Seals
There are two seals supplied with your blender. The seals are
interchangeable and their uses are:
• During blending – place a seal on the blade base attaching the
blade base to either container.
• To travel – place a seal on the flip-top lid before attaching to the
0.6-litre container.
The seals are used to avoid leaks and spills. If you experience leaking:
• Make sure that the seal is in place on the blade assembly before
attaching to either container.
• Thread the blade base onto the container and until it stops. Try to
thread a little further to make sure it is tight.
Keep the seals clean, allow to air dry between uses and keep in a safe
place to avoid losing them.

Ingredients
• Cut ingredients into 2.5-cm (1-inch) pieces.
• Cubed ice blends better than crushed ice.
• The order to add ingredients to each container is important. Place the ingredients into each container in the
order they appear in the recipe.
Operation
• IMPORTANT!
DO NOT use your 0.6-litre cup to heat ingredients or to blend hot liquids. Heated ingredients and
liquids may create internal pressure which could cause the cup to burst and cause injury. DO NOT continuously
use your machine for more than 75 seconds with the 0.6-litre cup. If a cup becomes warm to the touch or
steams or vents, immediately stop blending ingredients and turn o or unplug the blender. Allow the cup and
ingredients to cool to room temperature before removing the blending adapter.
• When starting your machine, hold at a low speed (1 or 2) for a few seconds until you see the blades “grab” or
begin to process the ingredients.
• Once ingredients begin circulating, increase to the speed recommended in the Vitamix recipe. Operating at a
lower speed than suggested can cause the motor to overheat. Blend for the full processing time suggested in
the recipe. The smaller blades will take a bit longer than larger Vitamix machines.
• If ingredients are not flowing easily through the blades, use the tamper in the 1.2-litre container, or add more
liquid to the blend. DO NOT overfill.
• Do not fill the 1.2-litre container more than two thirds full (approximately 0.8 l) when blending thick texture
recipes (i.e. hummus or nut butters). This allows room at the top of the container to use the tamper, to add
liquid to the blend if necessary and will reduce the chances of overheating the unit.
• If the container is lifted or rocked from the motor base during blending, the machine will turn o automatically.
