CARE AND CLEANING
Containers, Lids, Lid Plug, Tamper, Blade Base and Seals
Motor Base
1. Unplug the power cord.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.
Disconnect power before cleaning machine. Do not immerse or
place the motor base in water.
Failure to follow instructions can cause death or electrical shock.
đƫ Are top rack dishwasher safe. The parts may become damaged if
they are not washed on the top rack.
đƫ Remove the blade base from the container after blending. Clean the
threads on the blade base and the seal thoroughly to avoid ingredient
build up between blends. Ingredient build up might cause problems
when trying to remove the blade base from the container if it has
been attached and allowed to sit for a long period of time.
Automatic Overload Protection
Your Vitamix machine is equipped with automatic overload protection. This built-in feature is designed to
protect the motor and prevent your machine from overheating. When engaged, the automatic overload
protection will cause the motor to shut o and possibly emit a light odor. If the motor shuts off, turn the
control knob back to the stop symbol (O) and let the blender sit for 45 minutes to cool.
Do not fill the 40 ounce (1.2 L) container more than two-thirds full (approximately 28 ounces) when blending
thick texture recipes (I.e., hummus or nut butters). This allows room at the top of the container to use the
tamper, to add liquid to the blend if necessary and will reduce the chances of overheating the unit.
