Maintaining your Waring TBB160P6 blender's performance requires regular cleaning. Here's a step-by-step guide based on the manufacturer's instructions:

1. Begin by removing the blending container from the motor base and taking off the lid.
2. Rinse the container's inside and the lid under running water.
3. Add a non-sudsing washing solution to the container. Scrub the inside and the lid to remove any food residue, then empty the container.
4. Wipe the outside of the container with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with the washing solution.
5. Wash the lid and its insert in a fresh washing solution.
6. Fill the container about a quarter full with fresh washing solution. Secure the lid, place the container on the motor base, and run the blender on the HI speed setting for two minutes. Then, empty the container.
7. Repeat step 6, but this time, use clean rinse water instead of the washing solution.
8. Wipe the exterior of the container with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with a sanitizing solution.
9. Fill the container with sanitizing solution, secure the lid, place the container on the motor base, and run on HI speed for one minute. Then, empty the container.
10. To remove any remaining moisture from the blade assembly, place the empty container on the motor base and run on HI speed for two seconds.
11. Sanitize the lid and lid insert by immersing them in a sanitizing solution for two minutes.
12. Allow the container, lid, and insert to air dry without rinsing.

Important notes: The washing solution should consist of non-sudsing detergents. The sanitizing solution should have a minimum chlorine concentration of 100 PPM. Always adhere to the dilution and temperature guidelines provided in your Waring TBB160P6's manual to ensure proper cleaning and sanitation.
