CARE NOTE: Do not let mixtures, liquids and food products dry inside the container. Rinse
throughout use. Drying product may lock around the blade and weaken/tear the bearings seal
when restarted. Do not place containers in the freezer. Extremely low temperature combined
with hot ingredients and/or the immediate rapid action of the blade may crack the container.
The Splash Guard, Ice Chute, Ice Shelf, and Thermoplastic Rubber Lid are dishwasher safe.
However, to prolong the life of these parts, Vita-Mix
®
recommends using a low pH balance
soap. For maximum container life, do not wash in a dishwasher.
