place a blade assembly on the motor
base unless assembled to the Vitamix
container.
21.
Care should be taken when handling
the sharp cutting blades, emptying the
container and during cleaning.
22. Do not leave foreign objects, such as
spoons, forks, knives or the lid plug, in
the container as this will damage the
blades and other components when
starting the blender and may cause
injury.
23. Never attempt to operate with
damaged blades.
24.
Never attempt to operate with the
centering pad removed.
25.
Always operate blender with lid and
lid plug firmly in place. DO NOT remove
2-part lid while blades are rotating.
Only remove the lid plug to add
ingredients and to use the tamper.
26. When blending hot liquids or
ingredients in the 64 oz. container, use
caution; spray or escaping steam may
cause burns. Do not fill container to
the maximum capacity. Always begin
processing on the lowest speed setting,
variable speed 1. Keep hands and other
exposed skin away from lid opening to
prevent possible burns.
27.
DO NOT use your 20 ounce cup to
heat ingredients or to blend hot liquids.
Heated ingredients and liquids may
create internal pressure which could
cause the cup to burst and cause injury.
28.
DO NOT continuously use your
machine for more than 75 seconds with
the 20 ounce cup.
29. If a cup becomes warm to the touch
or steams or vents, immediately
stop blending ingredients and turn
off or unplug blender. Allow the
cup and ingredients to cool to room
temperature before removing the blade
base.
30. When making nut butters or oil-based
foods, do not process for more than
one minute after the mixture starts to
circulate in the container. Processing for
longer periods can cause overheating.
31.
Make sure that the container or cup
and personal cup adapter are flush with
the centering pad to ensure that the
drive spline is engaged with the drive
socket before operating.
32. Make sure to use the seal on the blade
base and tighten the cup adequately to
the blade base before blending.

onto the blade base without the cup
