  1. Read all instructions.
  2. Do not use the blender for anything other than its intended use.
  3. Not intended for use by or near children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any blender is used by or near children or incapacitated persons. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the blender.
  4. WARNING: To avoid inadvertent activation, switch off the appliance and unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
  5. CAUTION: To avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, power to this blender must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
  6. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put the blender base in water or other liquid.
  7. Always check that the blender is OFF before plugging the cable into a power socket. To disconnect, turn OFF the blender, then remove the plug from the power socket.
  8. Illuminated icons and numbers on the control panel indicate that it is ready to operate. Avoid inadvertent contact with the touch screen.
  9. Avoid contact with moving parts.
  10. Do not operate any blender with a damaged cable or plug or after the blender malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call Vitamix Customer Service at 0800 587 0019 or +1 440 235 4840 or email service@vitamix.com at once for examination, repair, replacement, or adjustment. If purchased outside the U.S.A. or Canada, contact your local Vitamix dealer.
  11. GFI circuit breakers might be installed in your kitchen. Look for them in outlets near sinks. If the blender won’t operate, unplug the blender. Reset the wall outlet or circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker continues to trip, unplug the blender from the outlet. Allow the blender to sit for 24 hours before attempting to use it again. Contact Vitamix Customer Services if the problem persists.
  12. Alteration or modification of any part of the blender, including the use of any part or parts that are not genuine authorized Vitamix parts, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury and will void your warranty.
  13. The use of attachments not expressly authorized or sold by Vitamix for use with this blender, including preserving jars, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. Use in this way will void your warranty.
  14. Do not use outdoors.
  15. Do not let the cable hang over the edge of the table or counter.
  16. Do not place the motor base or container on or near a hot gas or electric hob, or in or on a heated oven.
  17. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A rubber 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. To reduce the risk of injury, never place a blade assembly on the motor base unless assembled in the Vitamix container.
  20. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying the container, and cleaning.
  21. 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.
  22. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
  23. Never attempt to operate with the centering pad removed.
  24. Always operate the blender with the lid and lid plug firmly in place. Only remove the lid plug to add ingredients and to use the tamper.
  25. DO NOT remove the lid while the blades are rotating. Only remove the lid plug to add ingredients and to use the tamper. If the lid is removed during operation, the motor base will stop and will not run until the lid and lid plug are in place on the container.
  26. DO NOT defeat the lid interlock mechanism.
  27. Do not fill the 2-liter container, 0.6-liter cup, or 240-ml bowl above the marked maximum capacity line to avoid the risk of injury due to damage to the lid and container.
  28. When blending hot liquids or ingredients in the 2-litre (large) container, use caution; spray or escaping steam may cause burns. Always begin processing on the lowest speed setting, variable-speed 1. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent possible burns.
  29. DO NOT use your 0.6-litre cup or 240-ml bowl 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.
  30. DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than 75 seconds when blending with a cup and blade base.
  31. If a cup becomes warm to the touch or steams or vents, immediately stop blending ingredients and turn off or unplug the blender. Allow the cup and ingredients to cool to room temperature before removing the blade base.
  32. DO NOT use the cups (including the blade base or lids) in the microwave.
  33. When making nut butter 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.
  34. 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.
  35. Make sure to use the seal on the blade base and tighten the cup adequately to the blade base before blending.
  36. Never place the blade base onto the motor base without the cup attached to the blade base.
  37. The blender will reset itself in the event of a power line surge and the counter will reset to ‘0’. This is a normal action for the blender to avoid hazards if used as intended. The timer is only for the user’s reference and is not considered an essential function of the blender’s operation.
