drinks that frequently use dense or frozen ingredients� It slows down and speeds
up automatically during the course of the cycle� This allows the blender to draw
the ingredients into the blending vortex, creating the desired texture�
ONE-TOUCH TIMED CYCLES
The Classic 575 comes equipped with 2 one-touch timed cycles: a
60-second one and a 90-second one� These cycles free your hands for
other kitchen tasks and are ideal for recipes that require longer blending
times, such as hot soup or bread dough�

jar for 5 minutes�
4� Empty the water/bleach mixture and leave the jar upside down on a dish rack until dry�
6.3 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
1� DO NOT use stiff bristled brushes or abrasive cloths/pads to clean the blender motor
base or jar, as this will dull or scratch the surface�
2� NEVER submerge the blender motor base in water� Avoid submerging the blender jar
for more than 5 minutes� Water penetration through the lower jar seals will reduce the
life of the jar� After cleaning, we recommend the blender jar be stored upright�
3� THE BLENDER JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE (TOP RACK ONLY)!
4� Extreme temperatures will damage the lower seal of the jar� We recommend hand
washing to prolong the life of the blender jar� We do not recommend the jar be
exposed to temperatures above boiling (212°F or 100°C)�
