User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance and contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing
requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance
repair technician.
Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Never immerse the Motor Housing, plug or cord in water
or any other liquid.
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing to
make cleanup easier.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when handling the Blade Assembly. Do
not touch the Blades with your fingers. The Blades are very
sharp and can cause injury if touched.
3. Wash the Blending Jar, Lid, Measuring Cap and Blade Assembly in
warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never use rough
scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on any plastic or metal parts as
the surface may be damaged. Do not wash the Lid, Measuring Cap
and Blade Assembly in the dishwasher.
4. If necessary, wipe exterior surface with a moist cloth or sponge
and dry thoroughly.
5. Do not fill the Blending Jar with boiling water or place any of the
parts in boiling water.
6. Do not allow the Blade Assembly to soak in water for long periods
of time.
7. For quick clean-ups, the interior of the Blending Jar can be
cleaned by using the PULSE setting. Plug the Blender into an
electrical outlet and simply pour some warm water and a small
amount of detergent into the Blending Jar. Press the PULSE Button.
Repeat for several short bursts. The unit will clean itself, without
you having to handle the sharp Blades. Unplug the Blender, rinse
and dry thoroughly, being careful as the Blades are sharp.
8. Properly reassemble all parts before storing.
Storage Instructions
CAUTION: Always assemble clean and dry Blender parts correctly
before storing on the Motor Housing. Severe injury can result if
Blender is accidentally turned ON when not properly assembled.
Unplug and clean unit. Store in original box or in a clean, dry place.
Never store Blender while it is hot or plugged in. Never wrap cord
tightly around the appliance. Never place any stress on cord,
especially where the cord enters the unit, as this could cause the cord
to fray and break.
