Motor Base/Control Panel
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Gently 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. Thoroughly clean switches so that they work freely. They may become sticky from
use. Use a wet cloth, moistened with water* and a mild detergent, to clean around
the edges of the switch paddles until they function freely. 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.
4. Dry with a soft cotton cloth.
Lid
Separate the lid and plug. 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 assembly (see page 12) 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 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
*
Be sure to wring excess water out of cloth or sponge when
cleaning around the controls or any electrical part.
** To prolong container life, Vitamix® recommends using soaps with a
low Ph balance, such as a liquid dishwashing detergent (Ivory Liquid®).
*** Recommended sanitizing solution: 1.5 tsp. / 7,4 ml institutional or
household bleach in 2 qt. / 2,0 L water.
