Technologie - Le mélangeur, les récipients et les tasses communiquent par le biais d'une technologie sans ﬁl. Chaque

récipient est programmé en fonction de sa taille et de ses fonctionnalités pour fonctionner sur le socle avec des

performances optimales.

Anciens récipients Vitamix - Les anciens récipients Vitamix ne fonctionneront pas avec votre socle de mélangeur

Ascent. Les anciennes machines appartiennent aux séries C, G et S Vitamix. Pour plus d'informations sur les produits

Vitamix, veuillez vous rendre sur le site vitamix.com.

Interrupteur marche/arrêt (I/O) - L'interrupteur marche/arrêt (I/O) est situé sur le côté droit du socle. L'interrupteur

marche/arrêt contrôle l'alimentation de l'appareil.

Mode veille - Le mélangeur passera en mode veille si le panneau de commande n'est pas utilisé pendant 60secondes.

La luminosité de l'écran diminuera. Pour sortir du mode veille, tournez le sélecteur de vitesse variable jusqu'à la vitesse

souhaitée ou jusqu'au programme désiré pour le mélange suivant.

Fonctionnement en deux actions - Le panneau de commande a été conçu pour nécessiter deux interactions des

commandes pour pouvoir activer le cycle de mélange.

Détection des récipients - Les trois tirets (- - -) s'achent sur le panneau de commande lorsqu'aucun récipient n'est

placé sur le socle du mélangeur. Une fois un récipient mis en place, 0:00 s'ache sur l'écran.

Démarrage/arrêt ( I ) - Arrêtez le mélangeur à tout moment en appuyant sur démarrage/arrêt ( I).

Sélecteur de vitesse variable - Le sélecteur de vitesse variable vous ore un contrôle manuel de la Variable 1 (la plus

lente) à 10 (la plus rapide).

Impulsion ( ) - Les couteaux tournent à la vitesse achée sur le panneau de commande lorsque vous appuyez

sur ce bouton.

Achage - Le minuteur compte le temps écoulé lorsque vous utilisez la vitesse variable jusqu'à ce que vous appuyiez

sur démarrage/arrêt. Chaque récipient est programmé avec une durée de fonctionnement maximum spéciﬁque. Le

mélangeur s'arrête automatiquement à la ﬁn de la durée de fonctionnement maximum.

Programmes - Les icônes sont présentées dans les recettes Vitamix. Le mélangeur s'arrête automatiquement à la ﬁn

du programme. Vous pouvez interrompre à tout moment les programmes en appuyant sur démarrage/arrêt. Lorsque

vous appuyez sur démarrage/arrêt au milieu d'un programme, la durée se réinitialise et le programme recommence

depuis le début.

Boissons fouettées Desserts glacés Soupes

Codes d'erreur - Si vous voyez un code d'erreur sur l'achage (E1, E2, E3, E4), enlevez le récipient du socle du

mélangeur. Éteignez le mélangeur avec l'interrupteur marche/arrêt et rallumez-le pour le réinitialiser. Contactez le

service client Vitamix si le problème persiste.

Moteur - Le moteur est conçu pour se protéger contre la surchaue. Si le mélangeur ne démarre pas immédiatement,

assurez-vous que vous avez bien branché l'appareil et que l'interrupteur marche/arrêt est sur marche. Si le moteur a

surchaué, laissez-le refroidir pendant 20 à 45minutes.

Conseils pour prévenir la «surcharge» de votre mélangeur:

Pour apprendre à utiliser le mélangeur, ne préparez que des recettes Vitamix. Ne réduisez pas les vitesses de

préparation recommandées pour les recettes. Ne dépassez pas les vitesses de préparation recommandées pour les

recettes. Ne dépassez pas les temps de mélange recommandés pour les recettes. Utilisez votre pilon pour préparer

des mélanges plus épais et garder les ingrédients en mouvement autour des couteaux et entre ceux-ci.

Pilon - Les couvercles et les pilons ne sont pas interchangeables entre les récipients de diérents styles, types et

formats. Utilisez le pilon qui a été fourni avec votre mélangeur.

Le récipient ne doit pas être rempli plus qu'aux deux tiers lorsque le pilon est utilisé.

Pour éviter toute surchauffe, N'utilisez PAS le pilon pendant plus de 30 secondes consécutives.
