the container.
2. Snap or push the complete 2-part lid into locked position.
3. Select Variable 1. Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
4. Run the machine on High speed for 30 to 60 seconds.
5. Turn the machine off, rinse and drain the container.
To Sanitize:

2. Fill the container half full with water and 1 1/2 teaspoons liquid bleach.
3. Snap or push the complete 2-part lid into locked position.
4. Select Variable 1. Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
5. Run the machine on High speed for 30 to 60 seconds.

7. Pour bleach mixture out. Allow container to air dry.
8. Do not rinse after sanitizing.
Lid And Lid Plug:
Separate the lid and lid plug. Wash in warm soapy water. Rinse clean under running water, and dry.
Reassemble before use.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued and effective performance, do not put the container, lid or lid plug in
the dishwasher.
Motor Base:
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Wash the outside surface with a damp soft cloth or sponge, which has been rinsed in a mild solution of
liquid detergent and warm water. Do not place the motor base in water.
3. The centering pad can be removed for more thorough cleaning.
4. Thoroughly clean the switches so they work freely. They may become sticky from use. Use a moistened
cotton swab to clean the grooves around the water shielded switches. Immediately dry any excess water.
