Blending
NOTE: The 20 ounce cup mentioned here are optional accessories of the Explorian Blenders when used with a Vitamix
Personal Cup Adapter. Please visit vitamix.com for more information. Refer to the Personal Cup Adapter Owner’s
Manual for usage details.
WARNING
To avoid possible burns, never start on speeds above Variable Speed
1 when processing hot liquids in a large container.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents may burn. Always start on
Variable Speed 1, then slowly increase to 10.
NEVER 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.
NEVER continuously use your machine for more than 2 minutes with
the 20 ounce cup and Personal Cup Adapter.
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.
Parts will become hot with extended use.
NEVER touch the drive socket in the blender base or the drive spline
in the Personal Cup Adapter.
To avoid damage or personal injury, NEVER use the cups (including
the blade base or lids) in the microwave.
1. Load your container according to your reci-
pe or the load order in the illustration here.
IMPORTANT! Always use the lid and the lid plug on the
Large Container when the machine is in operation. Nev-
er operate the blender without checking to make sure
that the lid and lid plug are securely locked in place.
2. 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 clock-
wise to lock.
3. Put the container onto the base.
4. Look at the Variable Speed Dial. Make sure
it is pointing to Variable Speed 1. Press the
On/O Switch to start the machine. The
blades will begin to turn.
5. Rotate the Variable Speed Dial between 1
and 10 during the blending cycle to increase
or decrease the speed of the blades.
6. At the end of the blend, rotate the Variable
Speed Dial counter-clockwise to Variable
Speed 1. Press the On/O Switch.
7. If the mixture stops circulating, insert the
tamper through the lid plug and stir until it
‘burps’. If this does not work, press the On/
O 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.
8. After blending, wait until the blades com-
pletely stop before removing the lid or
