Caring for the Blender
Cleaning Instructions
General cleaning
Do not allow food residue to dry on any part of the
blender. Wash and rinse container, cutter unit
assembly and base after each use, or whenever it
will not be used again within one hour, as follows:
1. Remove the container from the base, and then
remove the cover. Add cleaning solution to the
container. Use a washing solution of hot water
(less than 115° F/46° C) and a non-sudsing
detergent. Use the recommended amount of
detergent.
2. Scrub and flush out the container interior,
cover and filler cap to remove food residue.
Empty container.
3. Fill container 1 ⁄

full with fresh washing solution
and place it on the base.
4. Replace the cover on the container and run the
blender on high speed for 2 minutes.
5. Repeat step 3 using clean rinse water
(95° F/35° C).
6. Wipe down the container, filler cap, and cover
with a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with fresh
washing solution.
7. Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp cloth
or sponge. The base contains electrical
components: do not immerse, use a
high-pressure washer, or use a dishwasher
to clean the base.
Sanitizing
1. Wash container as instructed in “General
Cleaning.”
2. Fill container with sanitizing solution (See
“Recommended Sanitizing Solution” below)
and place on base.
3. Replace cover and filler cap and run on LOW
speed for 2 minutes. Empty container.
4. Wipe the container exterior with a soft cloth or
sponge dampened with sanitizing solution.
5. Immerse the cover and filler cap in sanitizing
solution for two minutes.
6. Remove any remaining moisture from cutter
assembly by replacing container on base with
cover and filler cap in place. Then run blender
on HiGH speed for a minimum of 2 minutes.
7. To dry, place empty container on base and
run on HIGH speed for two seconds.
8. When ready to use, rinse with clean water.
NOTE: Do not rinse container, cover or filler cap
after sanitizing.
Recommended Sanitizing Solution:
The sanitizing solution should consist of 1
tablespoon of household bleach per 1 gallon of
clean, cool water (60° F, 16° C) mixed according
to the instructions on the bleach. When using a
sanitizing solution other than that recommended,
the sanitizing solution concentration should be
tested using commercially available test strips
and should indicate a concentration between
100 and 200 parts per million of bleach to water.
