2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put motor base in

water or other liquid.

3. Close adult supervision is necessary when appliance is used by or

near children.

4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet when the Touch & Go

Blending Station®is not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,

and before cleaning other than washing the container.

5. Never contact moving parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the

appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call

Vita-Mix

at once for possible replacement, examination, repair, electrical or

mechanical adjustment. If you live outside the United States or Canada,

contact your local Vita-Mix Distributor, or phone the Vita-Mix International

Division at +1 (440) 782-2450 or email at international@vitamix.com for

a distributor in your country.

7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Vita-Mix

Corporation may cause fire, shock, or injury.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let the power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch

hot surfaces.

10. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while motor is running

to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury and/or damage

to the Touch & Go Blending Station. A rubber scraper may be used, but

only when the Touch & Go Blending Station is not running.

11. CAUTION: Blade is sharp. Handle carefully.

• Never try to remove blade while container is sitting on the motor base.

• Do not operate with loose, knicked or damaged blades.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury, never place blade assembly on

12. The maximum normal load is equivalent to the ounces (liters) listed

motor base without blender container properly attached.

14. WARNING: When processing hot liquids:

• The 2-part latching lid must be securely in place. This allows steam

to escape naturally, and will prevent the lid from coming off when

the machine is turned on.

• Use caution with hot liquids. Spraying from under the lid plug can

occur, or escaping steam may cause scalding.

• Do not process hot liquids with the non-latching lid.

15. Display window area will scratch when contacted with a scouring pad or

sharp object. Use a soft cloth to wipe the control panel area clean.

16. The Touch & Go

17. Installation for a 120 VAC unit requires you to have at least one 20 amp

outlet per machine, available within six feet of the Touch & Go Blending

Station. 220 VAC and 100 VAC units require a dedicated line. Consult

an electrician for proper electrical needs.

Blending Station®cannot be cleaned with a water jet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Enjoy the safety of this grounded appliance. The Touch & Go Blending

Station U.S. power cord comes equipped with a three-prong (grounding)

plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet (Figure A). This

cord will vary for countries outside the United States.

Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the plug or power cord.

Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded

through the building wiring. With a properly grounded two prong wall outlet,

ground the machine by attaching the tab on the adapter to the wall outlet

cover by means of the screw in the center of the cover (Figure B).
