Cleaning
The Blade is SHARP! CAREFULLY release the blade from the bottom of the jar
by turning the threaded jar bottom counterclockwise. The jar lid, filler cap and
blade are dishwasher safe. Use the top rack of the dishwasher for the jar lid, filler
cap, and blade. Place sealing ring into bottom basket of dishwasher.
You can also wash the parts in warm, soapy water.
Rinse well and dry. Wipe the base with a soft, damp
cloth to clean. Never submerge the blender base in a
liquid.
Check the parts as you put them back together.
TIP: Run blender with soapy water for 20-30 seconds
for cleaning without disassembly. Follow with clean
water rinse.
Storing
Reassemble the blender for storage. Leave the lid open a gap so no odors are
retained.

oven. Never store foods or drinks in the jar.
