2-Part Lid: Your new machine has our latest

lid design. It is easy to put on and take o,

and easy to clean. Always use the lid and the

lid plug when the machine is in operation.

CAUTION: Lids are not

interchangeable between

dierent container styles,

types, and sizes.

Snap the lid onto the container and leave in

place for a few minutes. Once the lid has been

left on the container, it will be much easier to

lock or remove.

Lid Plug: Insert through the lid and secure by

turning clockwise. Remove the lid plug to use

the tamper or add ingredients.

To Lock the Lid in Place:

1. Position lid on container with lid

ﬂaps midway between the spout and

the handle.

2. Push the lid onto the container until it

locks in place.

3. The lid must always be secured when

processing, especially hot liquids that

may scald.

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

DO NOT reach into container

while machine is running.

To Remove the Lid: Lift up on one lid ﬂap while holding the container securely.

To Remove the Lid Plug: Rotate the lid plug counterclockwise from the “locked”

to “unlocked” position and lift out.

Container: Ounces, cups, and milliliters are clearly marked. A second dry blade container is available

for purchase to grind grain and knead bread dough. The blade is marked “D.” Grinding grains will

cloud the lower three inches (8 cm) of the container.

Automatic Overload Protection: Your Vitamix motor is designed to protect itself from overheating. If

the motor shuts off, follow these instructions:

• 120 Volt machines: Turn off the power switch for up to 45 minutes to reset. Reset time will be

extended if high room temperatures exist. To reduce the reset time, unplug the machine, remove

the container, and blow air into the center section

of the bottom with a hair dryer on the cool setting.

• 220 Volt machines: 220/240 motors are equipped

with a reset button. If the motor shuts off, press the

black reset button on the bottom of the machine.

Power Cord: Your machine is equipped with a long

power cord. Store the unused portion neatly underneath.

Bottom View / Cord Wrap: Plastic cord retainers hold

the cord securely. There is no need to unscrew the cord

retainers to let out more cord. They are flexible,

and return to position after the cord is lifted out.

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

DO NOT reach into container

while machine is running.

Wet Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids, including juice, frozen mixtures,

sauces, soups, purees, batters, and for wet chopping. The wet blades can also grind grain

and knead dough, but they are not quite as efficient as the dry blades in this application.

If used for grinding, your container will mar and become cloudy; see instructions for dry

container use.

Dry Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D” and are designed specifically

for grinding dry materials such as grains, cereal, and coffee, and are also used for

kneading bread dough. The dry blades can NOT process liquids efficiently. If you grind

herbs on a regular basis, you may wish to purchase a separate dry blade container and

replace blades as needed.

ABOUT THE BLADES

The Vitamix machine comes standard with the wet blade container. The blade is identified by a “W” for

wet. This blade is used for most of your recipes. Additional containers with wet or dry blades may be

purchased separately.

CAUTION

Moving Parts

May Become

Hot With

Extended

Use.

DO NOT touch.

WARNING

The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/or frozen mixtures that cannot be

processed in a regular blender. Using the tamper maintains circulation by preventing air pockets from

forming. While the machine is running, and only through the lid plug opening, use the tamper to press

ingredients into the blades as you make frozen ice creams and nut butters, or purée fruits and vegetables.

• The splash disk (near the top of the tamper) and lid prevent

the tamper from hitting the blades when the lid is secured properly

in the locked position.

• The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the

tamper is used during blending.

• Do not use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds

(to avoid overheating).

• If the food does not circulate, the machine may have trapped an air

bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug while making sure the lid stays

firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting the tamper through

the lid plug opening.

• Holding the tamper straight down may not always help the ingredients

circulate. If need be, point the tamper toward the side or corner of

the container.

HOW TO USE THE TAMPER

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

DO NOT put hands, spatulas, etc. in the

container while the machine is running or

while the container is still on the base.

CONTROL PANEL

1. On/Off Switch: Push up to turn On (|). Push down to turn Off (O).

2. High/Variable Switch: High () is the fastest speed available. Switch to Variable ( ) to activate

all of the lower variable speeds.

Always make sure that the High/Variable Switch is set to Variable ( ) before pushing the On/Off

Switch to the On (|)position. Do not start your machine on High () speed.

3. Variable Speed Dial: Selects many speed settings. It is active only when the High/Variable Switch

is set in the Variable ( ) position.

HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS

Always start the machine with the left switch down in the Variable ( ) position and with the center

Variable Speed Dial on 1. Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the recipe

used. If a recipe calls for processing on High (), slowly rotate the Variable Speed Dial to 10 and then push

the High/Variable Switch up into the High ()position. Do not begin processing on Variable 10 or directly

on the High ()setting.

Process on the High () setting for as much of the processing time as possible to make whole food juices,

soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butters and for grinding grains. Processing times will generally

be less than one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). High ()speed provides the best quality

of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables, and grains to a smooth

lump-free consistency.

TIP: Blending too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic

Overload Protection to turn the machine off. Use the High ()speed as often as possible to achieve the

most uniform consistency. Blending on High ()speed also maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to

avoid overheating.

When on the High (), if the food does not circulate, the machine may be overloaded or may have trapped

an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air

bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening. If circulation problems continue, reduce the

machine speed. A lower speed may allow food to circulate when a higher speed does not. Once the food is

circulating freely, increase the speed back to High ()and continue processing.

Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with

Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.

Use Caution; escaping steam or

splashes may scald.

Lock the lid. This will prevent

expansion from aecting the

position of the lid when the

machine is turned on.

Start on Variable 1, slowly

increase to 10.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Wet Blade Container

Designed for processing liquids including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purees, batters, and for

wet chopping.

Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is set to 1

Load the container before placing it on the motor base. Place liquids and soft foods in the container

ﬁrst, solid items and ice last. Although not necessary for blending, you may want to cut or break food

into smaller pieces for more precise measuring of ingredient

Securely fasten the 2-part lid. Always use the complete 2-part lid when blending (unless the tamper is

inserted through the lid plug opening). Especially when blending hot ingredients, make sure the lid is

securely latched.

With the motor o, set the wet blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering

pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base

without a container properly in place

Start with the High/Variable Switch in the Variable ( ) position. Always start your machine on variable

speed 1. Activate the machine by turning the On/O Switch to On (|) then slowly increase to the desired

speed. Your container will shift and get into an aligned position.

Take proper care when handling and processing hot ingredients and making hot soups and sauces.

Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than standard appliances. Until you are

accustomed to the machine, count your time carefully to avoid over-processing

After turning the machine o, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container

from the motor bas

Dry Blade Container

If purchased, your dry blade container should only be used for hard, dry materials such as grain, and for

kneading dough.

Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is set to 1.

Securely fasten the 2-part lid. Always use the complete 2-part lid when blending (unless the tamper is

inserted through the lid plug opening).

With the motor o, set the dry blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad.

Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a

container properly in place.

Start with the High/Variable Switch in the Variable ( ) position. Always start your machine on

variable speed 1. Activate the machine by turning the On/O Switch to On (|) then slowly increase

to the desired speed. Your container will shift and get into an aligned position.

After turning the machine o, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container

from the motor base.

Due to the machine’s speed, and the sometimes-short processing times, count your time carefully to

avoid over-processing

Grinding dry material for more than two minutes could damage your machine. Regular use may result in

cosmetic marring of the container and cause the blades to become dull over time

Grinding some herbs may release volatile oils, causing the container to discolor permanently. Others

have strong odors that may linger in the container, affecting the flavor of other foods. The grinding of

some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to dull over time, or the container to crack.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Disconnect power before

cleaning machine.

Failure to follow instructions can

cause death or electrical shock.
