BLADE ASSEMBLY

WARNINGS!

Never use a blade assembly with loose, damaged, nicked, or missing components.

Caution: Do not remove blades or blade assembly unless absolutely necessary! Never attempt to take the blade assembly itself apart. This will void the warranty.

Blade Agitator Assembly. The blade assembly includes a precision-hardened stainless steel blade with enclosed steel ball bearings for maximum durability. The rugged blade assembly literally explodes molecules of food and ice in the container, helping every batch to homogenize

more effectively. The blade does not need to be removed

for normal cleaning. (Refer to the information below to

remove or replace.)

Drive Spline. Mates with drive socket on the motor base

to turn the blade. Note: Removing and replacing your

container while the coupling is still rotating will strip the drive spline “teeth”. (This part is NOT removable.)

Retainer Nut. Must be snug. Order the available Retainer Nut Wrench for best results. (Refer to the information below to remove or replace.)

Removing Blade Assembly

At times, it may be necessary to give your blades additional cleaning. An easy-to-use blade assembly removal wrench (Item #15596) may be purchased through your Vita-Mix Distributor.

Turn the container upside down and grip firmly. Insert retainer

into the container bottom and align with flat sides of container

 

opening. Place retainer nut on and hand tighten. Last, carefully

 

turn clockwise until secure, using wrench. Do not force. If it is

This capability eliminates the need for cooking on the stove, streamlining meal preparation while retaining essential nutrients.

Another standout characteristic of the Vita-Mix VM0141 is its user-friendly control panel. The variable speed feature allows users to adjust the blending speed according to their needs, providing complete control over texture and consistency. Additionally, the pulse feature gives users the option to create coarse textures, perfect for salsas or chunky soups.

Durability is a hallmark of the VM0141. Constructed with high-quality materials, this blender is built to endure daily use, whether in a busy kitchen or at home. The blades are designed to last and resist dulling over time, ensuring that the blender remains a reliable kitchen companion for years.

Cleaning the Vita-Mix VM0141 is also a breeze. The self-cleaning feature allows users to add a drop of dish soap and warm water, and the blender takes care of the rest. This convenience makes it easy to switch between recipes without the hassle of extensive cleanup.
