BLADE REMOVAL
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing blade.
Pull the blade straight out from the shaft.
Wipe the Blade with a damp cloth. If your circulator is used in a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not use solvents. Do not place blade in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
To reattach – be certain the flat side of the shaft aligns directly with the corresponding flat side on the blade’s socket. Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in bearing damage.
