WARNING
:
To avoid the risk of serious injury when using your Vitamix® blender, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following.
13.
The tamper provided must be used only when the main part of
the lid is in place.
14.
Blades are sharp. Handle or remove blade and blade assembly
from the container with extreme care to avoid injury. To reduce
the risk of injury, never place a blade assembly on the motor
base unless assembled to the Vitamix container.
15.
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 machine and may cause
injury.
16.
Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
17.
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 machine and may cause injury.
18.
Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
19.
Always operate blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place. The
lid plug should be removed only when adding ingredients and
when using the tamper.
20.
When blending hot liquids or ingredients, use caution; spray
or escaping steam may cause scalding and burns. Do not fill
container to the maximum capacity. Always begin process-
ing on the lowest speed setting, variable speed 1. Keep hands
and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent
possible burns.
21.
When making nut butters or oil-based foods, do not process
for more than one minute after the mixture starts to circu-
late in the container. Processing for longer periods can cause
dangerous overheating.
