  Blenders
 

• Cleaning a blender jar after use is not so easy. After pouring out the blended material fill the jar to one-third its capacity with water. Use    the pulse or inching function for five seconds. You will find that the jar has been washed clean even under the blades. If the material is    very sticky then you can even use soap water instead of plain water.

• The blenders have an overload protection switch. This is to prevent burning of the motor when the blender is loaded above its rated    capacity or kept switched on for a longer time. In such a case the circuit breaker switches off the motor. Press the reset switch which is on    the top in case of model NB895 and which is at the bottom in case of models like NB894 and NB900 to reset the unit. You can start the unit    after waiting for some time to cool the motor and by removing some of the material inside to reduce the load in the jar.
