Maintenance and Cleaning cont.
Blender
•
You can use the frozen drink mode to clean the Blender Jar
by placing two cups of warm water in the Jar with a drop of
dishwashing detergent. Let the Blender run for the full cycle.
Rinse and repeat if necessary.
•
If food is stuck to the Blade Assembly, you can remove it from
the Blender Jar for cleaning. The Filler Cap also acts as a Blade
Assembly removal tool. Turn the Blender upside down and place
the open end of the Filler Cap over the center of the blade. Make
sure no moisture comes into contact with the appliance’s electrical
parts. Turn the Filler Cap clockwise about one-half inch until it
stops turning. Remove the Blade Assembly by grasping the
white Accessory Shaft and lifting out of the Jug. Angle the
Blade Assembly to remove.
•
To replace the Blade Assembly, ensure that the Silicone Gasket is
properly placed over the Blade Assembly. Line up the four cutouts
on the Blade Assembly with the four tabs on the Blender Jug. Use
the Filler Cap to lock the blade into place by turning counter
clockwise about a half inch until it stops.
•
The Blender Jug with Blade Assembly, Lid and Filler Cap can be
washed in warm, soapy water or placed in the top rack of the
dishwasher.

clean these parts with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. These
parts can also be placed in the top rack of your dishwasher.
