IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE 

This product is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY and is not intended to be used for commercial purposes. 
Do not leave your Vitamix blender unattended when operating. 
Any repair, servicing, or the replacement of parts must be performed by Vitamix or an authorized  
service representative. 

 

WARNING

Failure to follow instructions can cause death or electrical shock. 

20. 

To reduce the risk of injury, never place the blade base on the motor base unless assembled to  
the container.

21. 

DO NOT leave foreign objects, such as spoons, forks, knives or the lid plug, in either container as this will 
damage the blades and other components when starting the machine and may cause injury.

22. 

Never attempt to operate the blender with damaged blades. 

23. 

Never attempt to operate the blender without the seal in place between the blade base and  
either container.

24. 

The lid and lid plug MUST be firmly in place when blending with the 40 ounce (1.2 L) container. The lid 
plug should be removed only when adding ingredients and when using the tamper.

25. 

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 dangerous overheating.
