Frequently Asked Questions - PB380 Premium

How do I disassemble the blender jar for cleaning?

Ensure the blender is unplugged. Turn the jar counterclockwise to remove it from the base. Remove the lid and sealing ring. Rinse all parts with warm water. The jar and lid are dishwasher safe; the blade assembly should be hand washed.

What is the maximum capacity for blending hot liquids?

Do not blend hot liquids above 60°C (140°F) to avoid pressure buildup and potential lid leakage. Allow liquids to cool before blending.

Can I crush ice with this blender?

Yes, the PB380 blender is designed for ice crushing. Use pulse function in short bursts. Do not fill the jar more than half with ice.

Why does the blender stop during operation?
