Save These Safety Instructions
• The Vitamix blender's U.S.A. power cord comes equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet (Figure A).
This cord will vary for countries outside the United States of America.
• Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the plug or power cord.
• Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded through the
building wiring. With a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet, ground the machine
by attaching the tab on the adapter to the wall outlet cover by means of the screw in
the center of the cover (Figure B).
WARNINGS!
Three-prong adapters are not to be used in Canada.
