CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

• Do not immerse the appliance in water. Never put the motor unit (A) under hot running water.
• Clean the jug immediately after use.
• Fill up the jug with 1 litre of hot water along with 2 or 3 drops of washing up liquid Only use the recommended amount of water and washing up liquid. An excess of washing up liquid creates more foam and consequently can lead to overflowing.

• Once the program has stopped, unplug the appliance.
• Press on the trigger (d2) then remove the blender jug (D).
• Place the jug on a flat surface.
• Unlock the lid by turning it a quarter turn clockwise. Remove the lid with care.
• When the lid is cool, remove the carrier seal. To do so, grip it between your thumb and index finger, then pull to extract it. The seal dismounts without risk of deterioration (Cf. Fig. 12).

• Finish cleaning the jug with the aid of a sponge.

• Rinse the inside of the jug and the lid under running water.

• In the event of the heated part of the jug getting extremely dirty, leave to soak for a few hours in a mix of water and washing up liquid to help get it clean.

• Take care when cleaning the blades (d3) in the blender jug and when you empty the bowl as they are sharp.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the motor unit (A). Dry it carefully.
• The detachable parts (lid, seal, measuring cap, cooking basket) can be cleaned with a sponge and hot soapy water.
• To preserve the appearance and service life of the lid of your appliance, hand wash it. Do not use the abrasive side of the sponge to avoid scratches.
• The removable blade is not dishwasher safe — wash it under running water using a brush.
