DO NOT put the motor base in water. To clean motor base when needed, using a damp cloth to wipe exterior should be sufficient, followed by drying with a clean dry towel. (See Parts Breakdown on page 3). 1. Check the blending base of the glass pitcher to confirm the mixing blade and rubber washer are in place and the base has been properly attached. 2. Set the pitcher lid on the mouth of the pitcher. NOTE: The ice shaving chute goes up and down to allow for the insertion of the pitcher. Tip the pitcher slightly as you insert the mouth of the pitcher under the ice shaving chute, pushing upward and simultaneously set the pitcher base onto the blending gear. (See Breakdown illustration on page 3) 3. To remove the clear ice cover, push in the two large tabs located on one side of the clear lid while you lift the cover out.
