How do I properly clean my Cuisinart CBT-1500P1 Hurricane Blender?

[BrynleeAnn]

Maintaining your Cuisinart CBT-1500P1 Hurricane Blender's performance requires regular cleaning. Here's how to do it safely and effectively: First, always unplug the blender from the power outlet. Detach the blender jar from the base, and remove the lid and measuring cup. Wash these parts, plus the jar itself, with warm, soapy water. Alternatively, you can put them in the dishwasher, ideally on the top rack. Wipe the blender's motor base with a damp cloth to remove any spills or residue; ensure it's completely dry before you use the blender again. Never submerge the motor base in water or put it in the dishwasher. For a deeper clean of the blade assembly, add a small amount of dish soap and 24 ounces of warm water to the assembled blender jar. Run the blender on low for 15 seconds, then repeat with clean water. Empty the jar. Before reassembling, inspect all parts. If any are damaged or if the jar is chipped or cracked, discontinue use. For any required servicing, contact an authorized service representative. Following these steps will help keep your Cuisinart CBT-1500P1 Hurricane Blender in top shape and ready for your next blend.
