CLEANING

Dishwasher: All parts except the motor base are top-rack dishwasher safe and should NOT be cleaned with a heated dry cycle. Ensure the blade assembly is removed from the container before placing in the dishwasher.
Hand-washing: Wash containers, lids, and blade assemblies in warm, soapy water. When washing the blade assemblies, use a dishwashing utensil with a handle to avoid direct hand contact with blades. Handle blade assemblies with care to avoid contact with sharp edges. Rinse and air-dry thoroughly.

Always unplug the blender base before cleaning.
