Caring for the Blender
Cleaning Instructions
General Cleaning
Do not allow food residue to dry on any part of
the blender. Wash and rinse container, cutter unit
assembly, and base after each use, or whenever
it will not be used again within 1 hour, as follows:
1.
Remove the container from the base, and then
remove the cover. Add cleaning solution to the
container. Use a washing solution of hot water
(less than 115°F/46°C) and a nonsudsing
detergent. Use the recommended amount of
detergent.
2.
Scrub and flush out the container interior,
cover, and filler cap to remove food residue.
Empty container.
3.
Fill container

full with fresh washing solution
and place it on the base.
4.
Replace the cover on the container and run
the blender on HIGH (2) speed for 2 minutes.
5.
Repeat Step 3 using clean rinse water
(95°F/35°C).
6.
Wipe down the container, filler cap, and cover
with a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with
fresh washing solution.
7.
Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp
cloth or sponge. The base contains electrical
components; do not immerse. Do not use a
high-pressure washer or use a dishwasher to
clean the base.
Sanitizing
1.
Wash container as instructed in “General
cleaning.”
2.
Fill container with sanitizing solution (See
“Recommended Sanitizing Solution” below)
and place on base.
3.
Replace cover and filler cap and run on LOW (1)
speed for 2 minutes. Empty container.
4.
Wipe the container exterior with a soft cloth or
sponge dampened with sanitizing solution.
5.
Immerse the cover and filler cap in sanitizing
solution for 2 minutes.
6.
Remove any remaining moisture from cutter
assembly by placing empty container on base
and running on HIGH (2) speed for 2 seconds.
7.
When ready to use, rinse with clean water.
NOTE:
Do not rinse container, cover, or filler cap
after sanitizing.
Recommended Sanitizing Solution:
The sanitizing solution should consist of 1
tablespoon of household bleach per 1 gallon of
clean, cool water (60°F/16°C) mixed according
to the instructions on the bleach container. When
using a sanitizing solution other than that
recommended, the sanitizing solution concentration
should be tested using commercially available test
strips and should indicate a concentration between
100 and 200 parts per million of bleach to water.
