Frequently Asked Questions - WHBL03SS WESTINGHOUSE

How do I clean the blender?

For easy cleaning, fill the jar halfway with warm water and a drop of dish soap, then run on high for 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly. The jar, lid, and blade assembly are dishwasher safe (top rack).

Can I blend ice or frozen fruits?

Yes, the stainless steel blades can crush ice and frozen fruit. Use the pulse function for best results and do not overload the jar.

What is the maximum capacity for blending hot liquids?

Do not blend hot liquids above 140°F (60°C) as pressure can build up and cause the lid to pop off. Allow liquids to cool before blending.

Why does the blender stop during use?

The blender has a thermal overload protector that shuts off the motor if it overheats. Unplug and let it cool for 15-20 minutes before resuming.

How do I replace the blade assembly?

Unscrew the blade assembly from the jar by turning it counterclockwise. Replace with a new WHBL03SS blade assembly and tighten securely.

What do I do if the blender leaks?

Check that the sealing ring is properly placed under the blade assembly. Tighten the blade assembly firmly. If the ring is damaged, replace it.

Can I use the blender to grind coffee beans or spices?

The blender is designed for wet blending. Dry grinding may dull the blades or overheat the motor. Use a dedicated coffee/spice grinder instead.

The lid won't lock properly. What should I do?

Ensure the lid is aligned with the jar and pressed down until it clicks. Check for debris or damage on the locking tabs. Do not force it.

What does the 'SS' in the model number stand for?

'SS' indicates Stainless Steel finish on the base. The jar is glass, but the base and accents are stainless steel.

Where can I find replacement parts or accessories?

Authorized parts are available through Westinghouse customer service or online retailers. Use only genuine WHBL03SS parts for safety and performance.

CLEANING AND CARE

1. ⚠️ WARNING: Do not under any circumstances immerse the power cord, mains plug or blender body in water or any other liquid.
2. ⚠️ WARNING: Do not attempt to clean the unit whilst it is still plugged into the electrical power outlet. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
3. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents. The outside surface may be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and dried thoroughly. If necessary, a mild dishwashing detergent may be applied to the cloth but not directly applied to the blender.
4. Soaking the jug, lid, and lid cap accessories in water will assist in the removal of sticky or tough to remove substances. In most instances, running warm water over the accessories is sufficient to remove most substances.
5. When washing, non-abrasive cloths and plastic bristle kitchen brushes may be used to remove stubborn food particles from the jug and accessories. Do not use abrasive cloths and cleaning materials as they will damage the surfaces.
6. Ensure the blender and all accessories are dried thoroughly after cleaning.
7. Store in a dry place away from steam and humidity where possible.
