16. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in or on
a heated oven.
17. 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.
18. The tamper provided must be used only when the main part
of the lid is in place.
19. Blades are sharp. Clean around the blade assembly in the
container with extreme care to avoid injury.
20. To reduce the risk of injury, never place a blade assembly on
the motor base unless assembled to the Vitamix container.
21. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades,
emptying the container and during cleaning.
22. 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.
23. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
24. Never attempt to operate with the centering pad removed.
25. Always operate blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place.

variable speed 1. Keep hands and other exposed skin away
from lid opening to prevent possible burns.
27. 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.
28. DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than
75 seconds with the 20 ounce cup.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. Make sure that the container or cup and personal cup adapter
are flush with the centering pad to ensure that the drive spline
is engaged with the drive socket before operating.
32. Make sure to use the seal on the blade base and tighten the
cup adequately to the blade base before blending.
33. Never place the personal cup adapter onto the blade base
without the cup attached.

• Insert the lid plug through the lid plug opening. Lock the
plug in place by turning clockwise. To remove, turn counter-
clockwise and lift out.
• Remove the lid plug to use the tamper or to add
ingredients.

blender.

recommended.

ingredients moving around and through the blades.
