Care and Cleaning w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid. 1. Unplug blender from electrical outlet. 2. Wipe blender base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive cleanser. 3. Carefully wash jar, cutting blade assembly, filler-cap, collar, and lid in hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when handling the cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not soak. These parts may also be washed in a dishwasher. 4. Store blender with lid ajar to prevent container odor. Blender Tips • To add foods when blender is operating, remove filler-cap from blender lid and add ingredients through the opening. • For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/236.6 ml). Add more liquid if food is not blending properly. • If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently. • Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables. • Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar. • Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or at any time. 9 840230700 ENv03.indd 9 6/28/13 9:59 AM
