Basic Cleaning & Care
Blades: These may be removed for cleaning. Blades are very sharp! Use
caution and hand protection. It is not recommended to wash blades in the
dishwasher. The heat, steam, and harsh detergents of an automatic dishwasher
will damage the ball bearings and remove the bearing lubrication. Carefully wash
the blade assembly by hand. Avoid letting it soak in soapy water.
Gasket: The rubber gasket may be removed for cleaning and is replaceable. We
recommend replacing the gasket at least once a year.
Lid: Wash the lid with gentle dishwashing liquid, a sponge, or a soft dishwashing
brush. Do not use any abrasive cleaning tools, copper sponges, steel wool,
bleach or other strong detergent products.
Pitcher / Funnel: Remove the blade assembly before washing in dishwasher.
The blender pitcher and funnel are dishwasher safe, but whenever possible
place them in the top rack.
Caution: Do not use any abrasive cleaning tools, copper sponges, steel wool,
bleach or other strong detergent products.
Motor base: Unplug the power cord. Use a damp cloth or sponge can be used
to clean the surface of the motor base. Clean the switches with a cloth, sponge,
or a gentle vegetable brush. Never immerse the motor base in water.
Basic Operation
First Time Cleaning
Clean the RPM Blender before the first use by adding 1-2 cups of warm water
and a few drops of your favorite liquid dishwashing detergent. Put lid and cap
in position and run at half speed for less than one minute. Remove and rinse
thoroughly in warm water. Your RPM Blender is now ready for use.
Variable Speed Control Knob
This is the knob above the ON/OFF toggle switch that runs your blender.
Turn it to the RIGHT to increase RPMs and blending power.
Turn it to the LEFT to decrease RPMs and reduce blending power.
IMPORTANT: If your blender does not start immediately, turn the variable speed
knob further to the RIGHT and make sure the toggle switch is in the ON position.
Hot Drink Instructions
Hot drinks and soups are wonderful when prepared in your blender. Since liquids
over 100º F (38º C) can scald skin and cause burns and blisters, please take the
following precautions:
