Note: The cups mentioned here are optional accessories of the Ascent Blenders. Please visit www.vitamix.com for more information.
To Avoid Possible Burns, Never Start on Speeds Above 1 when Processing Hot Liquids.
DO NOT blend hot liquids in the cups.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents may burn.
To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid plug securely in place prior to operating the blender.
Always start on Variable 1, then slowly increase to 10.
1. The On/Off switch is on the right hand side of the base. Press the On/Off switch to the On (I) position. After the blender is turned on, "Vitamix" will appear on the control
panel. This symbol will be displayed on the control panel when no container is on the blender base.
2. Load your container according to your recipe or the load order in the illustration here. Note: Recipe ingredients for cups load in the opposite order of the large containers.
DO NOT blend hot liquids in the 20 oz. (0.6 L) cup or 8 oz. (240 ml) bowl.
IMPORTANT! Always use the lid and the lid plug on the Large Container when the machine is in operation. Never operate the
blender without checking to make sure that the lid and lid plug are securely locked in place.
3.
Perform one of the following:
• Large Containers - Put the lid onto the container. Push the lid down into place until the two tabs snap onto
the lip of the container. Insert the lid plug. Turn the lid plug clockwise to lock.
• Cups - Put a seal on the bottom thread of the blade base. The seal should fit snugly and evenly
around the thread. Thread the blade base onto the cup in a clockwise direction. Firmly tighten the
blade base onto the cup or bowl before blending.
4. Put the container (or cup and blade base) onto the blender base. 0:00 will display when a container/cup is
detected and the blender is ready to operate.

If the motor base does not recognize the cup or bowl, tighten the blade base further
onto the cup or bowl and place it back on the motor base. If the problem continues,
contact Vitamix Customer Service for support.
5.
Perform one of the following:
• To use variable speed:
a. Turn the variable speed dial counter-clockwise until Variable Speed 1 appears on the control
panel.
b. Press Start/Stop. The blades will begin to turn and the timer will count the minutes and
seconds that the blend has been processing. To set a blend time, use the +/- icons on
the controls.
c. Rotate the Variable Speed Dial between 1 and 10 during the blending cycle to increase
or decrease the speed of the blades.
d. At the end of the blend, rotate the Variable Speed Dial counter-clockwise until Variable
1 is displayed and press Start/Stop.
• To use Programs:
Note: The soup program is not available for use with the cups. DO NOT blend hot liquid in the
cups.
a. Press the icon for the desired program. (The default program time and variable speed setting will display on the control panel).
b. Press Start/Stop to start the program. (The blender will automatically stop at the end of the program.) Press Start/Stop at any time to stop the program.
6.
If the mixture stops circulating:
• Large Containers - Insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it 'burps'. If this does not work, press the On/Off switch to stop the motor. Remove the container
from the blender base and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades. Add liquid if necessary. Replace the lid and lid plug. Return the container
to the blender base and continue blending.
• Cups - Press the On/Off switch to stop the motor. Wait until the blades stop rotating. Remove the cup and adapter from the blender base. Turn the cup over. Unthread
the adapter from the cup. Stir the ingredients. Add liquid if necessary. Reattach the adapter, place on blender base and continue blending.
7. After blending, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container/cup 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 speeds than recommended.
• Do not process recipes at higher speeds than recommended.
• Do not process recipes for longer than recommended.
• Use your tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving around and through the blades.
