WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or
base in any liquid.
1. Unplug.
2. Twist blending jar counterclockwise to unlock. Pull up to remove
jar. Turn blender jar upside down, so jar is on the bottom.
Twist the collar counterclockwise to remove the cutting blade
assembly.
3. Wipe blender base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth
or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive
cleanser.
4. Blade with collar are dishwasher-safe on top rack only. DO NOT
use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI”
cycle temperatures could damage your product. Parts may also
be washed with hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when
handling the cutting blade assembly since it is very sharp. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. Do not soak.
5. Hand wash the jar and lid in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not soak.
QUICK CLEANING:
Add 2 cups (473 ml) warm water and 1 drop of liquid dishwashing
detergent to jar. Top with blade with collar. Place on base and pulse
for 10 seconds. Discard soapy water. Rinse with clean, warm water.

• Tighten cutting blade assembly with collar on jar.
• Make sure gasket is not damaged. If damaged, please call our toll-
free customer service number to order a replacement part.
Does not blend well.
• Not enough liquid added to jar. For correct blending, you need
to add 1/2 cup (118 ml) of liquid (milk, juice, yogurt). Blend with
ingredients in correct order. Add frozen food or ice first so it will be
at top when blending.
Blender will not blend.
• Blender has overheated. If blender stops working, unplug and allow
15 minutes before using. Plug into outlet to start blending.
• Pieces of ice or frozen fruits are stuck under the blade. Take jar off
of the base and shake. Place on base and blend.
