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 container

while machine is running.

Wet Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids, including
juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purees, 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 blades as needed.

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.

Use the tamper that was

64 oz. / 2,0 L (SHORT) 64 oz. / 2,0 L (TALL) 48 oz. / 1,4 L 32 oz. / 0,9 L

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

• 64 oz. Short Containers use Tamper P / N 016041 that is approximately 9 ¾ inches long.

• 64 oz. Tall Containers uses Tamper P / N 000760 that is approximately 12 ½ inches long.

• 32 oz. and 48 oz. Containers use Tamper P / N 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
fit 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 [e-mail] 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 dierent 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 toward 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). Higher speed provides the best quality
of refinement.

Blending too long at too low of 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.

13

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. Place 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 o, 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 / O 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 o, 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.

14

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. Always use the complete 2-Part lid when blending

(unless the tamper is inserted through the lid plug opening).

3. With the motor o, 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 / O 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 o 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 odors that may linger in the container, aecting
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.

15
