1.
CLEANING THE MOTOR IS IMPORTANT!
The
inside cavity of the motor must be cleaned every
two weeks or the warranty will be voided!
2. Turn the bowl over and remove the motor from its
cavity by slipping your finger into the indentation
behind the motor (Fig. 8A) and pulling that end of
the motor out toward you so that it has turned a
quarter of a turn (Fig. 8B).
3. Now that the motor is unlocked, it may be pulled
away from the bowl. If you find that difficult,
you can push it out from the bowl side. (NOTE:
To make removal easier, place a light coat of
petroleum jelly around the rubber O-ring before
reinstalling).
4. Carefully lift the white impeller out of the motor.
Remove any hair tangled around it and wash it
with the rest of the parts.
5. Pour soapy water down into the inner cavity of
the motor and scrub with a small round bristle
brush or cotton swab. Rinse well and replace the
impeller after it is cleaned.
MOTOR:
1. Turn the bowl over. Reattach the motor by pushing the threads of the motor
through its hole in the bowl. The motor goes in at a right angle to the bowl (as
it was when you pulled it out to remove it, Fig. 8B). In order for the motor to
screw or turn into place, the threads must be pushed past the threads of the
bowl. If you cannot turn the motor into its resting position, it is not pushed into
the hole as far as it will go.
