Save These Safety Instructions
Enjoy the safety of this grounded machine. The Vita-Mix blender’s U.S. power cord
comes equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-
prong wall outlet (Figure A). This cord will vary for countries outside the United States.
Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the plug or power cord.
Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded through the
building wiring. With a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet, ground the machine by
attaching the tab on the adapter to the wall outlet cover by means of the screw in the
center of the cover (Figure B).
