Tips to prevent ‘overloading’ your blender:
• Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the
blender.
• NEVER process recipes at lower or higher speeds than
recommended.
• NEVER process recipes for longer than recommended.
• Use your tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep
ingredients moving around and through the blades.
How to Use the Tamper:
IMPORTANT! The splash disk (near the top of the tam-
per) and lid prevent the tamper from hitting the blades
when the lid is secured properly in the locked position.
• The container should not be more than two-thirds full
when the tamper is used during blending.
• To avoid overheating during blending, NEVER use the
tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds.
• If the food does not circulate, the blender may have
trapped an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug,
while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release
the air bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid
plug opening.
• Holding the tamper straight down may not help the
ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the tamper
towards the sides or corners of the container. NEVER
try to force the tamper deeper into the container.
Care and CLeanIng
BEFORE FIRST USE:
1. Wipe the base with a warm damp cloth
and wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth. Wash
the container, lid, lid plug, and tamper with
warm, soapy water. Rinse all parts. Wipe dry
with a dry, soft cloth.
2. Choose a space on the counter that is
level, dry and clean. Plug the blender into a
grounded, 3-prong outlet.
NOTE: Your Vitamix container is designed to be com-
pletely cleanable without removing the retainer nut and
blade assembly. NEVER attempt to remove the retainer
nut or blade assembly from the container. Our Normal
