Vitamix VM0158A - Troubleshooting

22
Your Vitamix motor is designed to be protected from overheating during use.
This feature will cause the motor to shut o and possibly emit a light odor.
If the motor shuts o, turn o the power switch for up to 45 minutes to reset.
Reset time will be extended if high room temperatures exist.
If you continue to experience problems after allowing the motor to reset, contact
your local Vitamix Customer Service at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 immediately
for instructions.
Tips to prevent “overloading” your Vitamix machine:
• Only process Vitamix recipes when learning to use the machine
• Do not process recipes at lower speeds than those recommended
• Do not process recipes at higher speeds than those recommended
• Do not process recipes for longer than recommended
• Use your tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving
around and through the blades
Retainer Nut Loosening
In the event that the retainer nut at the bottom of your container loosens and
no longer holds the blade assembly securely in place, DO NOT CONTINUE TO
USE THE CONTAINER. Contact your local dealer or distributor immediately for
instructions.
Variable Speed Reset
(7500, Pro-300 and Creations Elite Models only)
If the Variable Speed Function is not working and the blades only rotate at the
lowest speed (Variable Speed 1) the blender must be reset.
To reset the machine and reactivate the Variable Speed Function:
1. Push the Start/Stop Switch down to the Stop Position ( ).
2. Turn the Variable Speed Dial back to 1.
This will reset the Variable Speed Function. When you move the Start/Stop switch
to the Start position, you will have full use of all variable speeds.
