Disassembling the blender jug and removing stubborn residues
waRNiNg:
The blade is very sharp! Do not touch the blade. To handle the blade, always
hold on to the blade assembly housing.
1.
Remove the blender jug off the motor block and hold it over the sink or a large bowl. Turn
the blender jug upside-down. The underside of the knife unit is now up. Grasp with the left
hand the handle of the blender jug and with the right hand the plastic holder of the knife unit.
Remove the knife unit by turning it counter-clockwise. Take the knife unit off the blender jug.
attENtioN:
The blender jug might be connected really tight to the holder. Do not use force
unscrewing it.
2.
Rinse all parts in warm soapy water. Soak stubborn residues for a few minutes and then
remove them using a nylon washing brush or sponge. Do not cut yourself. Beware not to dam-
age the silicone seal. If you can not get the sealing ring clean or if it is porous or damaged
you have to replace it. Contact your vendor for replacement parts.
3.
After cleaning rinse all parts with clear water and dry them carefully. You can also leave
all parts dry naturally where they are out of reach of young children. When the parts are dry
assemble the blender jug for storage or usage.
