SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION
Place blender on a flat, clean, and dry surface�
Make sure a plug outlet is available within 2 feet (0�61 meters) of the blender motor
base�
Ensure the unit is turned off before plugging it into a separate receptacle� Blendtec
blenders are produced in either 100/120V or 220/240V power� An appropriate power
receptacle should be used - protection of at least 13 amps for 100/120V units and 6�5
amps for 220/240V�
Make sure the electrical circuit is at least 13 amps or 6�5 amps depending on voltage�
We recommend that surge protection be placed between the receptacle and the
blender motor�
SECTION 5 - CARE AND CLEANING
5.1 AFTER USE CLEANING
1� Turn off main power switch and unplug motor before cleaning�
2� Clean the blender base by simply wiping the base and touchpad with a damp cloth
and water�
3� If needed, the drive socket can be cleaned using a toothpick or cotton swab�
5.2 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
▶ Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender motor base or jar as this
will dull or scratch the surface� Cosmetic damage is not covered by warranty�
▶ Do not use a water jet of any kind to clean the blender base�
▶ NEVER submerge the blender motor in water—THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY�
5.3 JAR CARE INSTRUCTIONS
▶ After each use, wash the jar and lid in hot soapy water� This can be accomplished by
filling the jar with 1-2 cups (237 ml) of warm water and blending a drop of dish soap
on low speed with the lid in place for one cycle�
▶ Do not soak the jar in water for any extended period of time as this may shorten the
life of the jar bearing�
▶ If the jar is being stored upside down, shake excess water from the jar so no water
collects around the drive shaft�
▶ The jar may be washed in a dishwasher if placed on the top shelf� It is recommended
the “Heated Drying” option be turned off�
▶ Sanitize the jar periodically by filling the blender jar with a sanitizer diluted according
to manufacturer’s specifications� Bleach, properly diluted, can be used as a sanitizer�
