IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: To avoid the risk of serious injury when using your
Vitamix® blender, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, SAFEGUARDS, AND
WARNINGS BEFORE OPERATING BLENDER.
1. Read all instructions.
2. 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 appliance is used by or near children or
incapacitated persons.
3. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put the blender base in
water or other liquid.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call
Vitamix Customer Service at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 or email
or mechanical adjustment. If purchased outside the U.S.A. or Canada, contact
your local Vitamix dealer.
7. Alteration or modification of any part of the blender base or container,
including the use of any part or parts that are not genuine authorized Vitamix
parts, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
8. The use of attachments not expressly authorized or sold by Vitamix for use
with this blender, including canning jars, may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
11. Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.
12. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
14. Blades are sharp. Handle or remove blade and blade assembly from 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 to the Vitamix
container.
15. 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 machine and may cause injury.
16. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
17. Always operate blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place. The lid plug
should be removed only when adding ingredients and when using the tamper.
18. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, use caution; spray or escaping
steam may cause scalding and burns. Do not fill container to the maximum
capacity. 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.
19. When making nut butters 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 dangerous overheating.

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

•
•
•
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.

•
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.
