JARS

How to use and load your jar

  1. How to load your jar. First, place or pour your liquids and high moisture foods in the jar. Next, add your softer foods. Finally, put ice and solid items in last at top.
  2. Make sure the lid is on securely. The lids are designed for a very snug fit. Even if the lid seems like it’s on tightly, it’s a good idea to give the corners a little extra help and push them down once more before blending.
  3. Place the blender jar on the blender base, making sure the drive shaft is seated completely in the drive socket of motor base.

Cleaning tips and cautions

  • Do not use stiff-bristled brushes or abrasive cloths or pads to clean the jar. This will dull or scratch the surface.
  • Avoid submerging blender jars for longer than 5 minutes as it may reduce jar life and result in water penetrating the lower jar seals. After cleaning, store the jar upright.
  • BLENDER JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE

    • You can safely clean your blender JAR in the dishwasher, but it's important to take some precautions. While the top rack is the recommended location during a cleaning cycle, large jars may not fit there in most dishwashers. In that case, you can put the JAR on the bottom rack, but make sure not to wedge it too tightly between the dishwasher tines. If you do, the heat may cause the JAR to expand or contract slightly, leading to a poor lid fit that is not covered by warranty. Also, avoid using the heated dry function when placing the JAR on the bottom rack for best results.

    • When cleaning the lid and clear plastic insert, always place them on the top rack to avoid warping from the heat. If they are placed on the bottom rack, they will not be covered by the warranty if they warp.

  • Do not expose your jar to temperatures over 176°F (80°C). Ingredient temperatures should not exceed 115°F (46°C). Please note that boiling water is too hot for the jar and should never be used.

BLENDERS

How to set up your blender

  1. Place blender on a flat, clean, and dry surface.
  2. Make sure a power outlet is available within two feet of the blender motor.
  3. Make certain that the blender vents at the bottom of the unit are unobstructed to allow proper cooling.

 

How to clean your blender

  1. Turn off the power and unplug motor.
  2. Clean the blender base by simply wiping the base and touchpad/screen with a damp cloth. If needed, the drive socket can be cleaned using a toothpick or cotton swab.
  3. Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender base. This will dull or scratch the surface, and cosmetic damage is not covered by the warranty.
  4. Do not use a water jet of any kind to clean the blender base. NEVER submerge the blender motor in water—this will void your warranty.
