Seals

There are two seals supplied with your
Personal Cup & Adapter. The seals are
interchangeable and their uses are:

• During the blend - place a seal on
the thread on the adapter.

• To travel - place a seal on the flip­top lid before attaching to the
20 ounce (0.6 L) personal cup.

The seals are used to avoid leaks and
spills. If you experience leaking:

• Make sure the seal is in place on
the adapter before attaching it
to the personal cup.

• Thread the adapter onto the
personal cup until it stops.
Try to thread a little further to
make sure it is tight.

• Add ingredients to the Personal Cup in the order they appear in
the recipe, or follow the general guideline on page 6 when creating
your own.

Operation

• When starting your machine, hold at a low speed (1 or 2) for a few
seconds until you see the blades “grab” or begin to process the
ingredients.

• Once ingredients begin circulating, increase to the speed
recommended in the Vitamix recipe. Operating at a lower speed
than suggested can cause the motor to overheat. Blend for the full
processing time suggested in the recipe.
