Motor - The motor is designed to protect itself from overheating. If the blender will not start
immediately check to make sure you have plugged the unit in and the On/O switch is On. If
the motor has overheated, allow the motor to cool for 20-45 minutes.
Tips to prevent ‘overloading’ your blender:
Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the blender. Do not process recipes at lower
speeds than recommended. Do not process recipes at higher speeds than recommended.
Do not process recipes for longer than recommended. Use your tamper to process thicker
mixtures and keep ingredients moving around and through the blades.
Tamper - Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between dierent container styles, types
and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied with your blender.
The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the tamper is used.
To avoid overheating, DO NOT use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds.
