2-Part Lid:
The 2-part lid is easy to put on and take off, and easy to clean. Always use the lid
and the lid plug during blending.
Snap the lid onto the container and leave in place for a few minutes. Once the lid has been left
on the container, it will be much easier to lock or remove.
Lid Plug: Insert through the lid and secure by turning clockwise. Remove the lid plug to use the
tamper or to add ingredients.
Tamper: The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/or frozen mixtures
that cannot be processed in a standard blender. Using the tamper maintains circulation by
preventing air pockets from forming during blending.
Circuit Breaker: When the circuit breaker pops out, it does so to protect the motor from
electrical overload. If this occurs, it can be easily reset by gently pushing it back into place.
Automatic Overload Protection: Your Vitamix motor is designed to protect itself from
overheating. If the motor shuts off, turn off the power switch for up to 45 minutes to reset. The
reset time will be extended if high room temperatures exist. To reduce the reset time, unplug
the machine, remove the container and blow air into the centre section of the bottom with a
hair dryer on the cool setting.
