Care and Cleaning
The blender pitcher and blade can be
easily cleaned without disassembly.
• Clean the blender thoroughly after every
use.
• Do not immerse the blender base or
cord in water.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads.
1. To clean the blade, place the pitcher on
the blender base, fill one-half full with
warm (not hot) water, and add 1 or 2
drops of dishwashing liquid. Place the
lid on the pitcher, press the LOW speed
setting, and run the blender for 5 to
10 seconds. Remove the pitcher and
empty contents. Rinse the pitcher with
warm water until clean. The pitcher can
also be washed in the bottom rack of
an automatic dishwasher.
2. To clean the lid and ingredient cap,
wash in warm soapy water, then rinse
and dry thoroughly. These parts can
also be washed in the top rack of an
automatic dishwasher. For best results,
hand washing is recommended.
3. Wipe the blender base and cord with
a warm, sudsy cloth; wipe clean with a
damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth.
For storage, the cord can be coiled
into the cord-wrap on the bottom of
the base.
Troubleshooting
• If the blender does not operate
when a setting is selected:
– Check to see if the blender is plugged
into a grounded 3 prong outlet. If it
is, press OFF, then unplug the blender.
Plug it back in to the same outlet. If the
blender still does not work, check the
fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical
circuit the blender is connected to and
make sure the circuit is closed.
• If the blender slows excessively
when blending heavy ingredients:
– The blender may be overloaded. Press
OFF to stop the blender. Remove the
pitcher from the base and divide the
pitcher contents into smaller batches.
Adding liquid to the pitcher may also
reduce the load on the blender.
• If the blade stops spinning:
– Blender ingredients or a foreign object
may have jammed the blender. Press OFF
to stop the blender. Remove the pitcher
from the base and free the blade by
breaking-up or removing the contents
at the bottom of the pitcher.
