about the blades
Rotating Blades Can
Cause Severe Injury.
DO NOT reach into container
while machine is running.
WARNING
The Vitamix machine comes standard with the wet blade container. The blade is identified by
a “W” for wet. This blade is used for most of your recipes. Additional containers with wet or
dry blades may be purchased separately.
D
WD
W
Wet Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids, including juice,
frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purees, batters, and for wet chopping.
The wet blades can also grind grain and knead dough, but they are
not quite as efficient as the dry blades in this application. If used for
grinding, your container will mar and become cloudy; see instructions
for dry container use.
Dry Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D” and are
designed specifically for grinding dry materials such as grains, cereal,
and coffee, and are also used for kneading bread dough. The dry blades
can NOT process liquids efficiently. If you grind herbs on a regular basis,
you may wish to purchase a separate dry blade container and replace
blades as needed.
CAUTION
Moving Parts
May Become
Hot With
Extended
Use.
DO NOT touch.
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.

how to use the tamper
The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/or frozen mixtures
that cannot be processed in a regular blender. Using the tamper maintains circulation by
preventing air pockets from forming. While the machine is running, and only through the lid
plug opening, use the tamper to press ingredients into the blades as you make frozen ice
creams and nut butters, or purée fruits and vegetables.
• 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.
• Do not use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds
(to avoid overheating).
• 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.
• Holding the tamper straight down may not always help the
ingredients circulate. If need be, point the tamper toward the
side or corner of the container.
CAUTION
Moving Parts

Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with
Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.
Use Caution; escaping steam or
splashes may scald.
Lock the lid. This will prevent
expansion from aecting the
position of the lid when the
machine is turned on.
Start on Variable 1, slowly
increase to 10.
CAUTION
hints for setting speeds
Always start the machine with the center Variable Speed Dial on 1. Slowly turn the Variable
Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the recipe used.
Use the highest setting called out in the recipe for as much of the processing time as
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). High speed provides the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice,
frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables, and grains to a smooth lump-free consistency.
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 a higher speed
maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating.
If the food does not circulate, the machine may be overloaded or 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. If circulation problems
continue, reduce the machine speed. A lower speed may allow food to circulate when a
higher speed does not. Once the food is circulating freely, increase the speed back to the
higher setting and continue processing.

operating instructions
WET BLADE CONTAINER
Designed for processing liquids including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purees,
batters, and for wet chopping.
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. Although not necessary for blending, you may want
to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more precise measuring of ingredient s.
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). Especially when blending hot
ingredients, make sure the lid is securely latched.
4. With the motor off, set the wet blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the
centering pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to
operate a motor base without a container properly in place
.
5. Start with the High/Variable Switch in the Variable ( ) position. Always start your
machine on variable speed 1. Activate the machine by turning the On/Off Switch to
On (|) then slowly increase to the desired speed. Your container will shift and get into
an aligned position.
6. Take proper care when handling and processing hot ingredients and making hot soups
and sauces
.
7. Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than standard
appliances. Until you are accustomed to the machine, count your time carefully to
avoid over processing .
8. After turning the machine off, wait until the blades completely stop before removing
the lid or container from the motor bas e.
Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with

DRY BLADE CONTAINER
If purchased, your dry blade container should only be used for hard, dry materials, such
as grain, and for kneading dough.
1. Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is set to 1.
2. 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).
3. With the motor off, set the dry blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the
centering pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to
operate a motor base without a container properly in place.
4. Start with the High/Variable Switch in the Variable ( ) position. Always start your
machine on variable speed 1. Activate the machine by turning the On/Off Switch to
On (|) then slowly increase to the desired speed. Your container will shift and get into an
aligned position.
5. After turning the machine off, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the
lid or container from the motor base.
6.
Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than standard appliances. Until
you are accustomed to the machine, count your time carefully to avoid over processing.
7. Grinding dry material for more than two minutes could damage your machine. Regular
use may result in cosmetic marring of the container and cause the blades to become dull
over time .
8. Grinding some herbs may release volatile oils, causing the container to discolor
permanently. Others have strong odors that may linger in the container, affecting the
flavour of other foods. The grinding of some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to
dull over time, or the container to crack.

Vitamix machine has the motor power, torque, speed, container and
blade design to smash the whole food fibre, breaking it into
microscopic pieces that are easy to digest, and you get to enjoy a
creamy, smooth juice.
