Error Codes – If you see an error code on the display, make a note of the numbers on the
display after the error code. Call Vitamix Customer Services or your distributor for help with
the issue.
Motor – The motor is designed to protect itself from overheating. If the blender does not start immediately, check to make sure that you have plugged in the
unit and that the On/Off switch is On. If the motor has overheated, allow the motor to cool for 20-45 minutes.
Tips to prevent 'overloading' your blender:
• When learning how to use the blender, we recommend using only Vitamix recipes .
• Do not process recipes at lower speeds than recommended.
• Do not process recipes at higher speeds than recommended.
• Do not process recipes for longer than recommended.
• Use your tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving around and through the blades.
Tamper – Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles, types and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied with your blender.
The container should not be more than two thirds full when the tamper is used. To avoid overheating, DO NOT use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive
seconds.
