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
dierent 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.

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 aecting the
position of the lid when the
machine is turned on.
Start on Variable 1, slowly
increase to 10.
