CAre AND CLeANING OF YOUr Oster® BLeNDer
Blender container parts are corrosion resistant, sanitary and easily cleaned. Before first use
and after every use, separate container parts and clean thoroughly in warm, soapy water then
rinse and dry well.
Periodically check all parts before re-assembly. If the processing blades are stuck or difficult to
turn, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Check by carefully turning the blades in an anti-clockwise
direction (opposite edges are sharp). Blades should turn freely.
If the container is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Further use could result
in the container breaking during use. Use only OSTER
parts available at an Authorized Service Center.
USE OF DAMAGED OR NON-RECOMMENDED PARTS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE BLENDER. See Page 4 for proper
container assembly and user instructions.

cloth (unplug first). The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require any additional
lubrication. ANY SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE
FACILITY.
