5.7 DAILY CLEANING OF MOTOR
1. Make sure the main power switch is off and motor is unplugged before
cleaning.
2. Remove motor from sound enclosure. Remove the rubber gasket
from the rim of the steel base and wash the gasket with a mild detergent.
3. When necessary, wipe the metal top and sides of the blender motor
clean with a damp rag. Mild cleaners like WINDEX® may be used.
5.8 WEEKLY CLEANING OF MOTOR (Done in addition to daily
cleaning while motor is unplugged and removed from enclosure)
1. Fill the blender drive socket (see gure 1.2) with a strong cleaning
solution such as 409® or Simple Green®. DO NOT OVERFILL. Let
stand for 5 minutes.
2. Clean the inside ridges and grooves of drive socket with a toothpick,
an ice pick or some other hard, pointed tool.
3. Turn the motor upside down to drain the material from the drive
socket. Use a paper towel or rag to dry the area and replace the motor.
5.9 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
Do not use abrasives to clean the blender motor, jar, or sound enclosure
as this will dull or scratch the surface
● Do not use a water jet of any kind to clean this equipment.
● NEVER submerge the blender motor in water - THIS WILL VOID
WARRANTY
● Avoid submerging the blender jars for more than 5 minutes. Water
penetration through the lower jar seals will reduce the jar life. When
you have cleaned the jar, store it upside down. Do NOT allow water to
stand in the lower seal area.
● For long term storage of jar, apply a small amount of food-grade oil
(such as vegetable oil) to the seals around the blade assembly both
inside and outside of the blender jar.
