Keeping your blender clean ensures both hygiene and longevity. Here’s how to effectively clean the jug and container of your appliance. Always consult your specific blender's manual for detailed instructions.
For a quick clean:
- Jug Cleaning: Empty the jug. Fill it with water, and secure the lid with the stopper in place. Put the jug on the blender base, plug it in, and pulse the power switch a few times. Rinse the jug thoroughly.
- Container Cleaning: Empty the container. Fill it with water and attach the blade assembly. Place the container on the base, plug in the blender, and pulse the power switch a few times. Rinse the container well.
For a more thorough cleaning:
- Disassemble the blender components, including the lid, stopper, jug, and container. Wash these parts with warm water and a small amount of dish soap using a brush. Rinse them under running water.
- Exercise extreme caution when cleaning the blades, as they are very sharp. Avoid fully submerging the blade assembly in water for extended periods.
- Wipe the blender base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the base in water or run it under the tap.
Important Reminders: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, cleaning powders, acetone, or alcohol to clean your blender. Consistent cleaning after each use helps maintain both hygiene and the appliance's lifespan.
