WARNING: To avoid the risk of serious injury when using your Vitamix®
blender and containers, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, SAFEGUARDS, AND
WARNINGS BEFORE OPERATING BLENDER.
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not use container for anything other than it’s intended use.
3. Avoid contacting moving parts.
4. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury
to persons or damage to the blender. A rubber scraper or spatula may be used, but only
when the blender is not running.
5. The tamper provided must be used only when the main part of the lid is in place.
6. Blades are sharp. Clean around the blade assembly in the container with extreme care to
avoid injury. To reduce the risk of injury, never place a blade assembly on the motor base
unless assembled to the Vitamix container.
7. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying the container and
during cleaning.
8. Do not leave foreign objects, such as spoons, forks, knives or the lid plug, in the container
as this will damage the blades and other components when starting the blender and may
cause injury.
9. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
10. Always operate blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place. The lid plug should be removed
only when adding ingredients and when using the tamper.
11. Do not fill container to the maximum capacity.
12. Always begin processing on the lowest speed setting, variable speed 1.
13. When making nut butters or oil-based foods, do not process for more than one minute
after the mixture starts to circulate in the container. Processing for longer periods can
cause overheating.
14. Make sure that the container is flush with the centering pad to ensure that the drive spline
is engaged with the drive socket before operating.
15. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, use caution; spray or escaping steam may cause
burns. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from lid opening to prevent possible
burns.
16. To minimize the possibility of scalding when blending hot materials, the following
precautions and procedures must be observed:
• Hot materials are those which are 100 deg F (38 deg C) or hotter.
• Limit the amount of hot materials processed to 1 pint.
• Always start blending on lowest speed setting, then progress to desired speed.
• Never stand directly over blender when it is being started or while it is running.
• Inspect the lid seal regularly before and after use. If the seal is damaged in any way,
discontinue use and contact Vitamix Customer Service for instruction.
17. The container surface can become hot or cold, depending on the ingredients being
processed. To avoid injury, use a oven mitt or silicone pad to protect your skin if making
contact with the outer container surfaces when emptying.
Warning and Caution
NEVER touch moving parts. Keep hands and utensils out of the container
