Unplug the motor base. Wipe the exterior with a damp, soft cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or let liquid enter the control panel or vents.
For the drive socket (where the pitcher locks in), wipe with a damp cloth to remove any food residue. Ensure it is dry before use.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. The base contains electrical components and is not dishwasher safe.
