• To extend the life of the polycarbonate jar, KitchenAid does not recommend washing the jar in the dishwasher.
Washing and Rinsing the Blender Jar

• Fill the jar 3/4 full of warm water and add 1 or 2 drops of dishwashing liquid.
• Place lid on the jar and place jar on the blender base. Turn the blender to "on" for 30 seconds. Remove the jar and empty contents. Repeat the soapy water steps until no food residue remains in the jar or on the blade assembly.
• Rinse the jar by filling it 3/4 full of warm water, then putting on the lid, placing jar on blender base and turning unit to "on" for 30 seconds.
• Wipe the exterior of the blender jar and lid with warm soapy water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
• Jar is bottom rack dishwasher-safe, but maintains its appearance better with hand-washing. Lid and ingredient cap are top rack dishwasher-safe.
