Vitamix PROFESSIONAL SERIES 500 User Manual

Wet Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids, including juice, frozen mixtures,
sauces, soups, purees, batters, and for wet chopping. The wet blades can also grind grain and
knead dough, but they are not quite as efficient as the dry blades in this application. If used for
grinding, your container will mar and become cloudy; see instructions for dry container use.
Dry Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D” and are designed specifically
for grinding dry materials such as grains, cereal, and coffee, and are also used for kneading
bread dough. The dry blades can NOT process liquids efficiently. If you grind herbs on a
regular basis, you may wish to purchase a separate dry blade container.
