1. 

Unplug. 

2. 

Twist blending jar counterclockwise to unlock. Pull up to remove 

jar. Turn blender jar upside down, so jar is on the bottom.

Wipe blender base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth 

or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive 

cleanser. 

4. 

Blade with collar are dishwasher-safe on top rack only. DO NOT 

use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” 

cycle temperatures could damage your product. Parts may also 

be washed with hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when 

handling the cutting blade assembly since it is very sharp. Rinse 

and dry thoroughly. Do not soak.

Hand wash the jar and lid in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry 

thoroughly. Do not soak. 

QUICK CLEANING:

Add 2 cups (473 ml) warm water and 1 drop of liquid dishwashing 

detergent to jar. Top with blade with collar. Place on base and pulse 

for 10 seconds. Discard soapy water. Rinse with clean, warm water.

•  Not enough liquid added to jar. For correct blending, you need 

to add 1/2 cup (118 ml) of liquid (milk, juice, yogurt). Blend with 

ingredients in correct order. Add frozen food or ice first so it will be 

at top when blending.

•  Blender has overheated. If blender stops working, unplug and allow 

15 minutes before using. Plug into outlet to start blending.

•  Pieces of ice or frozen fruits are stuck under the blade. Take jar off 

of the base and shake. Place on base and blend.
