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.  
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.  
CAUTION  
Moving Parts  
May Become  
Hot With  
Extended Use.  
DO NOT touch.

TAMPER  
CAUTION  
Rotating Blades Can Cause Damage.  
Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between  
different container styles, types, and sizes. Use the  
tamper that was supplied with your machine.  
How to Determine the Tamper that Can Be Used with  
Your Container  
Each type of tamper is designed to be used safely and effectively with a particular  
container. If a tamper came with your container, it is the correct tamper for  
the container. If a tamper did not come with your container, or you want to  
determine if a tamper that you already have can be used with your new container,  
please compare your container with the containers and matching tampers to the  
illustration below.  
Before using the tamper during the blending process, verify that it is the  
proper tamper.  
64 oz. Short Containers use Tamper 016041 that is approximately  
9-¾ inches long.  
64 oz. Tall Containers uses Tamper 000760 that is approximately  
12-½ inches long.  
32 oz. and 48 oz. Containers use Tamper 015033 that is approximately  
11 inches long.  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
TAMPER  
To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on an empty  
container, remove the lid plug and insert the tamper. If it is the correct tamper  
it should easily fit into the opening but will not come in contact with the blades  
no matter how you move the tamper inside the container. IF THE TAMPER  
TOUCHES THE BLADES AT ANY ANGLE - DO NOT USE THE TAMPER WITH  
YOUR CONTAINER.  
If you do not have the correct tamper for your container, call Vitamix Customer  
services at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 or e-mail [email protected] to  
order a new tamper. If purchased outside the United States or Canada, contact  
your local Vitamix Dealer.

HOW TO USE THE TAMPER  
WARNING  
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.  
Lids and tampers are not  
interchangeable between different  
container styles, types, and sizes.  
Use the tamper that was supplied  
with your machine.  
IMPORTANT!  
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.  
Tamper  
Tamper  
Splash Disk  
Lid  
The container should not  
be more than two-thirds  
full when the tamper is used  
during blending.  
To avoid overheating during  
blending, DO NOT use the  
tamper for more than 30  
consecutive seconds.  
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.  
Blade Assembly  
Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate.  
If necessary, point the tamper toward the sides or corners of the container.  
DO NOT try to force the tamper deeper into the container.

HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS  
CAUTION  
Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with  
Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.  
Escaping steam, splashes or contents  
may scald.  
To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid  
plug securely in place prior to operating  
the machine.  
Always start on Variable 1, slowly increase  
to 10.  
Variable Speed  
Before using the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial  
marker pointed at the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.  
1. Rotate the dial right to Variable Speed 1.  
2. To activate the blending process, press down on the Start / Stop Switch.  
3. Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the  
recipe used.  
4. At the end of the blending cycle, rotate the Variable Speed dial back to the  
Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.  
Use the highest setting called out in the recipe 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). Higher speed  
provides the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit,  
whole fruits or vegetables, and grains to a smooth, lump-free consistency.  
Blending too long at too low of a speed setting will overheat the  
machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn off the  
machine. Blending on higher speed maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to  
avoid overheating.  
If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve  
Insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it “burps.” If this does not  
work, press the On / Off switch to stop the motor. Remove the container  
from the motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away  
from the blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and  
continue blending.
