Important Instructions For Safe Use - Vitamix Ascent Serie Manuel D'instructions

WARNING: To avoid the risk of serious injury when using your Vitamix® blender, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following. READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS, SAFEGUARDS AND
WARNINGS BEFORE OPERATING THE BLENDER.
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not use the blender for anything other than its intended use.
3. Not intended for use by or near children or persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any blender is used by
or near children or incapacitated persons. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the blender.
4. WARNING: To avoid inadvertent activation, switch off the appliance and
unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning.
5. CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the
thermal cut-out, power to this blender must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that
is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
6. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the blender base in
water or other liquid.
7. Always check that the blender is OFF before plugging the cable into a
power socket. To disconnect, turn OFF the blender, then remove the plug
from the power socket.
8. Illuminated icons and numbers on the control panel indicate that it is
ready to operate. Avoid inadvertent contact with the touch screen.
9. Avoid contact with moving parts.
10. Do not operate any blender with a damaged cable or plug or after the
blender malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call
Vitamix Customer Service on 0800 587 0019 or +1 440 235 4840 or
email service@vitamix.com at once for examination, repair, replacement
or adjustment. If purchased outside the U.S.A. or Canada, contact your
local Vitamix dealer.
11. GFI circuit breakers might be installed in your kitchen. Look for them in
outlets near sinks. If the blender won't operate, unplug the blender. Reset
the wall outlet or circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker continues to trip,
unplug the blender from the outlet. Allow the blender to sit for 24 hours
before attempting to use it again. Contact Vitamix Customer Services if
the problem persists.
12. Alteration or modification of any part of the blender, including the use
of any part or parts that are not genuine authorised Vitamix parts, may
cause fire, electric shock or injury and will void your warranty.
13. The use of attachments not expressly authorised or sold by Vitamix for
use with this blender, including preserving jars, may cause fire, electric
shock or injury. Use in this way will void your warranty.
14. Do not use outdoors.
15. Do not let the cable hang over the edge of the table or counter.
16. Do not place the motor base or container on or near a hot gas or electric
hob, in or on a heated oven.
17. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to reduce
the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A rubber
scraper or spatula may be used, but only when the blender is not running.
18. The tamper provided must be used only when the main part of the lid
is in place.
19. Blades are sharp. Clean around the blade 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.
20. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying
the container and during cleaning.
21. 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.
22. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
23. Never attempt to operate with the centring pad removed.
24. Always operate the blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place. Only
remove the lid plug to add ingredients and to use the tamper.
25. DO NOT remove the lid while blades are rotating. Only remove the lid
plug to add ingredients and to use the tamper. If the lid is removed
during operation, the motor base will stop and will not run until the lid
and lid plug are in place on the container.
26. DO NOT defeat the lid interlock mechanism.
27. Do not fill the 2-litre container, 0.6-litre cup or 240-ml bowl above the
marked maximum capacity line to avoid risk of injury caused by damage
to the lid and container.

28. When blending hot liquids or ingredients in the 2-litre (large) container,
use caution; spray or escaping steam may cause burns. Always begin
processing on the lowest speed setting, variable-speed 1. Keep hands
and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent possible
burns.
29. DO NOT use your 0.6-litre cup or 240-ml bowl to heat ingredients or to
blend hot liquids. Heated ingredients and liquids may create internal
pressure which could cause the cup to burst and cause injury.
30. DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than 75 seconds when
blending with a cup and blade base.
31. If a cup becomes warm to the touch or steams or vents, immediately stop
blending ingredients and turn off or unplug the blender. Allow the cup and
ingredients to cool to room temperature before removing the blade base.
32 DO NOT use the cups (including the blade base or lids) in the microwave.
33. 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 over-heating.
34. Make sure that the container or cup and blade base are flush with the
centring pad to ensure that the drive spline is engaged with the drive
socket before operating.
35. Make sure to use the seal on the blade base and tighten the cup
adequately to the blade base before blending.
36. Never place the blade base onto the motor base without the cup
attached to the blade base.
37. The blender will reset itself in the event of power line surge and the
counter will reset to '0'. This is a normal action for the blender to avoid
hazards, if used as intended. The timer is only for the user's reference and
is not considered an essential function of the blender's operation.
