scraper or spatula may be used,
but only when the blender is not
running.
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
centring 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 64 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
off 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 centring pad to make sure
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.
