What maintenance and cleaning tips should I be aware of when using a Countertop Blender?

1. Cleaning steps
Clean the Countertop Blender immediately after each use: to prevent food residue from drying and becoming difficult to clean.
Disassemble the parts: Before cleaning, disassemble the blender cup, lid and blade assembly.
Cleaning the container and blade: Wash the container and blade with warm water and a neutral detergent (such as dishwashing liquid). For stubborn stains, you can add a small amount of baking soda or lemon juice.
Cleaning the base: Wipe the base with a damp cloth and avoid immersing it in water.
Drying treatment: All parts need to be thoroughly dried before reassembly. The blade should be cleaned separately and wiped dry to avoid rust.

2. Precautions
Avoid using a high-pressure washer: the base and container should not be exposed to a high-pressure water gun to avoid damage.
Do not completely immerse the device in water: especially the motor part to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners: this may scratch the surface of the components.
Check the wear of the components regularly: if the blade or seal is found to be damaged, it should be replaced in time.

3. Safety Tips
Power-off operation: Always unplug the power plug when cleaning or maintaining.
Child safety: Keep children away from the blender to avoid misoperation.
Storage environment: Avoid placing the device in a humid or high temperature environment to avoid affecting performance.

4. Deep cleaning
Regular deep cleaning: If it has not been used for a long time or after handling hard ingredients, it is recommended to perform a deep cleaning. All parts can be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned with hot water and detergent.
Cleaning of special materials: For glass blender cups, they can be cleaned with warm soapy water, but not soaked for a long time.

5. Maintenance suggestions
Check component integrity: Regularly check the blades, lids and bases for wear or damage.
Lubricate the blades: For metal blades, apply cooking oil appropriately to prevent rust.
Avoid cross-contamination: After cleaning different ingredients, be sure to thoroughly clean the blender cup to prevent residue from affecting the next use
