hi thomas fox again omni blenders 3blenders.com i just want to explain something about cleaning out a container so you can preserve the blade assembly and increase the longevity of it it's best to just serve your smoothie if you don't drink it don't put it in the refrigerator in the container and then if you come here to the rinse it out it's kind of sad that you have to throw that away because you could actually put that in a compost um or we could use a spatula also yeah we could use a spatula also but anyway for this purpose i'm just throwing it away because this is the jar that's all you need to clean it out take some paper towel and why you want to use a paper towel is it takes away the water stain if you let it if you let it dry by air then you have water stains stick to it and next thing before you know it food is going to stick to that and then you're going to get a ugly looking jar i could give me one second i'll show you what an ugly looking car looks like right here's an ugly looking jar do you see that anyways in that jar i blended aluminum so that's another story okay back to and that's it be careful so you don't cut yourself because these these blades are really sharp always inspect the gear here it works fine it's all smooth so this is how you're gonna keep your jar really nice as nice as possible don't put in the dishwasher don't let water soak here and water soak inside there for a long time just as long as you need it for blending purposes this will help increase the longevity and yeah my wife mentioned something about the temper use let me wash this real quick tamper use this is a cap you put all you take it out from the lid and you put the lid on there and then i need to get a pamper maybe there here temper for emergency purposes only you really don't need it a whole lot only if there's well there's always some variables there you need to push down on the ingredients this is when you use this so you don't use your hand please never put your hand in there during blending that could be a disaster or horrifying some customers say that they blend this up and it cracks and breaks it's because i'm telling you they just do this there's just no other way that this breaks but if that happens to you don't don't be afraid of giving me a call we have a lot of those okay be happy to help you preferably that you buy them at least paying shipping cost okay so that's it that's it here's the website again buy tons of blenders see you later alligator
