Maintaining your Vitamix® Blender

In order to maximize the life of and keep your Vitamix® product in good working order, it is
important that you follow a few simple maintenance tips:

1. Periodically inspect the drive socket for visible wear and tear, cracks, or breaks to

the socket. If damage is found, replace the drive socket with the extra drive socket
enclosed with your blender. To purchase additional replacement drive sockets
contact Vita-Mix® Corporation (hereinafter “Vitamix”) at 1-800-437-4654. For
customers outside the U.S.A., contact your authorized Vitamix Distributor, or call the

2. Manually rotate the blade bearing assembly to make sure it turns without hesitation

or doesn’t spin too freely. If the blade hesitates or spins too freely, contact Vitamix for
warranty information or a dealer near you.

3. Never run the machine without the centering pad properly placed on the base and

never remove the container from the base before blades have stopped moving.

64-oz. capacity container with 2-part lid:

• Always use the lid and the lid plug when the machine is
operating.

• Never operate the blender without the lid securely locked
in place.

• Ounces, Milliliters and Cups are clearly marked.

• Insert the lid plug through the lid and secure by turning
clockwise.

• Remove the lid plug to use the tamper or to add ingredients.

Tamper: Using the tamper maintains circulation by preventing
air pockets from forming.

4

Two Piece Lid: (lid and lid plug)

To Lock the Lid in Place: The lid must always be secured when

processing, especially hot liquids that may scald. Never operate

the blender without the lid securely locked in place. The lid
has a continuous rim which latches inside the container tabs.
Push one side of the rim under one tab and push down over
the opposite tab to snap the lid into position.

To Remove the Lid: Place hands around the lid, pressing

thumbs above one of the container tabs. Push in and lift off.

To Remove the Lid Plug: Rotate the lid plug counterclockwise

from the “locked” to “unlocked” position and lift out.

5

Power Cord: The blender’s power cord comes equipped with

a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
three-prong wall outlet. This cord will vary for countries outside

the United States of America.

Adapters 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.

tamper that was supplied with your machine.

How to Determine the Tamper that Can Be
Used with Your Container

The tamper is designed to be used safely and eciently with the
commercial containers. If a tamper came with your container, it

is the correct tamper for the container.

To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on
an empty container, remove the lid plug and insert the tamper.
The tamper should fit easily into the lid opening but not make
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,

contact Vitamix Customer service in the US and Canada at 800­437-4654 or email [e-mail]. Outside of the US
and Canada at +1.440.782.2450 or email international@vitamix.

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.

Do not force the tamper into the
32 oz. Container.
Do not use a tamper without a
step in any Vitamix commercial
container.

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.

• 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. Continue
to use the tamper to press ingredients into the blade to
shorten processing time.

• 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.

WARNING

Do NOT expose the container to temperatures
over 210°F (99°C). Do NOT expose the container
to hot liquids or ingredients over 210°F (99°C).

Do not leave blender unattended when in use.
Use caution. Escaping steam or splashes may

scald. Never start on the highest speed when
blending hot ingredients.

The lid plug should be removed only when adding
ingredients and when using the tamper.

Always start the blender with the variable
speed dial set to 1 and the High/Low switch
in the low position. Never start on speeds
above 1 or with the High/Low Switch in the
high position when blending hot liquids to
avoid possible burns.

Best Blend Quality and Machine Performance - Ingredient Temperature:

Freezer temperature: 0º F (-17.7º C)
Note: blending ingredients at a temperature less than 0º F
(-17.7º C) is not recommended.

• Process on the High
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).

• TIP: Blending too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the
machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn the
machine off. Blending on High

• When on the High
the lid plug while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the
mixture by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening. If circulation
problems continue, reduce the machine speed. A lower speed may allow
food to circulate when a higher speed does not. Add liquid if necessary.
DO NOT overfill. Once the food is circulating freely, increase the speed
back to High

• When making nut butters use tamper to shorten processing time. When
blending 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 damage to the container and motor overheating.

• Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than
standard appliances.

• Automatic Overload Protection: Your Vitamix motor is designed to
protect itself from overheating. If the motor shuts off, press the On/
Off switch to Off. Turn the power switch on after 5 minutes to check if
blender is reset and ready to operate. The blender might require up to
45 minutes to reset.

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.

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).
When blending hot ingredients, make sure the lid is securely latched.

4. With the motor o, set the wet blade container on the motor base by

IMPORTANT NOTES!

NOTE: The thermal protector may have shut the machine o. If the motor shuts o, press
the On/O switch to O. Turn the power switch On after 5 minutes to check if blender is
reset and ready to operate. The blender might require up to 45 minutes to reset. Cooling
may be quickened by placing the motor base in a cool spot. Unplug first. To speed up
the process, try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aimed at the bottom of the base.
When the thermal protector shuts o the motor, review your processing techniques and
your instructions.
Your recipes may be too thick (add liquid), be processed for too long at too low a speed
setting, or have too much material in them. If the motor seems to be overheating but
the thermal protector has not turned the machine o, stop the machine and remove the
container from the base.
