lending Tips
1. If your recipe freezes up, try reducing the amount of ice. Compared to other blenders,
you do not need as much ice to make an equally frozen drink in a Touch & Go
TM
Blending Station.

2. Place liquids and soft foods in your container first. Hard items and ice should be placed last.
3. Whole, hard or frozen ingredients should be small. Solid frozen fruit is extremely difficult to
blend. For best results use semi-frozen fruit. Using same size batches of semi-frozen fruit
and ice will keep your drinks consistent. If you notice chunks, re-evaluate the batch size.
4. When creating recipes, always allow for enough liquid to ease the blending process.
For recipes with minimal liquid, use the Speed Control buttons to run the machine on its
lowest settings until it is processing smoothly. Finish blending by using one of the Pre-Set
Programs that best matches the drinks viscosity.
5. When overheating occurs, review your techniques and instructions. The motor may be
getting hot when your recipes are too thick. Consider adding more liquid and consult
Vita-Mix, or your Vita-Mix distributor, for further assistance.
Maintenance Tips:
• Never bang the container against a surface to loosen the ingredients. Remove the
container from the base and use a rubber spatula to remove thick mixtures from the bottom
of your container.
• Never shake or rattle a container in use while seated on the motor base.
• Never remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop.
• Never start the motor before the container is in place.
