CARE & CLEANING

Motor Base/Control Panel

1.Unplug the power cord.

2.Wash the outside surface with a damp soft cotton cloth moistened with a mild solution of warm water* and nonabrasive detergent or nonabrasive liquid spray cleaner. NEVER IMMERSE MOTOR BASE IN

WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

3.For models with electronic controls: Be careful to not scratch or scrub the display window on the control panel. Use a soft cloth to wipe the control panel area clean. The display window area will scratch when contacted with a scouring pad or sharp object.

4.For models with switches: Thoroughly clean switches so that they move freely. They may become sticky. Use a wet cloth, moistened with water* and a mild detergent, to clean around the edges of the switch paddles until they function freely. Work the switches back and forth a few times to loosen any dried residue under switch. Leaving switches sticky will damage or burn out the switches. Clean carefully, using caution not to allow water or other liquids to infiltrate the switch.

5.Dry with a soft cotton cloth.

*Be sure to wring excess water out of cloth or sponge when cleaning around the controls or any electrical part.

Lid

Separate the lid and plug (two-piece lid only). Wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse clean under running water and dry. Reassemble before use.

Container

For maximum container life, DO NOT wash in dishwasher.

1.TO CLEAN: Fill container 1/4 full with warm (110°F/43°C) water and add a couple drops of liquid dishwashing detergent.** Return container to motor base and firmly position the two-piece lid. Run machine for 30 seconds. Empty container. Repeat this step.

2.TO RINSE: Fill container 3/4 full with warm (110°F/43°C) water – DO NOT add soap. Return container to motor base and firmly position the two-piece lid. Run machine for 30 seconds. Empty container.

3.If any solid residue remains, remove the blade agitator assembly and wash all container parts in warm soapy water. Rinse and drain. Reassemble before next step. DO NOT soak the blade agitator assembly.

4.TO SANITIZE: If all solid residue is gone after step 2 or after completion of step 3, fill container 3/4 full with a sanitizing solution mix.*** Return container to motor base and firmly position the two-piece lid. Run machine on a HIGH speed for 30 seconds. Turn machine off and allow mixture to stand in the container for an additional 1-1/2 minutes. Pour out bleach mixture.

5.Return container to motor base and run machine empty for an additional 5 seconds. DO NOT rinse after sanitizing. Allow container to air dry.

**To prolong container life, Vita-Mix recommends using soaps with a low Ph balance. Automatic dishwashing is not recommended.

***Recommended sanitizing solution: 1.5 tsp. / 7.4 ml institutional or household bleach in 2 qt. / 2.0 Ltr. water.

Portion Blending System (PBS) Ice Bin

1.Unplug the power cord.

2.TO CLEAN: Empty out the remaining ice before cleaning. Use an ice scoop to remove as much ice as possible from above the ice shelf.

3.Remove the ice shelf and wash in a cleaning solution. Rinse clean under running water and dry.

4.Fill a clean blender container with 5 cups / 1.2 Ltr. of a cleaning solution.

5.With the ice chute, splash guard and ice shelf removed, slowly pour the cleaning solution into the ice bin in a circular motion, as close to and as high up the inside walls as possible, without splashing solution on the outside of the unit. NOTE: Some of the cleaning solution will dispense out of the blade area and above and behind the container pad. This is normal.

6.Immediately replace the container onto the container pad and replace the ice bin lid on top of the ice bin. Press and hold the shaver button for 30 seconds to run the shaver and circulate the cleaning solution while cleaning fluid is still in the ice bin.

7.Release the shaver button and allow the cleaning solution to drain out the ice bin.

8.Using a soft cloth soaked in the cleaning solution, manually wipe as much of the ice bin and shaver as possible. Use caution when wiping near the shaver blade.

9.Repeat steps 4-8 a second time with the cleaning solution.

10.TO RINSE: Repeat steps 4-8 two times with clean water.

11.TO SANITIZE: Repeat steps 4-8 two times using a sanitizing solution. Recommended sanitizing solution is 1.5 tsp. / 7.4 ml institutional or household bleach in 2 qts. / 2.0 Ltr. water.

12.DO NOT rinse or wipe down the inside of the ice bin after sanitizing. Allow ice bin to air dry with the lid removed.
