Important Safeguards

• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the blender base in water or other liquid.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
• Always check that the blender is OFF before plugging cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn OFF the blender, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.

• GFI circuit breakers might be installed in your kitchen. Look for them in outlets near sinks. If the blender won’t operate, unplug the blender. Reset 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 Service if the problem persists.
• Alteration or modification of any part of the blender, including the use of any part or parts that are not genuine authorized Vitamix parts, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury and will void your warranty.
• The use of attachments not expressly authorized or sold by Vitamix for use with this blender, including canning jars, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. Use in this way will void your warranty.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in or on a heated oven.

Parts and Features

Know Your Vitamix Container, Lid and Tamper

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles, types and sizes. Use the tamper and lid that was supplied with your blender

How to Determine the Tamper to be Used with Your Container
Before using a tamper during the blending, verify that you have the correct tamper. Only use the tamper with the lid securely locked in place and the lid plug removed. If a tamper came with your blender at purchase, it is the correct tamper to use. If a tamper did not come with your blender or you want to determine if a tamper that you already have can be used with your new container, please use these steps and illustrations to determine what tamper to use.

• Place the lid on an empty container.
• Remove the lid plug and insert the tamper through the lid plug opening. 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
• Visually inspect: IF THE TAMPER TOUCHES THE BLADES AT ANY ANGLE, DO NOT USE THE TAMPER WITH YOUR CONTAINER.
• 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.

WHO CAN SEEK WARRANTY COVERAGE.

Should ownership of the blender change during the 7-year period, please update the Blender’s owner information at vitamix.com.

WHAT IS COVERED.
Vitamix warrants to the owner that if this Blender (a “Blender” consists of a motor blender base, any container(s), lids and tamper(s) purchased together) fails within 7 years from the date of purchase due to a defect in material or workmanship or as a result of normal wear and tear from ordinary household use, Vitamix will, within 30 days of receipt of the returned blender, repair the failed Blender or component part of the Blender free of charge. If, in Vitamix’s sole discretion, the failed Blender or component part of the Blender cannot be repaired, Vitamix will elect to either (A) replace the Blender free of charge or (B) refund the full purchase price to the owner, unless Vitamix receives prior written notice of the owner’s preference.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED.
This Warranty does not apply to Blenders used commercially or in non-household applications. This Warranty does not cover cosmetic changes that do not affect performance, such as discoloration or the effects of the use of abrasives or cleaners or food build up. This Warranty is only valid if the Blender is used and maintained in accordance with the instructions, warnings and safeguards contained in the owner’s manual. Containers: Grinding certain herbs and spices in the container/cup will result in cosmetic marring of the container/cup and may cause the blades to wear prematurely. Traces of sand, coarse gritty and abrasive herbs will also cause the blades to wear prematurely. Herbs may contain volatile oils, cause the container/cup to retain the oils and cause permanent discoloration. Your container/cup and blades are not covered under the Vitamix warranty under these circumstances. Vitamix will not be responsible for the cost of any unauthorized warranty repairs.

WHAT VOIDS THIS WARRANTY.
Abuse, misuse, negligent use, alteration of the Blender, exposure to abnormal or extreme conditions, or failure to follow the operating instructions in this manual will void this Warranty.
The Warranty is also void if repairs to the Blender or any component part of the Blender are performed by someone other than either Vitamix or an authorized Vitamix Service Provider or if any component part of a Blender subject to this Warranty is used in combination with a motor base or container that is not expressly authorized by Vitamix.
