Containers, Lids, Lid Plug, Tamper, Blade Base and Seals
• Are top rack dishwasher safe. The parts may become damaged if
they are not washed on the top rack.
• Remove the blade base from the container after blending. Clean the
threads on the blade base and the seal thoroughly to avoid ingredient
build up between blends. Ingredient build up might cause problems
when trying to remove the blade base from the container if it has
been attached and allowed to sit for a long period of time.
Motor Base
1.
Unplug the power cord.
Electrical shock hazard.
Disconnect power before cleaning machine. Do not immerse or
place the motor base in water.
Failure to follow instructions can cause death or electrical shock.
2.
Wash the outside surface with a damp soft cloth or sponge, which has been rinsed in a mild solution of
liquid detergent and warm water.
3. Thoroughly clean the control knob so it works freely. Moisten a cotton swab with a household degreaser
or cleaner and clean the grooves around the control.
4. Moisten a cotton swab and wipe out the overflow opening at the back of the motor base.
5. Immediately dry all surfaces. Polish surfaces with a soft cloth.
Automatic Overload Protection
Your Vitamix machine is equipped with automatic overload protection. This built-in feature is designed to
protect the motor and prevent your machine from overheating. When engaged, the automatic overload
protection will cause the motor to shut off and possibly emit a light odor. If the motor shuts off, turn the
control knob back to the stop symbol (O) and let the blender sit for 45 minutes to cool.
Do not fill the 40 ounce (1.2 L) container more than two-thirds full (approximately 28 ounces) when blending
thick texture recipes (I.e., hummus or nut butters). This allows room at the top of the container to use the
tamper, to add liquid to the blend if necessary and will reduce the chances of overheating the unit.
