 cups warm water
and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Attach jug
to blender base. Secure lid and then press
the AUTO CLEAN button. Thoroughly rinse
the jug, and allow to air dry. Store jug and lid
with the lid off to allow air to circulate.
Dry milling
Milling hard ingredients like spices,
nuts, sugar, coffee, grains, etc will cause
scratching and clouding to the inside
surfaces of the jug.
Some spices and herbs release aromatic
oils that may discolour the jug or leave an
aroma.
These are cosmetic results from milling
these kinds of ingredients, and does not
affect the performance of the jug.
