a detergent or disinfectant. Dilute the detergent/
disinfectant following the instructions normally
specified on it's packaging container. Use a cloth
lightly dampened (not dripping) with the cleaning
solution. Do not allow liquid to come into contact
with the electrical components contained within
the housing. Be careful when cleaning around

CLEANING
Never immerse motor housing and/or handle in
liquid! The housing contains the electrical components
and is not sealed against liquid. Contact with liquid
can cause damage to the blender and serious injury to
the operator.
• SHAFT AND BELL
There are two ways to proceed:
Simple cleaning procedure
Submerge the shaft and bell in water and run for a
few seconds to clean. Unplug the power cord.
Complete cleaning procedure
Unplug the power mixer and rinse the bell under a
water tap. Remove the bell from the shaft, then
remove the blade (wear cutting gloves) ! Be careful
to avoid damaging the surface of the blade shaft
and the watertight seals. Always dilute the deter-
gent/disinfectant (see above). Thoroughly dry all
parts before reassembling.
• BLADE
The blade can be removed from the bell for
thorough cleaning. Always dry thoroughly to avoid
spotting.
• ALUMINUM
Use soft-metal-safe cleaning agents!
• PLASTIC
Be careful, many cleaning agents are corrosive
and are not safe for use on plastics !
Do not use strong alkaline detergent (having a
high concentration of soda or ammonia).

MAINTENANCE
• BLADE
Over time the blades will become worn and will
need to be replaced. The washer and seals should
also be replaced at this time. A blade service kit is
available.
• SHAFT SEAL
In order to maintain a watertight seal between the
shaft and bell, inspect the seal for wear and repla-
ce it if necessary.
