19. The tamper provided must be used only
when the main part of the lid is in place.
20. Blades are sharp. Clean around the blade
assembly in the container with extreme
care to avoid injury. 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. The lid plug should be
removed only when adding ingredients
and when using the tamper.
26. When blending hot liquids or ingredients
in the 64 oz. (Large) 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 or 8
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 2 minutes with the 20
ounce cup or 45 seconds for the 8 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.
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
blade base 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 blending adapter onto
the blade base without the cup attached.
