5.2 LONG-TERM SANITATION

2. Add one teaspoon of liquid chlorine bleach.
3. Stir for 10 seconds to mix water and bleach. Let mixture stand in blender pitcher

4. Empty water/bleach mixture. Turn pitcher up side down on dish rack until dry.
5.3 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender base or pitcher as this
will dull or scratch the surface. Cosmetic damage is not covered by warranty.
• NEVER submerge the blender motor in water. Avoid submerging blender pitchers
for more than 5 minutes. Water penetration through the lower pitcher seals will
reduce the life of the pitcher. After cleaning, we recommend the blender pitcher
be stored upright.
• BLENDER PITCHER IS DISHWASHER SAFE–TOP RACK ONLY! Extreme tempera-
tures damage the lower seal of the pitcher.
