Frequently Asked Questions - WHSM03K WESTINGHOUSE

How do I clean the blender jar properly?

After each use, rinse the jar immediately with warm water. For a deeper clean, fill the jar halfway with warm soapy water, run on low speed for 30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Most parts are dishwasher safe (top rack).

Can I crush ice with this blender?

Yes, the WHSM03K is designed to crush ice. Use the pulse function for best results, and add a small amount of water to facilitate the process.

What should I do if the blender stops working mid-use?

It may be due to overload protection. Unplug the unit, let it cool for 15-20 minutes, and reduce the load. If the issue persists, check the power cord and outlet.

Is the blender jar BPA-free?

Yes, the jar is made from BPA-free plastic, safe for food contact and blending hot liquids (up to 140°F).

What is the maximum capacity for blending hot liquids?

When blending hot liquids, do not fill beyond the 4-cup mark (1 liter) to avoid pressure buildup. Always remove the center cap for venting.

How do I attach the blade assembly?

Place the rubber gasket on the blade unit, then screw the blade assembly onto the jar from below. Tighten firmly by hand, but avoid over-tightening.

Can I use the blender to make nut butters?

Yes, for nut butters, use the pulse function and scrape down sides. Do not process for more than 1 minute continuously to prevent overheating.

What does the pulse function do?

The pulse function provides short bursts of power for precise control, ideal for chopping or crushing without over-processing.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts such as the jar assembly, blade unit, and lid can be ordered through Westinghouse customer service or authorized retailers.

Is the blender suitable for smoothies with frozen fruit?

Absolutely. Add frozen fruit first, then liquid, and use the highest speed. The 500W motor handles frozen ingredients effectively.
