WARNING: To avoid the risk of serious injury when using your Vitamix® blender, basic safety precautions should
be followed, including the following
.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, SAFEGUARDS, AND WARNINGS
BEFORE OPERATING BLENDER.
18. The tamper provided must be used only when the main part
of the lid is in place.
19. Blades are sharp. Clean around the blade assembly in the
container with extreme care to avoid injury.
20. To reduce the risk of injury, never place a blade assembly on
the motor base unless assembled to the Vitamix container.
21. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades,
emptying the container and during cleaning.
22. Do not leave foreign objects, such as spoons, forks, knives or
the lid plug, in the container as this will damage the blades
and other components when starting the blender and may
cause injury.
23. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
24. Never attempt to operate with the centering pad removed.
25. Always operate blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place.
DO NOT remove 2-part lid while blades are rotating. Only
remove the lid plug to add ingredients and to use the tamper.
26. When blending hot liquids or ingredients in the 48 oz.
container, use caution; spray or escaping steam may cause
burns. Do not fill container to the maximum capacity.
Always begin processing on the lowest speed setting,
variable speed 1. Keep hands and other exposed skin away
from lid opening to prevent possible burns.
27. DO NOT use your 20 ounce 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.
28. DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than
75 seconds with the 20 ounce cup.
29. If a cup becomes warm to the touch or steams or vents,
immediately stop blending ingredients and turn o or unplug
blender. Allow the cup and ingredients to cool to room
temperature before removing the blade base.
30. When making nut butters or oil-based foods, do not process
for more than one minute after the mixture starts to circulate
in the container. Processing for longer periods can cause
overheating.
31. Make sure that the container or cup and personal cup adapter
are flush with the centering pad to ensure that the drive spline
is engaged with the drive socket before operating.
32. Make sure to use the seal on the blade base and tighten the
cup adequately to the blade base before blending.
33. Never place the personal cup adapter onto the blade base
without the cup attached.
