Important Safeguards

1.Read all instructions.

2.To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put motor base in water or other liquid.

3.Close adult supervision is necessary when appliance is used by or near children.

4.Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet when the Vita-Mix®blender is not in use, before disassembling, putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning other than washing the container.

5.Never contact moving parts, especially the blades.

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 Vita-Mix Service, (800) 4DRINK4, (800-437-4654) or (440) 235-0214 at once for possible replacement, examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment. If you live outside the USA, contact your Vita-Mix Distributor.

7.The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Vita-Mix Corporation may cause fire, shock, or injury.

8.Do not use outdoors.

9.Do not let the power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10.Keep hands and utensils out of container while motor is running to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury and/or damage to the Vita-Mix blender. A rubber scraper may be used, but only when the Vita-Mix Drink blender is not running. The tamper may be used while motor is running with the main part of the lid in place.

11.WARNING: Blade is sharp. Handle carefully.

Never try to remove blade while container is sitting on the motor base.

Do not operate with loose, nicked or damaged blade - replace immediately.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, never place blade assembly on motor base without blender container properly attached.

12.The maximum capacity is equivalent to the ounces listed on the container, i.e. 64 oz. (2 liter), 48 oz. (1.4 liter) and substantially less with thick mixtures.

13.Container should not be more than 2/3 full when the tamper is left in place while blending. Do not exceed 30 seconds of continuous blending with tamper in place.

14.When making peanut butter (or other nut butters, or oil based foods) do not process for more than one minute after mixture starts circulating. Over-processing will cause the mixture in the container to overheat.

15.CAUTION: Cooling problems resulting in thermal shut-off and eventual motor damage may result if machine is operated in sound chambers other than those approved by Vita-Mix.

16.Always operate the Vita-Mix blender with a lid in place.

17.The maximum capacity is equivlaent to the ounces (liters) listed on the container, i.e. 64 oz. (2 liter), 48 oz. (1.4 liter), and substantially less with thick mixtures.

Important Safeguards

18.CAUTION: On all units with timers the light in the front panel START/STOP switch, when lit, indicates the power to blender is ON and blender could start. Turn power off before touching movable parts.

19.WARNING: When processing hot liquids:

The 2-part latching lid must be securely in place. This allows steam to escape naturally, and will prevent the lid from coming off when the machine is turned on.

Do not start on HIGH speed. Always start hot liquids on LOW speed then switch to HIGH speed while the machine is running.

Use caution with hot liquids. Spraying from under the lid plug can occur, or escaping steam may cause scalding.

Do not process hot liquids with the Vita-Mix non-latching lid.

Save These Safety Instructions

Enjoy the safety of this grounded appliance. The Vita-Mix blender’s U.S. power cord comes equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet (Figure A).

Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the plug or power cord.

Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded through the building wiring. With a properly grounded two prong wall outlet, ground the machine by attaching the tab on the adapter to the wall outlet cover by means of the screw in the center of the cover (Figure B).
