Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is SHARP and may
cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured pour lid. Wash in warm,
soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly, or place in upper rack of dishwasher.
The blender jar must be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed and dried

Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth to remove any residue,
and dry thoroughly. Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquid,
or place in a dishwasher.

You may wish to clean your blender blade assembly as follows:
Squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar
