3. Rinse with clear water until all soap is rinsed from jar and lid.
4. Clean the blender base by simply wiping the base and touchpad with a damp
cloth and water.
5.2 LONG-TERM SANITATION
1. For long-term sanitation, occasionally fill the blender jar half way with hot water.
2. Add one teaspoon of liquid chlorine bleach.
3. Stir for 10 seconds to mix water and bleach. Let mixture stand in blender jar for
five minutes.
4. Empty water/bleach mixture and rinse the jar thoroughly to ensure that there is
no bleach mixture left in the jar. Turn jar up side down on dish rack until dry.
5.3 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender base or jar as this will
dull or scratch the surface. Cosmetic damage is not covered by warranty.
• 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 up-
right.
• BLENDER JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE–TOP RACK ONLY! Extreme temperatures
damage the lower seal to the jar.
SECTION 6 OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
6.1 MAIN POINTS OF OPERATION
1. Turn on the main power switch located on the back of the blender motor base in the
lower right corner.
2. Place the blender jar on the base, making sure the jar is secure. Attach the blender
lid.
3. Press the desired touch pad button once. You may press any button on the lower
row to stop the cycle.
4. When cycle is complete, remove the blender jar and serve.
6.2 AUTOMATIC CYCLE OPERATION
The Blendtec Total Blender has automatic blending cycles for ice cream, frozen
yogurt, ice crushing, milkshakes, soups, syrups, fondues, sauces, dips, dressings, bat-
ters, whole juice, and smoothies. These cycles have variable speed settings that will
change during the course of the cycle. This allows the blender to draw the contents
into the blending vortex, which creates the desired texture. The blender will run its
pre-programmed cycle and automatically shut off. If at any point you want to stop the
blender before it has completed its cycle press any lower row button.
