eventually shuts down the motor if the motor is overheating. When overheated the display
will instruct the user to remove the container and run the machine until cool. This takes
about a minute.
When overheating occurs, review your techniques and instructions. The motor may be
overheating if your recipes are too thick. Consider adding more liquid and consult
Vita-Mix for further assistance.
