NOTE: Switches will become sticky from use. Use a wet cloth or sponge to flush and clean in the groove around the water-shielded switches. You may also lightly spray the surface around the switches with an all-purpose cleaner such as Cinch® or 409® and work the switches back and forth a few times to loosen any dried residue under switch. Dirty switches may burn out.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: Do not let mixtures, liquids and food products dry within the container. Rinse throughout use. Drying may lock around the blade and weaken/tear the bearings seal when restarted. Do not place containers in the freezer. Extremely low temperature combined with hot ingredients and/or the immediate rapid action of the blade may crack the container. Due to the nature of polycarbonates, microwaving and automatic dishwashing are not recommended. Follow the cleaning instructions on page 15.

Motor Base

1.Unplug the power cord.

2.Wash outside surface with a damp, soft cloth or sponge, which has been rinsed in a mild solution of liquid dish soap (Ivory Liquid® or equivalent) in warm water. NEVER IMMERSE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

3.Thoroughly clean switches so that they work freely. They will become sticky from use. Use a wet cloth or sponge* to flush and clean in the groove around the water shielded switches. You may also lightly spray the surface around the switches with an all-purpose cleaner such as Cinch® or 409® and work the switches back and forth a few times to loosen any dried residue under switch.

4.Polish with a soft cloth.

*Note: 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, then wash in warm soapy water. Rinse clean under running water and dry. Reassemble before use. (See pages 6 and 7).

Container

1.To clean: Fill pitcher 1/4 full with warm (110˚F/43˚C) water and add a couple drops of dish soap**. Return container to motor base and firmly position the two part lid. Run machine for 30 seconds. Empty container. Repeat this step.

**Note: To prolong polycarbonate container life, Vita-Mix recommends using soaps with a low Ph balance, such as a manual pot and pan detergent. Due to the nature of polycarbonates, automatic dishwashing is not recommended.

2.Fill pitcher 3/4 full with warm (110˚F/43˚C) water (do not add soap). Return container to motor base and firmly position the two part lid. Run machine for 30 seconds. Empty container.

3.If any solid residue remains, remove the blade agitator assembly (see page 10) and wash all container parts in warm soapy water. Rinse and drain. Reassemble before next step.

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 part lid. Run machine on HIGH for 30 seconds. Empty container.

5.Return container to motor base and run machine empty for an additional 5 seconds. Do not rinse after sanitizing.

***Recommended sanitizing solution: 1-1/2 teaspoons Chlorox® institutional or house- hold bleach in 2 quarts (2 liter) water.
