BLENDER BASICS
Cleaning and Care
Before using your jar for the first time (and each time after blending), follow these easy cleaning tips:
1. Add a cup (240 ml) of water and drop of dish soap to the jar.
2. Place the jar on the blender; press Clean cycle. If you don’t have a Clean cycle, Pulse for 10 seconds.
3. Remove and rinse.
To clean the motor base, simply wipe it off with a damp cloth or sponge.
Loading Your Jar
For perfect blends, always load your ingredients to the jar in this order:
1. Liquids (ex: water, juices, milk)
2. Soft solids (ex: peanut butter, bananas and other soft fruits, powders)
3. Hard, dense, or frozen items (ex: carrots, frozen strawberries, ice)
Loading your jar properly helps reduce cavitation, which occurs when a cavity
or pocket of air forms around the blade so food cannot be pulled into it.
