processing liquids, including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soup,
purées, batter, and for wet chopping.

CAUTION
Rotating Blades Can Cause Damage.
Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between dierent
container styles, types and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied
with the blender.
How to Determine the Tamper to be Used with Your Container
Before using a tamper during the blending process, verify that you have the correct tamper.
If a tamper came with your blender and container at purchase, it is the correct tamper
to use. If a tamper did not come with your container or you want to determine if a tamper
that you already have can be used with your new container, please see the inspection steps
and illustration below.
1. Place the lid on an empty container.
2. Remove the lid plug and insert the tamper. The tamper should fit easily into the
opening. It should not come into contact with the blades no matter where you move
the tamper inside the container.
3. Visually inspect: IF THE TAMPER TOUCHES THE BLADES AT ANY ANGLE, DO NOT
USE THE TAMPER WITH YOUR CONTAINER.
4. If you do not have the correct tamper for your container, contact Vitamix Household
Customer Service at
1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 .

WARNING
Rotating Blades Can
CauseSevereInjury.
• DO NOT put hands, spatulas etc. into the
container while the blender is running or
while the container is 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 blender.
IMPORTANT!
• T he 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.
• To avoid overheating during blending,
DO NOT use the tamper for more than
30 consecutive seconds.
• If the food does not circulate, the
blender may have trapped an air
bubble. Carefully remove the lid
cap, while making sure the lid stays
firmlyin place. Release the air bubble
by inserting the tamper through the lid
cap opening.
• Holding the tamper straight down may
not help the ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the tamper towards the sides
or corners of the container. DO NOT try to force the tamper more deeply into the
container.

To minimize splatter, always start with the Speed Control Dial in the
Low position. Do not begin processing on High setting.
Activate the blender by turning the On/O Switch to On (|). Set the Speed Control Dial to
Low. Press the Start/Stop switch to activate the blending cycle. Turn the Speed Control Dial
to the desired speed depending on the recipe used. If a recipe calls for processing on High,
start on Low then use the Speed Control DIal to increase to High.
Process on High for as much of the processing time as possible. 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 on Low may overheat the blender and cause the Automatic Overload
Protection to turn the blender off. Use High as often as possible to achieve the most uniform
consistency. Blending on High also maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating.
When on blending on High, if the food does not circulate, the blender 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 blender speed to Medium or Low. A lower speed may allow food to circulate
when High does not. Once the food is circulating freely, increase the speed back to
High and continue processing.
Always return the Speed Control Dial back to Low at the end of the blending cycle. Press the
Start/Stop switch to stop blade rotation.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT USE OF THE DRY CONTAINER:
• Grinding dry material for more than two minutes could damage your blender.
• Regular use may result in cosmetic marring of the container and cause the blades to
become dull over time.
• Grinding some herbs may release oils, causing the container to discolor permanently.
• Others have strong odors that may linger in the container, affecting the flavor of other
foods.
• The grinding of some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to dull over time, or
the container to crack.
6. Take proper care when handling and processing hot ingredients and making hot
soups and sauces.

1.440.235.4840 for instruction.
Tips to prevent “overloading” your blender:
• Only process Vitamix recipes when learning to use the blender
• Do not process recipes at lower speeds than those recommended
• Do not process recipes at higher speeds than those recommended
• Do not process recipes for longer than recommended
• Use your tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving around and
through the blades
In the event that the retainer nut at the
bottom of your container loosens and no
longer holds the blade assembly securely
in place, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE
CONTAINER. Contact Vitamix customer
service immediately for instructions.
