Dos And Don'ts - Cuisinart SBC-1000C Instruction Booklet

CAUTION: When removing the jar use caution. The
area underneath the collar may be extremely hot.
Place the blender jar, lid, rubber gasket and measuring
cup in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in
warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
To thoroughly clean the heating plate, we recommend
that you use the cleaning brush that is included with
your blender. Be sure to let the heating plate cool
before cleaning with the cleaning brush, as the brush
not heatproof.
NOTE: Do not clean the heating plate with any abrasive
tools so as not to scrape the easy-clean coating.
TIP: To wash jar assembly, add a drop of dishwashing
liquid and 8 ounces (236 mL) of warm water. Run on
speed 1 for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap
water. Do not use heat controls when cleaning. Empty
blender jar and carefully disassemble jar from the collar
with blade assembly. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly
or allow to air dry.
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully.
It is SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt
to remove blades from cutting assembly.
Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth
to remove any residue, and dry thoroughly. Never
submerge the motor base in water or other liquids,
or place in a dishwasher. Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service representative.
