Care and Cleaning of
Blender
All components of the blender, except the
blade/base assembly, are dishwasher safe.
It is recommended that the blade/base
assembly be cleaned only under flowing
water rather than in the dishwasher. Soap
and detergent will tend to wash out the
bearing lubricant of the blade/base
assembly. Do not use scouring cleaners on
any of the blender parts.
Wash the blade/base assembly under
running water. Do not place the blade/base
assembly in the dishwasher or allow it to
stand in water. This will tend to wash out the
lubricant. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly
and dry before using.
The power unit of the kitchen machine
should be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth
only. Never use coarse or caustic cleaning
products to clean this appliance. Never
immerse the power unit in water.

Tips
The blender should be operated with careful
consideration as to what is required and/or
desired. The speed at which the blender is
operated and the length of operation for a
given job will depend upon the degree of
fineness desired or the amount being
blended.
When the blender is being used on dry
materials, such as nuts or dry bread,
the best results will be obtained when the
blender jar is filled with approximately
1
/
cup of material to be blended.

If the blender does not start (even after
trying the highest speed) and it is humming
or not functioning at all, the blade has
become blocked by the contents. Try to
switch to the "M" position to unlock the
blades. If this does not unlock the blades
refer to troubleshooting section.
