after using.
Remove the blending shaft from the motor body. Clean the motor body

hot water using mild detergent.

To simplify cleaning, rinse the prep bowl, cover and blade immediately
after use, so that food won’t dry onto them. Wash blade ring,
plastic sheath, and prep bowl in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
