WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

DO NOT reach into container while machine is running.

To Remove the Lid: Lift up on one lid flap while holding the container securely.

To Remove the Lid Plug: Rotate the lid plug counterclockwise from the “locked” to “unlocked” position and lift out.

Container: Ounces, cups, and milliliters are clearly marked. A second dry blade container is available for purchase to grind grain and knead bread dough. The blade is marked “D.” Grinding grains will cloud the lower three inches (8 cm) of the container.

Tamper: The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/or frozen mixtures

that cannot be processed in a regular blender. Using the tamper maintains circulation by preventing air pockets from forming. While the machine is running, and only through the lid plug opening, use the tamper to press ingredients into the blades as you make frozen ice creams and nut butters, or purée fruits and vegetables. Refer to “How to Use the Tamper” on page 10.

Automatic Overload Protection: Your Vitamix motor is designed to protect itself from overheating. If the motor shuts off, follow these instructions:

120 Volt machines: Turn off the power switch for up to 45 minutes to reset. Reset time will be extended if high room temperatures exist.

To reduce the reset time, unplug the machine, remove the container, and blow air into the center section of the bottom with a hair dryer on the cool setting.

220 Volt machines: 220/240 motors are equipped with a reset button. If the motor shuts off, press the black reset button on the bottom of the machine.

On/Off Switch: The On/Off (or Power) Switch is on the right-hand side of the machine base. The On/Off Switch controls the power to the machine. The machine will not run when the On/Off Switch is in the Off position.

Power Cord: Your machine is equipped with a long power cord. Store the unused portion neatly underneath.

Bottom View / Cord Wrap: Plastic cord retainers hold the cord securely. There is no need to unscrew the cord retainers to let out more cord. They are flexible, and return to position after the cord is lifted out.

7500 specifications

The Vita-Mix 7500 is a powerful and versatile blending machine designed for both home and professional use. This high-performance blender is part of Vita-Mix's legacy of durable and efficient kitchen appliances that cater to the demands of culinary enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals alike.

One of the standout features of the Vita-Mix 7500 is its powerful motor. Equipped with a 2.2 peak horsepower motor, this blender can easily handle a wide range of ingredients, from soft fruits to tough leafy greens and even ice. This ensures a smooth and consistent blend every time, allowing users to create everything from silky smoothies to hearty soups and sauces.

In addition to its strong motor, the Vita-Mix 7500 incorporates advanced sound dampening technology. This design feature significantly reduces noise during operation, making it a quieter option compared to many other blenders on the market. This is especially advantageous for shared spaces or early morning smoothie-making when noise levels are a concern.

The 7500 series also comes with a low-profile container, which is designed to fit comfortably under most kitchen cabinets. This 64-ounce container is perfect for large batches, yet its design allows for efficient blending of smaller quantities as well. The container is made from BPA-free Eastman Tritan copolyester, ensuring safety while providing clarity for monitoring the blend's consistency.

With its variable speed dial, users can easily adjust the blending speed during operation, offering total control over the texture of the blend. Additionally, the patented Thomas-Thermal technology allows the blender to achieve high temperatures, making it capable of cooking hot soups using friction alone.

The Vita-Mix 7500 is designed with easy cleaning in mind. Simply add a few drops of dish soap and water to the container and run the blender on high for a quick self-cleaning cycle. This feature ensures that cleanup is straightforward, allowing users to spend more time enjoying their creations and less time scrubbing complex blender components.

Overall, the Vita-Mix 7500 combines power, versatility, and ease of use in a well-designed blender that stands as a worthy investment for anyone serious about cooking and nutrition. Whether making nut butters, blending frozen treats, or preparing smoothies, this blender is equipped to tackle any task with ease and efficiency.
