the wall outlet or circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker continues to trip,
unplug the blender from the outlet. Allow the blender to sit for 24 hours
before attempting to use it again. Contact Vitamix Customer Services if
the problem persists.
12. Alteration or modification of any part of the blender, including the use of
any part or parts that are not genuine authorised Vitamix parts, may cause
fire, electric shock or injury and will void your warranty.
13. The use of attachments not expressly authorised or sold by Vitamix for use
with this blender, including preserving jars, may cause fire, electric shock
or injury. Use in this way will void your warranty.
14. Do not use outdoors.
15. Do not let the cable hang over the edge of the table or counter.
16. Do not place the motor base or container on or near a hot gas or electric
hob, in or on a heated oven.
17. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to reduce the
risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A rubber scraper
or spatula may be used, but only when the blender is not running.
18. The tamper provided must be used only when the main part of the lid is
in place.
19. Blades are sharp. Clean around the blade assembly in 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.
20. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying
the container and during cleaning.
21. 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 blender and may cause injury.
22. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
23. Never attempt to operate with the centring pad removed.
24. Always operate the blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place. Only
remove the lid plug to add ingredients and to use the tamper.
25. DO NOT remove the lid while blades are rotating. Only remove the lid
plug to add ingredients and to use the tamper. If the lid is removed during
operation, the motor base will stop and will not run until the lid and lid plug
are in place on the container.
26. DO NOT defeat the lid interlock mechanism.
27. Do not fill the 2-litre container, 0.6 -litre cup or 240-ml bowl above the
marked maximum capacity line to avoid risk of injury due to damage to
the lid and container.
28. When blending hot liquids or ingredients in the 2-litre (large) container,
use caution; spray or escaping steam may cause burns. 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.
29. DO NOT use your 0.6-litre cup or 240-ml bowl to heat ingredients or to
blend hot liquids. Heated ingredients and liquids may create internal pressure
which could cause the cup to burst and cause injury.
30. DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than 75 seconds when
blending with a cup and blade base.
31. If a cup becomes warm to the touch or steams or vents, immediately stop
blending ingredients and turn o or unplug the blender. Allow the cup and
ingredients to cool to room temperature before removing the blade base.
32 DO NOT use the cups (including the blade base or lids) in the microwave.
33. 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 over-heating.
34. Make sure that the container or cup and blade base are flush with the
centring pad to ensure that the drive spline is engaged with the drive
socket before operating.
35. Make sure to use the seal on the blade base and tighten the cup adequately
to the blade base before blending.
36. Never place the blade base onto the motor base without the cup attached
to the blade base.
37. The blender will reset itself in the event of power line surge and the counter
will reset to ‘0’. This is a normal action for the blender to avoid hazards,
if used as intended. The timer is only for the user’s reference and is not
considered an essential function of the blender’s operation.
