CLEANING THE BLENDER
Always ensure that the power cord is
unplugged from the wall outlet before
cleaning, disassembling or assembling
and storing the appliance. Pull the Safety
Locking Arm downwards and over the
grooves on either side of the Blender Jug
base.
1. Immediately after each use, wash the
Lid, Inner Lid, Blender Jug, Removable
Silicon Gasket and Removable Blade
Assembly (see Disassembling the
Blender, page 37) in warm, soapy water
with a soft cloth. To remove strong
odors, for example, from garlic, fish and
some vegetables, soak the disassembled
parts for 10 minutes in warm soapy
water. Then wash with a mild detergent
and a cleaning brush. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Alternatively:
• Immediately fill the Blender Jug halfway
with warm (not hot) water and add 1-2
drops of dishwashing liquid. Place the
Blender Jug on the Motor Base. Select
speed 1/MIX and run the Blender for
10-20 seconds. Remove the Blender
Jug and discard the contents. Rinse the
Blender Jug with warm water until clean.
Dry thoroughly.
OR
• Immediately place these parts in the
dishwasher on a normal cycle. Remove
the Blade Assembly with the Silicon
Gasket still in place, from the Blender
Jug. Disassemble the Silicon Gasket
from the Blade Assembly and place both
parts on the top shelf of the dishwasher
with the Lid and Inner Lid. The Blender
Jug should be turned upside down
(with the jug spout facing downwards)
to prevent the dishwasher’s heating
element from damaging the Blender Jug
base.
WARNING
Be careful when handling the blending
blades as they are sharp. Mishandling
of the blades may cause injury.
2. Wipe the Motor base with a soft damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when
cleaning the Motor Base as these may
scratch the surface. Wipe any excess
food particles from the power cord.
