abOut tHe bLaDes

The wet-blade container comes as standard with the Vitamix machine. The blade is identified by a “W” for wet. This blade is used for most of your recipes. Additional containers with wet or dry blades may be purchased separately.

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

Do not reach into the container while the machine is running.

Wet-Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids, including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soup, purées, batter, and for wet chopping. The wet blades can also process grain and knead dough, but they are not quite as efficient as the dry blades in this application. See instructions for dry container use.

Dry-Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D” and are designed specifically for processing dry materials such as grain, cereal and coffee, and are also used for kneading bread dough. The dry blades CANNOT process liquids efficiently. If you prepare herbs on a regular basis, you may wish to purchase a separate dry-blade container.

taMper

CAUTION

Rotating Blades Can Cause Damage.

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between diff erent container styles, types, and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied with your machine.

How to Determine the Tamper that Can Be Used with

Your Container

Each type of tamper is designed to be used safely and eff ectively with a particular container.

If a tamper came with your container, it is the correct tamper for

the container. If a tamper did not come with your container, or you want to determine if a tamper that you already have can be used with your new container, please compare your container with the containers and matching tampers to the illustration below. Before using the tamper during the blending process, verify that it is the correct tamper.

12

• 64 oz. (2,0 L) Short Containers use Tamper 016041 that is approximately

9-¾ inches long.

• 64 oz. (2,0 L) Tall Containers uses Tamper 000760 that is approximately

12-½ inches long.

• 32 oz. (0,9 L) and 48 oz. (1,4 L) Containers use Tamper 015033 that is approximately 11 inches long.

To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on an empty container, remove the lid plug and insert the tamper. If it is the correct tamper it should easily fi t into the opening but will not come in contact with the blades no matter how you move the tamper inside the container. IF THE TAMPER TOUCHES THE

BLADES AT ANY ANGLE - DO NOT USE THE TAMPER WITH YOUR CONTAINER.

If you do not have the correct tamper for your container, call Vitamix Customer services at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 or e-mail [email protected] to order a new tamper. If purchased outside the United States or Canada, contact your local Vitamix Dealer.

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

• Do not put hands, spatulas, etc. in the container while the machine is running or while the container is still on the base.

• Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles, types, and sizes.

Use the tamper that was supplied with your machine.

IMPoRtAnt!

Tamper

• The splash disk (near the top of the tamper) and lid prevent the tamper from hitting the blades when the lid is secured properly in the locked position.

• The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the tamper is used during blending.

Tamper Splash

Disk

Lid

• To avoid overheating during blending, DO NOT use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds.

• If the food does not circulate, the machine may have trapped an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening.

Blade

Assembly

• Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the tamper toward the sides or corners of the container. DO NOT try to force the tamper deeper into the container.

Hints fOr settinG speeDs

to minimize splatter, always start the machine with the left switch

in the Variable ( ) position and with the center Variable Speed

Dial on 1. Do not begin processing on Variable 10 or directly on the

High ( ) setting.

Activate the machine by turning the On/Off Switch to On (

|) and slowly turn the

Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the recipe used. If a recipe calls for processing on High ( ), slowly rotate the Variable Speed Dial to 10 and then push the High/Variable Switch up into the High ( ) position.

Process on the High ( ) setting for as much of the processing time as possible to make whole food juices, soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butters and for grinding grains. Processing times will generally be less than one minute

(most take less than 30 seconds). High ( ) speed provides the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables, and grains to a smooth lump-free consistency.

tIP: Blending too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn the machine off. Use the

High ( ) speed as often as possible to achieve the most uniform consistency.

Blending on High ( ) speed also maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating.

When on High ( ), if the food does not circulate, the machine may be overloaded or may have trapped an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening. If circulation problems continue, reduce the machine speed. A lower speed may allow food to circulate when a higher speed does not. Once the food is circulating freely, increase the speed back to High ( ) and continue processing.

CAUTION

Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with Hot

Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.

Escaping steam, splashes or contents may scald.

To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid plug securely in place prior to operating the machine.

Always start on Variable 1, slowly increase to 10.

OperatinG instruCtiOns

8. Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than standard appliances. Until you are accustomed to the machine, count your time carefully to avoid over processing .

9. After turning the machine off, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container from the motor base

.

Dry Blade Container

If purchased, your dry blade container should only be used for hard, dry materials such as grain, and for kneading dough.

1. Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is set to 1.

2. Securely fasten the 2-part lid. Always use the complete 2-part lid when blending (unless the tamper is inserted through the lid plug opening).

3. With the motor off, set the dry blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a container properly in place.

4. Always start with the High/Variable Switch in the Variable ( ) position and with the center Variable Speed Dial pointed at 1.

Do not begin processing on

Variable 10 or directly on the High ( ) setting.

Activate the machine by turning the On/Off Switch to On (|) then slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the recipe used. If a recipe calls for processing on High ( ), slowly rotate the Variable

Speed Dial to 10 and then push the High/Variable Switch up into the

High ( ) position.

5. After turning the machine off, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container from the motor base.

6. Due to the machine’s speed, and the sometimes-short processing times, count your time carefully to avoid over-processing .

7. Grinding dry material for more than two minutes could damage your machine.

Regular use may result in cosmetic marring of the container and cause the blades to become dull over time .

8. Grinding some herbs may release oils, causing the container to discolor permanently. Others have strong odors that may linger in the container, affecting the flavor of other foods. The grinding of some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to dull over time, or the container to crack.
