ABOUT THE BLADES

The Vitamix machine comes standard with the wet blade container. 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, soups, purées, batters and for wet chopping. The wet blades can also grind grain and knead dough, but they are not quite as efficient as the dry blades in this application. If used for grinding, your container will mar and become cloudy; see instructions for dry container use.

Dry Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked ‘D’ and are designed specifically for grinding dry materials such as grains, cereal and coffee and are also used for kneading bread dough.

The dry blades can NOT process liquids efficiently. If you grind herbs on a regular basis, you may wish to purchase a separate dry blade container and replace the blades as needed.

CAUTION

Moving Parts

May Become

Hot With

Extended Use.

DO NOT TOUCH.

11

TAMPER

CAUTION

Rotating Blades Can Cause Damage.

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different 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 effectively 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.

12

64fl oz/2.0L (SHORT) 64fl oz/2.0L (TALL) 48fl oz/1.4L

32fl oz/0.9L

Before using the tamper during the blending process, verify that it is the correct tamper.

• 64fl oz Short Containers use Tamper P/N 016041, which is approximately 24.75cm long.

• 64fl oz Tall Containers use Tamper P/N 000760, which is approximately 31.75cm long.

• 32fl oz and 48fl oz Containers use Tamper P/N 015033, which is approximately 28cm long.

(Measurements on the containers are in US fluid ounces and US cups.)

To verify that you are using the correct tamper, put the lid on an empty container, remove the lid plug and insert the tamper. If it is the correct tamper it should easily fit into the opening but will not come into 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.

HOW TO USE THE TAMPER

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!

• 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.

• 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.

• Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the tamper towards the sides or corners of the container.

DO NOT try to force the tamper deeper into the container.

HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS

Hints for Setting Speeds

To minimize splatter, always begin the blending process with the Variable

Speed Dial set to 1 and slowly increase the speed to the desired setting.

Use the highest setting called out in the recipe 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). A higher speed provides the best quality of refinement.

Blending too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn off the machine. Blending on higher speed maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating.

If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve

Insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it ‘burps’. If this does not work, press the On/Off switch to stop the motor. Remove the container from the motor base and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades.

Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid and continue blending.

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

Wet Blade Container

Designed for processing liquids including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purées, batters and for wet chopping.

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

2. Load the container before placing it on the motor base. Put liquids and soft foods in the container first, solid items and ice last. Although not necessary for blending, you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more precise measuring of ingredients.

3. 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). Especially when blending hot ingredients, make sure that the lid is securely latched.

4. With the motor off, set the wet blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad. Never attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a container properly in place.

5. Start with the On/Off Switch in the On position. Always start your machine on

Variable Speed 1. Activate the machine by lifting up the Start/Stop Switch to the

Start ( ) position and slowly increase the Variable Speed to the desired speed.

Your container will shift and get into an aligned position.

6. If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. If inserting the tamper through the lid plug while blending does not release it, reduce the speed on the dial to Variable Speed 5. Use the tamper to stir until it ‘burps’. If these methods do not work, stop the motor, remove the container from the motor base and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid and continue blending.

7. Take proper care when handling and processing hot ingredients and making hot soups and sauces.

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.

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.

16

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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. Never attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a container properly in place.

4. Start with the On/Off Switch in the On position. Always start your machine on

Variable Speed 1. Activate the machine by lifting up the Start/Stop Switch to the

Start ( ) position and slowly increase the Variable Speed to the desired speed.

5. After turning off the machine, 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 volatile oils, causing the container to discolor permanently. Others have strong odours that may linger in the container, affecting the flavour of other foods. The grinding of some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to dull over time, or the container to crack.

CARE AND CLEANING

Container

To prepare your new machine for initial use, follow the steps below:

Normal Cleaning:

1. Fill the container half full with warm water and add a couple of drops of washing-up liquid to the container. Snap or push the complete 2-Part lid into the locked position.

2. Select Variable Speed 1. Turn the machine on and slowly increase the speed to

Variable Speed 10, then to High. Run the machine on High speed for 30–60 seconds.

3. Turn off the machine and rinse and drain the container.

To Sanitize:

1. Follow the Normal Cleaning instructions above.

2. Fill the container half full with water and 11/2 teaspoons of liquid bleach. Snap or push the complete 2-Part lid into the locked position.
