Section 6: Care And Cleaning - Blendtec CLASSIC Series Owner's Manual And User's Manual

PULSE
The Pulse function is used for chopping, mincing, whipping, or other momentary
tasks that do not require a long blend cycle. You can also Pulse
blend before serving.
The Pulse setting runs at speed 7 and will only run while the Pulse
pressed. When the icon is released, the motor shuts off.

SECTION 6: CARE AND CLEANING

6.1 CLEANING AFTER USE
1. Add 1 cup (240ml) of hot water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar.
2. Place the lid tightly onto the jar.
3. Place the jar on the blender base and, with your hand placed on top of the lid, press
the Pulse button for 5 seconds or press the Clean cycle button, which is available on
select models.
4. Rinse well.
5. Clean the blender base by simply wiping the base and interface with a damp cloth.
6.2 LONG-TERM SANITATION
1. For long-term sanitation, fill the blender jar with hot water.
2. Add one to two teaspoons (5-10ml) of liquid chlorine bleach to the jar.
3. Stir for 10 seconds to mix water and bleach. Let mixture stand in blender jar for
five minutes.
4. Empty water/bleach mixture. Turn jar upside-down on 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 base or
jar, as this will dull or scratch the surface.
2. 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.
3. BLENDER JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE—TOP RACK ONLY!
4. 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 (212°F, 100°C).
