Container:

 Ounces, cups, and milliliters 

are clearly marked.

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 when 

the machine is in operation. 

 

CAUTION:

 

Lids and tampers are 

not interchangeable between different 

container styles, types, and sizes. 

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 add 

ingredients.

To Lock the Lid in Place:

 Position lid on 

container with lid flaps midway between 

the spout and the handle. Push the lid 

onto the container until it locks in place. 

The lid must always be secured when 

processing, especially hot liquids that 

may scald. 

Never operate the blender 

without checking to make sure the lid is 

securely locked in place.
To Remove the Lid:

 Lift up on one lid 

flap while holding the container securely.

To Remove the Lid Plug: 

Rotate the lid 

plug counterclockwise from the “locked” 

to “unlocked” position and lift out.

Automatic Overload Protection:  

Your Vitamix motor is designed to  

protect itself from overheating. If the  

motor shuts off, follow these instructions: 
Turn off the power switch for up to  

45 minutes to reset. 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 center section of the 

bottom with a hair dryer on the  

cool setting.

Power Cord:

 Your machine is equipped  

with a long power cord. Store the unused 

portion neatly underneath.

Bottom View / Cord Wrap:

 Plastic cord 

retainers hold the cord securely. They are 

flexible, and return to position after the  

cord is lifted out.
