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 two, one-touch timed cycles: one
60-second and one 90-second� These cycles free your hands for other kitchen
tasks and are ideal for recipes that require longer blending times, such as hot
soups or bread dough�

2� Add one to two teaspoons (5-10 ml) of liquid chlorine bleach to the jar�
3� Stir for 10 seconds to mix water and bleach� Let mixture stand in the blender jar for
five minutes�
4� Empty water/bleach mixture� Turn the jar upside down on a dish rack until dry�
6.3 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not use stiff bristled brushes or abrasive cloths/pads to clean the blender
base or jar, as this will dull or scratch the surface�
• NEVER submerge the blender motor in water� Avoid submerging blender jars 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�
• BLENDER JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE—TOP RACK ONLY! Extreme temperatures
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 used or exposed to
temperatures above boiling (100°C, 212°F)�
