Maintaining the cleanliness of your BLACK+DECKER Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar is crucial for its performance and longevity. Here's how to properly clean your blender: First, always ensure the blender is turned off and unplugged before cleaning. Carefully lift the blending jar by its handle, removing it from the base. Next, detach the jar base by twisting it counterclockwise until it loosens. Proceed to carefully remove the blade assembly, handling the blades with caution as they are sharp. Then, remove the lid. The removable parts, including the jar, lid, and blade assembly, can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. If using a dishwasher, place the glass jar on the bottom rack and other parts on the top rack only. For quick cleanup, you can use this method: Combine one cup of hot water and a drop of liquid dish soap in the blending jar. Secure the lid and blend on Speed 2 for approximately 30 seconds. Discard the soapy water and thoroughly rinse the jar. Important cleaning tips: Avoid placing any parts in boiling liquids. The blender base should not be immersed in any liquid; instead, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it completely. For stubborn stains or spots, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a damp cloth to gently rub the affected areas. Always reassemble the blender only after all parts are completely dry. Regular cleaning will keep your BLACK+DECKER Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar in optimal condition.
