Maintenance
Inspect the blender and its various parts and replace as follows:
Daily
Unplug the blender, remove the container from the base, and then inspect the
container and cutter assembly for wear, nicks, and broken or loose blades. If the blades
are nicked, broken, or loose, discontinue use immediately and replace the container or
cutter assembly. See "Replacement Parts."
Weekly
Unplug the blender, and then inspect the power cord insulation and power plug for
cracks. Refer to "Technical Services" for repair or replacement. Remove jar from
blender base. Inspect the cutter by rotating the drive end of the cutter by hand. It
should turn smoothly. If it does not, replace the container or cutter assembly.
