CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Never immerse the motor base, plug or cord in water or any other liquid.
Always unplug the Personal Blender before cleaning.
Whenever possible, rinse attachments and accessories immediately after processing to make
cleanup easier.
Always handle blades using the blade collar.
CAUTION:
Use extreme care when handling blades. Do not touch the blades with your fingers.
The blades are very sharp and can cause injury if touched.
If necessary, use any small nylon bristle brush to remove processed food from the blade
and the blade area.
For quick clean-ups, fill processing cup one-quarter full with clean warm water.
Following the steps outlined in the “Making Smoothies or Dips” section, blend several times using first
the blending blade and then the grinding blade. Rinse thoroughly.
Remove cup rings after use to clean. Wash all lids and cup rings in warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION:
Never use rough scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on any plastic or metal parts
as the surface may be damaged.
Processing blades, processing cups and lids are all top-rack ONLY dishwasher safe.
IMPORTANT:
After dishwashing, always check to make sure the gasket seal in the base of the blade collar
is properly in place, as the heat from some dishwashers may cause them to become loose.
The motor base may be wiped with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly.
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER.
