water or other liquid.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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. 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.
18. 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 processing on the lowest speed setting, variable
speed 1. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to
prevent possible burns.
19. 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 dangerous overheating.
