: The EASY CLEAN Feature is not a substitute to regular cleaning as described in
the Instruction Manual. The EASY CLEAN Feature should only be used to clean the
Blender between batches of the same food. When changing food types or when
finished blending altogether, the Blender should be disassembled and thoroughly
cleaned as indicated in the Instruction Manual.
It is especially important to
disassemble and thoroughly clean your Blender when processing
perishable foods such as milk, other dairy products, meats,
seafood and eggs.
