used while motor is running.

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

i.e., 32 oz. / 0,9 L and substantially less with thick mixtures.
14. Container should not be more than 2/3 full when the accelerator tool is
left in place while blending. Do not exceed 30 seconds of continuous
blending with accelerator tool in place.
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 Vitamix.
16. Always operate the Vitamix machine with a lid in place.
17. CAUTION: The light in the front panel Start/Stop switch, when lit, indicates the

Save These Safety Instructions
• The Vitamix blender's U.S.A. power cord comes equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet (Figure A).
This cord will vary for countries outside the United States of America.
• 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).
WARNINGS!
Three-prong adapters are not to be used in Canada.
