Handle or remove blade and blade assembly from 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. 16. 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 machine and may cause injury.17. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.

19. Always operate blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place. The lid plug should be removed only when adding ingredients and when using the tamper. 20. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, use caution; spray or escaping steam may cause scalding and burns. Do not fill container to the maximum capacity.

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 dangerous overheating.4 Please place the Vitamix in a level, dry location. After ensuring that the power switch is o, insert the plug into the outlet. We recommend using an outlet that has a ground connector. The power cord has a three-prong plug, or grounded plug. This design is for safety by connecting to ground. This plug can be inserted into a standard three prong outlet. If you do not have a three-prong outlet, you can plug the power cord into a typical two prong outlet by using an adapter. If you are uncertain whether your outlet’s electrical wiring is connected to ground, please consult with an electrician. When connecting the machine to a two prong outlet, first ensure that the outlet is wired correctly, then connect it to the outlet’s grounding screw. Once your Vitamix is correctly plugged in, get it ready for using by following the “Care and Cleaning”.
