IMPORTANT NOTES!
* Be sure to wring excess water out of the cloth or sponge when cleaning around the
controls or any electrical part.
** To prolong container life, Vitamix® recommends using soaps with a low Ph balance,
such as a liquid dishwashing detergent (Ivory Liquid®).
*** Recommended sanitising solution: 1.5 tsp. 7.4 ml institutional or household bleach in
2.0 L water.
Cleaning Products: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or concentrated bleach when
cleaning. Do not use any cleaners containing Quaternary Sanitisers on the containers.
Cleaning: Switches may become sticky from use. Unplug the machine and use a wet
cloth, moistened with water and a mild detergent, to clean around the edges of the switch
paddles until they function freely. Clean carefully, using caution not to allow water or
other liquids to infiltrate the switch. Dry with a soft cotton cloth.
Motor Base/Control Panel
1. Unplug the power cable.
2. Gently wash the outside surface with a damp soft cotton cloth moistened with a mild
solution of warm water and non-abrasive detergent or non-abrasive liquid spray cleaner.
Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
3. Thoroughly clean the switches so that they work freely. They may become sticky from use.
Unplug the machine and use a wet cloth, moistened with water* and a mild detergent, to
clean around the edges of the switch paddles until they function freely. Work the switches
back and forth a few times to loosen any dried residue underneath. Leaving switches
sticky will damage or burn out the switches. Clean carefully, using caution not to allow
water or other liquids to infiltrate the switch.
4. Dry with a soft cotton cloth.
Lid
Separate the lid and plug. Wash in warm soapy water. Rinse clean under running water and
dry. Reassemble before use.
Container and Lid
For maximum container life, do not wash in a dishwasher.
1. To Clean: Fill container 1/4 full with warm (43˚C) water and add a few drops of washing-up
liquid.** Return the container to the motor base and firmly position the two-piece lid. Run
the machine for 30 seconds. Empty the container. Repeat this step.
2. To Rinse: Fill the container 3/4 full with warm (43˚C) water, do not add soap. Return the
container to the motor base and firmly position the two-piece lid. Run the machine for
30 seconds. Empty the container.
3. If any solid residue remains, remove the blade assembly and wash all container parts in
warm soapy water. Rinse and drain. Reassemble before the next step. Do not soak the
blade agitator assembly.
4. To Sanitise: If all solid residue is gone after Step 2 or after the completion of Step 3, fill the
container 3/4 full with a sanitising solution mix.*** Return the container to the motor base
and firmly position the two-piece lid. Run the machine on a high speed for 30 seconds.
Turn off the machine and allow the mixture to stand in the container for an additional
1 1/2 minutes. Pour out the mixture.
5. Return the container to the motor base and run it empty for an additional 5 seconds. Do not
rinse after sanitising. Allow the container to air dry.

IMPORTANT NOTES!
NOTE: The thermal protector may shut the motor off to protect it from overheating. To
restart, wait for the motor to cool down with the power off (up to 45 minutes). Cooling
may be quickened by placing the motor base in a cool spot. Unplug first. To speed up
the process, try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aimed at the bottom of the base.
When the thermal protector shuts off the motor, review your processing techniques and
your instructions.
Your recipes may be too thick (add liquid), be processed for too long at too low a speed
setting, or have too much material in them. If the motor seems to be overheating but
the thermal protector has not turned the machine off, stop the machine and remove the
container from the base.
Follow these instructions for the Two-Speed or Variable-Speed Drink Machines and
Vita-Preps: Set the dial to HIGH (No. 10). Turn the machine ON and let the machine run for
1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving part while in use.
Follow these instructions for the BarBoss and Timer Blenders: Set the timer for 20 seconds.
Turn the machine ON and let the machine run for 20 seconds. Repeat this step 3 times for a
total of 1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving parts while in use.

blades using the drive spindle at the bottom
of the container. If the blades spin freely with
no resistance, replace the blade assembly.
