DM-1000 - Need to know how to take apart to clean. I want to take the nozzle off which drops the ice into the pitcher. The drink ingredients pop up into that area.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup nopal (cactus pads cleaned, spines removed), julienned.
• 1/2 cucumber, peeled and chopped.
• 1 lime, juiced.
• 1 cup water.
• Crushed ice (optional)

If you can visually see the rod, use a few drops of cooking oil. If it leaks into any drink, you wont get sick. Don't use mineral oils.

You don't say what is making them stick together or what you've tried to do. Gentle heat is usually helpful and sometimes hot water can dissolve the "glue" that's causing the problem. If the pitcher is used for sweetened drinks or if it is a small pitcher used for milk or cream, the hot water can do the trick.

Yes it very well could, it is highly likely.

This can be coming from discoloration and/or food acting on the rubber gasket. Be sure to take the pitcher apart, removing, the screw on base cap, the blade mechanism,and the gasket to clean your blender after each use. Acids and liquids can act on the rubber causing a discoloration and this will seep into your pitcher. This should take care of your problem. If it does, please come back to Fixya and rate my solution!

Ice floats, if you want to add more ice pour almost all of it out into separate container, add ice to remaining mixture and blend.

I have the same problem. The company say the model is discontinued. If you find one, please let me know.
