• On all units, the built-in thermal protector keeps track of how hot the motor gets and will warn the
user and eventually shut down the motor if the motor is overheating. When overheated, the display
will instruct the user to remove the container and run the machine until cool. This takes about two
minutes. See page 25, “Cooling the Motor,” for complete instructions. When the thermal protector
shuts the motor off, review your processing techniques and your instructions. Your recipes may be
too thick or have too much material in them. Consider adding more liquid and consult Vita-Mix
