Always clean your Optimum 9400 Second Generation after each use for hygiene purposes and to ensure
its longevity. Leaving food in the blender is a health risk as bacteria can grow. It can also cause the
blending jug to stain. Bacteria and residual food acids can also damage the seals and shaft of the blades.
TO CLEAN THE BASE:
1.
Switch off and unplug the blender from the power outlet.
2.
Using a soft, damp cloth, wipe the surface of the blender's base. You can use a mild detergent to
remove dried food if required. Never immerse the motor base in water or other liquids.
3.
Use a dry soft cloth to thoroughly dry the blender.
TO CLEAN THE BLENDING JUG:
1.
After each use, rinse the blending jug thoroughly with warm soapy water (not hot).
2.
Place one or two drops of dish soap in the jug and fill it halfway with warm water.
3.
Secure the lid and mount on the base.
4.
Start the blender at LOW and slowly increase to level 5 speed.
5.
Run on level 5 for 10-60 seconds (depending on what was blended; thick contents take longer
to clean).
6.
Pour the contents out and rinse thoroughly.
7.
Turn the blending jug upside down and let air dry.
Remember:
The blending jug, blade assembly and lid assembly are all dishwasher safe (place on the top
shelf of the dishwasher only).
FOR A DEEP CLEAN, PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS MONTHLY OR AS NEEDED:
Place 2 cups of cool water and 2 cups of white vinegar into the blending jug and let them soak for
between 12 and 24 hours. Pour the contents out and rinse thoroughly. Then follow the appropriate
cleaning instructions above.
