Wipe the motor body with a damp cloth only. Do not immerse it in water or any other liquid.

Are the blades dishwasher safe?

The manual recommends washing the blending attachment, chopper blade, and other removable parts in warm soapy water by hand. Dishwasher safety is not stated, so hand wash is recommended to maintain sharpness.

The Turbo button provides an extra boost of power when blending or chopping. You must release the Power button before pressing Turbo. Use momentarily for tough ingredients.

No. The blender is not designed to chop ice. Add ice to beverages after blending to avoid damage.

Is the appliance suitable for commercial use?
