Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the K400 is straightforward: ensure the die-cast base is placed on a level, dry surface. Lock the 1.4L ribbed glass jar securely onto the base before plugging in the unit. For daily cleaning, you can utilize the self-cleaning cycle by adding a drop of dish soap and warm water to the jar, then running the cycle for 30 seconds. All removable components, including the lid and measuring cup, are dishwasher-safe. Avoid using abrasive sponges on the glass jar to prevent surface micro-scratches. Always ensure the lid is properly seated with the measuring cup in place before activating the blender to prevent spills.
