USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing that
requires disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a
qualified appliance repair technician.
CAUTION: Never immerse the Motor Housing, plug or cord in
water or any other liquid.
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing to
make cleanup easier.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when handling the Blade Assembly. Do
not touch the Blades with your fingers. The Blades are very sharp
and can cause injury if touched.
3. Wash the Glass Blending Jar, Lid, Measuring Cap and Blade
Assembly in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never
use rough scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on any plastic or
metal parts as the surface may be damaged. Do not wash any
parts in the dishwasher.
4. If necessary, wipe exterior surface with a moist cloth or sponge
and dry thoroughly.
5. Do not fill the Glass Blending Jar with boiling water or place any
of the parts in boiling water.
6. Do not allow the Blade Assembly to soak in water for long
periods of time.
7. For quick clean-ups, the interior of the Glass Blending Jar can be
cleaned by using the PULSE setting. Plug the Blender into an
electrical outlet and simply pour some warm water and a small
amount of detergent into the Glass Blending Jar. Turn the Control
Dial to (P) PULSE. Repeat for several short bursts. The unit will
clean itself, without you having to handle the sharp Blades.
Unplug the Blender, rinse and dry thoroughly, being careful as the
Blades are sharp.
8. Properly reassemble all parts before storing.
STORAGE
CAUTION: Always assemble clean and dry Blender parts correctly
before storing on the Motor Housing. Severe injury can result if
Blender is accidentally turned ON when not properly assembled.
Unplug and clean unit. Store in original box or in a clean, dry place.
Never store Blender while it is hot or plugged in. Never wrap cord
tightly around the appliance. Never place any stress on cord,
especially where the cord enters the unit, as this could cause the cord
to fray and break.
