To Avoid Injury.
Read and understand instruction manual before using this machine.
Basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.
1.
Read all instructions, safeguards, and warnings before operating blender.
2. Operate only when the blender is on a flat and stable surface, free from standing water. Do not let the container, motor base or power
cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a table or counter.
3. Do not fill the container beyond its stated capacity. The maximum capacity is marked on the container.
4.
Always begin blending with lid and lid plug firmly in place. Do not operate blender with the lid removed. The lid plug should be removed
only when adding ingredients and when using the tamper.
5.
The tamper fitting your container can only be used when the lid is firmly locked in place. Use the lid and the tamper that fit your
container. Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles, types, and sizes. If a tamper came with your
container, it is the correct tamper for use with the container.
6. Always start the blender with the variable speed dial set to 1 and the High/Low switch in the low position. Never start on speeds above
1 or with the High/Low Switch in the the high position when blending hot liquids to avoid possible burns. Always blend hot liquids with
the lid and lid plug firmly in place. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid plug when blending hot contents.
7. Never touch moving parts. Switch off the appliance and wait until the blades stop moving before removing the container from the
motor base and opening the container.
8.
Switch off the appliance and disconnect from power supply before changing accessories or approaching parts that move in use.
9.
Do not leave or store foreign objects, such as spoons, forks, knives or the lid plug in the container. Starting the blender with a foreign
object in the container will damage the blender and may cause injury.
10. Do not operate the blender with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
11. Blades are sharp. Use extreme care when emptying the bowl and during cleaning to avoid injury.
12. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender.
A rubber scraper or spatula may be used, but only when the container is removed from the motor base and the blades are not moving.
13. Do not operate with loose or damaged blades. Do not remove blade assembly from the container. Contact your nearest Vitamix
authorized service representative for service or replacement.
14. Do not use outdoors.
15. 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 damage to the container and
