Your Cambridge Blender is one of the most hardworking appliances in your kitchen. From smoothies and sauces to grinding spices and nuts, it handles it all. But to keep it running smoothly for years, a little routine maintenance goes a long way. Here are some practical tips to extend the life of your blender and get the most from your Cambridge appliance.
1. Clean Immediately After Each Use
Leaving residues to dry makes cleaning harder and can affect performance over time. Rinse your blender jar, lid, and blade attachment with warm water right after use.
🧼 Quick Clean Tip:
Add a drop of dish soap and some warm water into the jar. Run the blender for 20–30 seconds, rinse thoroughly, and you're done!

2. Avoid Overfilling the Jar
Overloading your blender strains the motor and can lead to leakage or damage. Stick to the maximum fill line marked on the jar, especially for thick mixtures like nut butter or batters.
⚠️ Pro Tip: When blending hot liquids, fill only halfway and keep your hand on the lid with a towel for safety.

3. Use the Right Attachment for the Job
Cambridge blenders often come with multiple jars (wet mill, dry mill, and sometimes a chutney or spice grinder). Using the wrong one can damage both the jar and the blades.
🥄 Use the dry mill for grinding spices, coffee, or grains.
🍹 Use the main blender jar for smoothies, soups, and liquids.

4. Don’t Run It Continuously for Too Long
Blender motors can overheat if they run nonstop. For tougher blends, pulse in short bursts and let the motor rest every 30–40 seconds.
🌡️ If your blender feels hot: Turn it off and unplug it. Let it cool down before starting again.

5. Regularly Check Blades and Gaskets
Dull blades or loose gaskets can lead to leaks and reduced performance. Every few weeks, inspect the rubber gasket under the blade assembly and the sharpness of the blades.

6. Store It Right
When not in use, store your blender in a dry, clean place with the lid slightly open to avoid odors. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of it to protect the jar and blades.
🧊 For seasonal use: Wrap cords neatly and keep the blender in its original box if possible.
