If you use a blender everyday or on certain occasions, maintaining it is very important. This will ensure that it lasts for many years. Ramesh Chembath, Business Head – Kitchen Appliances, Usha International, gives you some tips on how to maintain your blender.

1. Before you clean the blender, unplug the appliance and detach all the accessories.

2. Use a damp cloth to clean the outer area of the blender base. The plug, cord or motor base should not be immersed in water or any liquids to protect against the risk of electric shock. However, the parts other than the blender base can be washed in water.

3. Keep the appliance well ventilated when it is not in use for a long time.

4. As the cutting edges of the blades are quite sharp, clean and handle it with care to avoid injuries.

5. The appliance should not be operated if the cord or plug is damaged to avoid further damages.

Do not stuff the blender. If the food has to be processed in batches, so be it. Though a good blender will 'lock' its lid, it is better to hold it gently in place while the appliance is being used.

6. To save electricity, unplug the blender when not in use.

7. Overloading the blender should be strictly avoided. This can hurt the blades and permanently damage the appliance.

8. The blender should not be run empty as it may damage the product. Ensure there is something in the blender before you operate it. Also, make sure that the lid is in place before you operate the machine.

9. Keep the blender in a dry area. Ensure there is no moisture left before you store it.

10. The blender should not be operated by children to avoid injuries.

On the Go blender

If juices and milkshakes are something you consume regularly, the On the Go blender – such as Usha International's BL 3420 model – is what you need. It lets you blend fruits easily. As the jar of the product is similar to a bottle, you can drink your juice fresh from the jar itself. Another unique feature of the product is its BPA free jars. This ensures that your juice remains free from harmful chemicals. It can also be reused a number of times. Keeping the safety factor in mind, the on the go blender comes with a safety lock to avoid spilling of its contents.
