16.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, in or on a heated oven.
17.
Keep hands and utensils out of container
while blending to reduce the risk of
severe injury to persons or damage to the
blender. A rubber scraper or spatula may
be used, but only when the blender is not
running.
18.
The tamper provided must be used only
when the main part of the lid is in place.
19.
Blades are sharp. Clean around the blade
assembly in the container with extreme
care to avoid injury.
20.
To reduce the risk of injury, never 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.
33.
Never place the personal cup adapter
onto the blade base without the cup
attached.
