Lesson Information
Read Lesson Information closely and find out how much
you can remember. Then do Self-Check, Activity and Task
Sheet 1.1 to know how much you have learned.
1. In cleaning any electrical device, it is basic to always turn it off and unplug. If you don't
have an electric air pot with a power button,
continue with the rest of the process.
4. Put hot water and two to three drops of mild dish detergent to the dispenser. Wait for
about 8-10 minutes and then clean the inside with a sponge-head cleaner. Wash the
dispenser with water making sure to remove all detergent residues.
4
5. Put hot water and 2 tablespoon of vinegar inside the air pot to descale at least once a
month. Let the solution stay in the air pot for 1 hour. If mineral deposits are seen,
descaling may be done right away.
6. You may now close the lid and dispense some of the
solution out of the spout to clean it also. This will clear
any buildup in it. Open the lid. Clean the interior again
with a sponge-head cleaner. Pour the water out and
wash the interior again with water.
7. Put clean hot water into the air pot, close the lid and
dispense the water out the spout. This will rinse the
spout of the traces of vinegar. Open the lid and pour
out remaining water.
Cleaning a Blender
1. Clean the funnel and blender lid with liquid soap and
water. Rinse well with water and use a clean towel to
dry them.
2. Put about ¾ hot water into the blender jar and squirt a
small amount of dish soap about ½ teaspoon. You
might want to add a tablespoon of baking soda to the
water also to remove odor and stains. This will also aid
in loosening tough food particles.
3. Turn on the blender and let it run at high speed for
about 20 seconds. Doing this works well to get the
blender clean.
4. If there are really sticky and dried messes in your
blender, repeat the second and third steps a few times
until the mess is dissolved.
5. You need to rinse well the jar with hot water and towel
dry carefully, or you may turn it upside down on a clean,
dry towel or dish strainer to air dry.

6. If your blade assembly is removable, remove it and
rinse it with hot water. Wipe it dry with a clean towel.
Make sure that it is completely dry. Of course, you have
to be very careful when doing this so that you will not
cut yourself while drying the blades.
7. Remove the dirt of a steel base blender with glass
cleaner or a mixture of half vinegar and half water
placed in a spray bottle. All you have to do is spray it
on and wipe with a soft cloth.
8. If your blender base is plastic, you can use a damp
soapy rag, or an all-purpose kitchen spray cleaner, or
a mixture of baking soda and water.
9. It is acceptable to use a damp rag to wipe the electric
cord also. But you have to be sure to unplug the base
first. In addition, be sure not to get the electric plug wet.
10. It is important that you wipe the countertop where the
blender is placed.
11. Protect the blender with a fabric cover.

5.Dismantle the blades and wash them with hot soapy
water. Rinse the blade well and wipe with a clean cloth.

NOTE:
Do not panic when a plastic melted on your sole plate, because it can be removed! Put a piece of
aluminum foil on the ironing board and sprinkle it with salt. Ironing over the salt and foil will help loosen
the plastic. Do not try to scrape the plastic off with metal tools. This may permanently damage the sole
plate. If the vent holes of your iron have become blocked with starch or buildup, you may clean them
with cotton buds dipped in a 1 to 1 ratio of water and vinegar.
4. For the second time, fill the washer with hot water
on the largest load setting. Put 2 cups of bleach to
the water to help in removing stains. Run a wash
and rinse cycle.
5. Fill the washer with plain water and run one more
cycle to rinse away any residue.
6. Clean the bleach dispenser by soaking it in a
bucket of warm water. When the buildup has
loosened, remove the dispenser from the pad and
place on a paper towel. Wipe away any remaining
dirt with the use of spray cleaner and paper towels.
9
7. Dry the dispenser and return to the original place in the machine.
8. Clean the outside of the hoses with a cloth and spray cleaner.
9. When the washer has completely dried, place its lid back. Mop the floor specially the
portion where the washer stands.
NOTE:
You may use a vacuum with hose attachment to clean under the washer. Dusts tend to accumulate in
this place. Be extra careful when doing this taking into account the cords and electrical outlet areas.
