After use
After use clean the blender as described in the "Maintenance/Cleaning" section below. Wrap the power
cord (5) around the cord wrap (7) and store the blender in a safe and dust-free place.
Maintenance / cleaning
It is recommended that you clean the blender before first use and immediately after each use so that no
remnants of food can set in the blender jug (3).
The quickest and easiest way to clean the blender jug (3) inside is to rinse it briefly under the tap and then
proceed as follows:
1. Fill the blender jug (3) with approx. 750ml water.
2. Add a few drops of washing-up liquid, close the lid and place the blender jug (3) on the motor unit.
3. Connect the power cord (5) mains plug to a wall outlet and move the rotary switch (4) to the "Ice
Crush/Clean" position several times.
4. Rinse the blender jug (3) out with plain water.
This will generally be sufficient to clean the cutting blades and the interior of the blender jug (3). If you
find it is not sufficient, proceed as described in the "Cleaning the blender jug manually" section below.
Risk of electric shock!
Always remove the mains plug from the socket before cleaning. Failure to do so could
cause an electric shock.
Do not pour or spray any liquids onto the motor unit (6) and do not immerse it in water
or other liquids. This could cause short circuits which could cause electric shocks or burns.
Warning about property damage
Do not use abrasive or astringent detergents or tools which could scratch the surface.
This could cause damage to the motor unit (6) housing.
Clean the motor unit (6), plastic parts and the power cord (5) with a dry or damp cloth.
The lid (2) and measuring cup (1) can be rinsed or cleaned in the dishwasher as normal.
