Care And Cleaning - Blendtec COMMERCIAL Series Owner's Manual And User's Manual

SECTION 4
CARE & CLEANING
4.1 CLEANING AFTER USE
1. Add 1 cup (240 ml) warm water and 1-2 drops of liquid dish
soap to the blender jar.
2. Place the lid tightly onto the jar, place the jar on the motor
base and press and hold the pulse button for 5-10 seconds.
3. Remove and rinse with warm water.
4.2 LONG-TERM SANITATION
1. Sanitize the jar per local code by filling the blender jar with
a sanitizer diluted to the manufacturer's specifications.
2. Leave the diluted sanitizer in the jar for five minutes.
3. Empty the sanitizer from the jar.
4. Rinse jar thoroughly with water.
4.3 MOTOR BASE AND SOUND ENCLOSURE CLEANING
• Ensure the blender is unplugged before cleaning.
• Wipe down the plastic housing of the motor base, gaskets,
metal top and sound enclosure with a clean, damp rag. A mild,
all-purpose, nonabrasive cleaner may be used.
• The drive socket can be cleaned using a cotton swab or toothpick.
• For Stealth and Connoisseur blender models, the sound enclosure
can be removed for cleaning, when necessary.
• For Stealth models, open the sound enclosure lid and use
both hands to pull outward on the lid at the pivot joints.
This step will flex the plastic enough for it to clear its
hinges on the sound enclosure base. The sound enclosure
base can be removed by pulling outward at the bottom of
the sound enclosure and flexing the outer walls to clear the
mounting tabs on the motor housing.
• For Connoisseur models, open the sound enclosure lid and
lift up to remove the lid. The sound enclosure base can
be removed once the motor housing is removed from the
base of the counter top. For above counter models, remove
the motor housing from the stand by removing the base
plate and lifting out the motor housing. For in-counter
models, remove the motor housing from the counter and
remove the sound enclosure base.
4.4 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not use stiff bristled brushes or abrasive cloths/pads to
clean the blender base, jar or sound enclosure as this will dull
or scratch the surface.
• Do not use a water jet of any kind to clean the motor base.
• NEVER submerge the motor base in water. Doing so will void
the warranty.
