Cleaning the Blender

Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
Cleaning
The jar should be cleaned immediately
AFTER EACH USE. The jar can be cleaned
in the following manner:
1. Fill the jar half full with warm water,
122 degrees F (50 degrees C).
2. Add a drop of liquid detergent or
1
/
teaspoon of detergent powder.

3. Place the cover/filler cap on the jar and
blend on F cycle (factory set profile 5) for
30 seconds.
4. Turn the blender off, and then rinse
the jar and wipe down to dry. Do not
disassemble the cutter assembly.
5. Wash the jar cover/filler cap in warm,
soapy water. Rinse and let dry.
6. Unplug the blender.
7. Wipe down the blender base with a
damp cloth.
8. The optional Quiet Shield™ may be
placed in the dishwasher for cleaning,
however the high temperatures shorten
the life of the plastic. Handwashing in a
three tank system pot sink (wash, rinse,
sanitize) is recommended for the longest
life of these parts. It is recommended
that the shield be cleaned in the closed
position. The shield can also be easily
disassembled by hand for cleaning.

Cut Hazard
Always place cover on jar when
blending.
Do not put spoon or other utensils
in jar when blending.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in broken bones, cuts, or
other injuries.
Sanitizing
If the blender will not be used again within
1 hour, sanitize the container in the
following manner:
1. After washing the jar, fill it with a cold chlo-
rine-based sanitizing solution that
has a minimum chlorine concentration of
100 parts per million. See recommended
solution below.
2. Place the cover/filler cap on the jar and
blend on F cycle (factory set profile 5) for
a minimum of 2 minutes.
3. Empty the jar but do not rinse.
4. Dry the jar by placing it, with its cover
securely in place, on the blender base
and turn the blender on F cycle (factory
set profile 5) for 2 seconds.
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 com-
mercially available test strips and should
indicate a concentration between 100 and
200 parts per million of bleach to water.
