jar can also be placed upside down in the dishwasher.
Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth to remove any residue, and dry
thoroughly. Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquid, or place in the
dishwasher.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
