Keeping your Hamilton Beach 58160 Portable Blender clean ensures it continues to perform at its best. Here's a simple guide:
- Safety First: Always unplug the blender before cleaning.
- Disassembly: Detach the blender jar and travel jar from the base by rotating their respective collars counterclockwise. If applicable, remove the bowl from the base by rotating its collar clockwise.
- Base Cleaning: Wipe the blender base, control panel, and power cord with a damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser. Importantly, do not submerge the base in water or any other liquids. Also, wipe the motor shaft with a damp cloth.
- Component Cleaning: Wash the blender jar, travel jar, bowl, cutting blade assembly, chopping/mixing blade, and slicing/shredding disc with warm, soapy water. Alternatively, these parts are dishwasher-safe; however, avoid using the "SANI" setting, as it could potentially damage the components. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Exercise caution when handling the sharp blades.
- Easy Clean Feature (Jars): For the blender and travel jars, utilize the "EASY CLEAN" function. Add 2 cups (473 ml) of warm water and 1 drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar or 1 cup (237 ml) of warm water and 1 drop of liquid dish soap to the travel jar. Run the blender on the "EASY CLEAN" setting for 10 seconds. Discard the soapy water and rinse with fresh water.
Following these steps regularly will keep your Hamilton Beach 58160 Portable Blender clean and ready for use.
