EXPLODED PARTS

2-Part Lid: Your new machine has our latest
lid design. It is easy to put on and take o,
and easy to clean. Always use the lid when
the machine is in operation.

New lids should not be forced into place. For
ease in using a new lid, lightly coat the rim and
seal below the rim with vegetable oil. Wipe
away excess. Snap the lid onto the container
and leave in place for a few minutes. Once
the lid has been left on the container it will be
much easier to lock or remove, and will not
require the use of vegetable oil.

Lid Plug: Insert through the lid and secure by
turning clockwise. Remove the lid plug to use
the tamper or add ingredients. Your lid plug
is conveniently marked with measurements
making it easy to add ingredients.

To Lock the Lid in Place:

1. Position lid on container with lid flaps
midway between the spout and the handle.

2. Push the lid onto the container until it locks
in place.

3. The lid must always be secured when
processing, especially hot liquids that
may scald.

WARNING: Never put hands, spatulas, etc.

in the container while the machine is running.

To Remove the Lid: Lift up on one lid flap
while holding the container securely.

To Remove the Lid Plug: Rotate the lid
plug counterclockwise from the “locked” to
“unlocked” position and lift out.

Container: Ounces, cups and milliliters are
clearly marked. A second Dry Blade container
is available for purchase to grind grain and knead bread dough. The blade is marked “D”. Grinding grains
will cloud the lower three inches (8 cm) of the container. For this reason, it is important to keep each blade
matched with its original container.

Automatic Overload Protection: Your Vitamix motor is designed to protect itself from overheating. If the
motor shuts o, turn the power switch OFF for up to 45 minutes to reset. Reset time will be extended if high
room temperatures exist. To reduce the reset time, unplug the machine, remove the container and blow air
into the center section of the bottom with a hair dryer on the cool setting.
