TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Seals

There are two seals supplied with your blender. The seals are

interchangeable and their uses are:

• During the blend - place a seal on the blade base attaching the

blade base to either container.

• To travel - place a seal on the ﬂip-top lid before attaching to the

20 ounce (0.6 L) container.

The seals are used to avoid leaks and spills. If you experience leaking:

• Make sure the seal is in place on the blade assembly before

attaching to either container.

• Thread the blade base onto the container and until it stops. Try to

thread a little further to make sure it is tight.

Keep the seals clean, allow to air dry between uses and keep in a safe

place to avoid losing them.

Ingredients

• Cut ingredients into 1-inch pieces.

• Cubed ice blends better than crushed ice.

• The order to add ingredients to each container is important. Place ingredients into each container in the

order they appear in the recipe.

• Do not fill the 40 ounce (1.2 L) container more than two-thirds full (approximately 28 ounces) when

blending thick texture recipes (e.g., hummus or nut butters). This allows room at the top of the container to

use the tamper, to add liquid to the blend if necessary and will reduce the chances of overheating the unit.

Remember: Always follow guidelines in the recipe to ensure the best blend quality. Operating at a lower speed

than suggested in the recipe can cause the motor to overheat. Blend for the full processing time suggested in

the recipe. The smaller blades will take a bit longer than larger Vitamix machines.

• If ingredients are not ﬂowing easily through the blades, use the tamper in the 40 ounce (1.2 L) container,

or add more liquid to the blend. DO NOT overﬁll.

CONTROL PANEL

1. Power Indication: When the stop symbol (O) brightens, this indicates that the machine is plugged in

and power is ﬂowing. Unplug the machine whenever it will be left unattended.

The stop symbol on the control panel will behave in these ways:

Slow ﬂash – machine is plugged in but the container is not properly in place on the motor base.

Solid (no ﬂash) – machine is plugged in, the container is in place, and the machine is ready to blend.

Fast ﬂash – error caused by one of the following:

A. The motor base is plugged in while the control knob is not in the stop position (O).

B. The container was placed on the machine while the control knob was not pointed at the stop

symbol (O).

C. The container was removed from machine while operating (could include lifting the container away

from the motor base and the interlock tabs losing contact with the base during tamping).

If the container is lifted or rocked from the motor base during blending, the machine will turn o

automatically. To continue, place the container back on the motor base. Push in on the center of the

control knob to start the blades.

2. Control Knob: Allows you to select a program or use variable speed from 1 to 10 (low to high).

To begin, rotate the control knob counterclockwise from the stop symbol to select a program or

clockwise from the stop symbol to the desired variable speed setting. Push in on the center of the knob

to activate the blades. When blending with a program, allow the blender to blend through the cycle and

stop on it’s own. When using variable speed, push in on the center of the control knob again to stop the

blades. Rotate the control knob back to the stop symbol.

3. Pulse (

): Rotate the control knob to the counterclockwise to the pulse position. Push in on the

center of the control knob to activate the blades. The machine will blend at 50% of high speed for as

long as it is held in this position.

4. Programs: Your blender is equipped with four program settings. Rotating the control knob

counterclockwise from the stop symbol allows you to select a program for Smoothies (

Power Blends (

), Dips and Spreads ( ) and Frozen Desserts ( ). Program blending speeds and

duration vary and will stop automatically at the end of the program. To begin a program, rotate to the icon

and then press in on the center of the control knob to activate the blades. To stop, push in again on the

center of the control knob. Rotate the control knob back to the stop symbol when done.
