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
variable speed control 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.
Interlock Protection
Refer to page 7 for examples that the blender will need to be reset if the interlock is not properly engaged.
