Blender Tips
• Cut food into small 2'' pieces (about 5 cm.)
before adding to the Blender. To chop and
grate, cut solid foods into 1'' (2 cm.) pieces.
• When blending liquids, including the addi-
tion of ice cubes, limit quantity to the 4 cup
(1 lt.) mark of the Jar.
• The following items should never be placed in
the unit as they may cause damage: dried spices
and herbs (ground alone), bones, large pieces
of solidly frozen foods, hard or tough foods.
• For fast and easy ice crushing, add 1 cup of liq-
uid to the Jar, add up to 4 large ice cubes.
Cover holding one hand firmly on the Lid; use
the Pulse button to chop. If more ice is need-
ed, add cubes one by one through the hole in
the Lid and increase to the highest speed.
How to Clean
Your Blender
1. Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the
Blender.
2. Rinse parts immediately after blending to
ease cleanup.
3. Wipe the Base with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Remove stubborn spots by rub-
bing with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive
cleaner. Do not immerse the Base in liquid.
4. Wash the Jar and the Lid with soap and water.
Only jars on the IB10G, IB12G, IB53G,
IB54G, and IB73G are dishwasher-safe.
5. Removable parts can be washed by hand
or in a dishwasher. The Lid, Lid Cap, and
Blade Assembly should be placed in the
top rack only. Do not place jars or parts in
boiling liquids.
6. If liquids spill into the Base, wipe the Base
clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
7. Do not use rough scouring pads or
cleansers on parts or finish.
