1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put
motor base in water or other liquid.
3. Close adult supervision is necessary when machine is used by or near children.
4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet when the Vitamix® machine is not
in use, before disassembling, when putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning, other than washing the container.
5. Never touch moving parts.
6. Do not operate any machine that malfunctions, has a damaged cord or plug,
has been dropped or is damaged in any manner. If you purchased your equipment
in the U.S.A., call Vitamix Technical Support, 800-886-5235 for examination,
repair, possible replacement, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. If you purchased
outside of the U.S.A., please contact your local authorized Vitamix Distributor,
or contact the Vitamix International Division at +1.440.782.2450 or
email international@vitamix.com for a distributor near you.
7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by Vitamix
may cause fire, shock, or injury. Do not use attachments not recommended or
sold by Vitamix, doing so will void the warranty. Alteration or modification of this
product in any form is not recommended as such may result in bodily injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces or hang over edge of table or counter.
10. Do not place the machine on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, in a
heated oven, or allow machine to touch hot surfaces. External heat
sources can damage the machine.
11. Keep hands and utensils out of container while motor is running to prevent the
possibility of severe personal injury and/or damage to the Vitamix machine.
A rubber spatula may be used, but only when the Vitamix machine is not running.
12. WARNING: Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• Never try to remove the blades while container is sitting on the motor base.
• Do not operate with loose, nicked or damaged blades – replace immediately.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, never place blade assembly on motor base
without the Vitamix container properly attached.
13. The maximum capacity is equivalent to the ounces (liters) listed on the container,
and is substantially less with thick mixtures.
14. Container should not be more than 2⁄3 full when the accelerator tool is left in
place while blending. Do not exceed 30 seconds of continuous blending while
accelerator tool is in place.
15. CAUTION: Cooling problems resulting in thermal shut-off and eventual motor
damage may result if machine is operated in sound chambers other than those
approved by Vitamix®.
16. When making nut butters or oil based foods, do not process for more than
one minute after mixture starts circulating. Over processing can cause
dangerous overheating as well as damage the container.
17. Always operate the Vitamix machine with the lid in place and securely attached.
18. WARNING: When processing hot liquids:
• The two-part latching lid must be securely in place. This allows steam to escape
naturally and will prevent the lid from coming off when the machine is turned on.
