assembly in the container with extreme
care to avoid injury. To reduce the risk of
injury, never place a blade assembly on the
motor base unless assembled to the Vitamix
container.
22. Care should be taken when handling the sharp
cutting blades, emptying the container and
during cleaning.
23. Do not leave foreign objects, such as spoons,
forks, knives or the lid plug, in the container
as this will damage the blades and other
components when starting the blender and
may cause injury.
24. To avoid injury and damage, keep hands and
utensils, other than the tamper provided,
out of container while blending. The cover
must remain in place when using the tamper
through the lid plug opening. A utensil may
be used in the container only when the it has
been removed from the motor base.
25. Never attempt to operate with damaged
blades.

plug firmly in place. The lid plug should be
removed only when adding ingredients and
when using the tamper.
28. When blending hot liquids or ingredients
in the 64 oz. container, use caution; spray
or escaping steam may cause burns. Do
not fill container to the maximum capacity.
Always begin processing on the lowest speed
setting, variable speed 1. Keep hands and
other exposed skin away from lid opening to
prevent possible burns.
29. DO NOT blend hot liquids in the cups.
30. When making nut butters or oil-based foods,
do not process for more than one minute
after the mixture starts to circulate in the
container. Processing for longer periods can
cause overheating.
31. Make sure that the container or cup and blade
base are flush with the centering pad to
ensure that the drive spline is engaged with
the drive socket before operating.
32. Make sure to use the seal on the blade base
and tighten the cup adequately to the blade
base before blending.
