Note: The 20 ounce cup mentioned here are optional accessories of the Propel Series Blenders when used with a Vitamix Personal Cup
Adapter. Please visit vitamix.com for more information. Refer to the Personal Cup Adapter Owner’s Manual for usage details.
WARNING
When blending hot liquids or ingredients in the 48 oz or 64 oz. container, use caution; spray or escaping
steam may cause burns. Do not fill container to the maximum capacity. Always begin processing on the
lowest speed setting, variable speed 1. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from lid opening to prevent
possible burns.
DO NOT use your 20 ounce cup to heat ingredients or to blend hot liquids. Heated ingredients and liquids may
create internal pressure which could cause the cup to burst and cause injury.
DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than 2 minutes with the 20 ounce cup and Personal Cup Adapter.
If a cup becomes warm to the touch or steams or vents, immediately stop blending ingredients and turn o or
unplug blender. Allow the cup and ingredients to cool to room temperature before removing the blade base.
Parts will become hot with extended use.
DO NOT touch the drive socket in the blender base or the drive spline in the Personal Cup Adapter.
To avoid damage or personal injury, DO NOT use the cups (including the blade base or lids) in the microwave.
1. Before using this container for Programs or the Variable Speed option, always begin
with the Variable Speed Dial pointed at the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
2. Move the On/O switch to the On position.
3. Load the container before placing it on the motor base. Place liquids and soft foods
in the container first, solid items and ice last. Although not necessary for blending,
you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more precise measuring
of ingredients.
4. Securely fasten the 2-part lid. Always use the complete 2-part lid when blending
(unless the tamper is inserted through the lid plug opening). Especially when
blending hot ingredients, make sure that the lid is securely latched.
5. With the motor o, set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the
centering pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base
or to operate a motor base without a container properly in place.

7. Activate the blades by pressing the Start/Stop Switch. Your container may shift as it gets into an aligned position.
• Variable Speed - slowly rotate the Variable Speed dial to the right to the desired speed.
• Programs - The programs vary in blending speed and duration and will automatically stop at the end of the program. Programs can be
interrupted by pushing down the Start/Stop switch at any time. If reactivated by pushing down the Start/Stop switch, the program will start
at the beginning.
8. If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve 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 motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press
the air bubble away from the blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and continue blending.
9. After blending, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container from the blender base.
Tips to prevent ‘overloading’ your blender:
• Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the blender.
• Do not process recipes at lower or higher speeds than recommended.
How to use the Tamper:
IMPORTANT! The splash disk (near the top of the tamper) and lid prevent the tamper from hitting the blades when the lid is secured properly
in the locked position.
• The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the tamper is used during blending.
• To avoid overheating during blending, DO NOT use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds.
• If the food does not circulate, the blender may have trapped an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug, while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the
air bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening.
• Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the tamper towards the sides or corners of the container. DO NOT try
to force the tamper deeper into the container.
