3 Turn the jug to align
the jug and base off the motor unit.
4 Remove the lid and cap or stirrer.
Caution
- take great care when handling the blade unit.
5 Remove the blade unit from the base before removing the base from the jug.
6 Turn the jug upside down, so you can see the underside of the blade unit.
7 Hold the jug handle with one hand, hold the underside of the blade unit with the other
hand, and turn the blade unit clockwise to release it – it's quite stiff.
8 Carefully lift the blade unit out of the jug.
Keep hold of the jug handle – grip the jug base, and turn it anti-clockwise to release.

Unscrew the lever and its retaining ring from the tap – this takes about 2½ turns.

13 Wash the cap, lid, stirrer, tap parts, jug, blade unit, and seal in warm soapy water, and
leave them to drain dry.
Don't use a cloth for drying. You may leave lint on the inside surfaces, and you'll
14
probably cut yourself on the blades.
15 Use a bottle brush on the hole in the jug that the tap fits into.
16 Your bottle-brush may also come in handy when cleaning the inside of the tap.
If you've left it too long before cleaning, and bits have glued themselves to the inside of
17
the jug, use a nylon brush. If that doesn't work, crush some ice cubes in it – that'll shift
anything.
Don't put any part of the smoothie maker in a dishwasher.

19 The extreme environment inside the dishwasher can affect the surface finishes.
20 Wipe the outside of the motor unit with a clean damp cloth.
Don't put the motor unit in water or any other liquid.
