lid plug. Turn the lid plug clockwise to lock.
• 20 oz. (0.6 L) cup or 8 oz. (225 ml) bowl -
a. Put a seal on the bottom thread of the blade base. The seal should fit snugly and
evenly around the thread.
b. Thread the blade base onto the cup or bowl in a clockwise direction. Firmly tighten
the blade base onto the cup or bowl before blending.
4. Put the container (or cup and blade base) onto the blender base. 0:00 will display
when a container/cup is detected and the blender is ready to operate.
If the motor base does not recognize the cup or bowl, tighten the blade base further
onto the cup or bowl and place it back on the motor base. If the problem continues, contact
Vitamix Customer Service for support.
5. Variable speed:
a. Turn the variable speed dial to Variable Speed 1.
b. Press Start/Stop. The blades will begin to turn and the timer will count the
minutes and seconds that the blend has been processing. To set a blend time,
use the +/- icons on the controls.
c. Rotate the Variable Speed Dial between 1 and 10 during the blending cycle to
increase or decrease the speed of the blades.
d. At the end of the blend, rotate the Variable Speed Dial counter-clockwise to
Variable 1. Press Start/Stop.
6. If the mixture stops circulating:
• Large Containers - Insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it ‘burps’. If this does not work, press the On/O switch to stop the motor. Remove
the container from the blender base and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades. Add liquid if necessary. Replace the lid and lid
plug. Return the container to the blender base and continue blending.
• 20 oz. (0.6 L) cup or 8 oz. (225 ml) bowl - Press the On/O switch to stop the motor. Wait until the blades stop rotating. Remove the cup and
blade base from the blender base. Turn the cup over. Unthread the blade base from the cup. Stir the ingredients. Add liquid if necessary.
Reattach the blade base, place on blender base and continue blending.
7. After blending, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container/cup from the blender base.
8. If necessary, use the Blade Scraper to remove salsa, jelly, jam, peanut butter, and other thick ingredients from under the blades only after the
blender has been turned o and the container has been removed from the motor base.
WARNING
To Avoid Injury. NEVER TOUCH MOVING PARTS.
Keep hands and utensils out of containers and cups during blender operation.
DO NOT insert fingers or utensils around the blades while the blades are spinning.
The blades will continue to spin until they come to a complete stop at the end of the blend cycle. Allow the blades to
come to a complete stop before handling the blade base and cups.
If the cup becomes un-threaded from the blade base during operation, turn the machine OFF and wait until the motor
and blades come to a complete stop before attempting to remove the cup and blade base from the motor base.
