WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

DO NOT reach into container

while machine is running.

Wet Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids,

including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purees, batters,

and for wet chopping. The wet blades can also process grain

and knead dough, but they are not quite as efficient as the dry

blades in this application. See instructions for dry container use.

Dry Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D”

and are designed specifically for processing dry materials

such as grains, cereal, and coffee, and are also used for

kneading bread dough. The dry blades can NOT process

liquids efficiently. If you prepare herbs on a regular basis, you

may wish to purchase a separate dry blade container.

The Vitamix machine comes standard with the wet blade container. The blade is

identified by a “W” for wet. This blade is used for most of your recipes.

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 your machine.

How to Determine the Tamper to use with Your Container

Each type of tamper is designed to be used safely and eectively with a

particular container. If a tamper came with your container, it is the correct

tamper for the container. 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 compare your container with the containers and matching

tampers to the illustration below.

Before using the tamper during the blending process, verify that it is the

correct tamper.

• 2,0 L (64 oz.) Short Containers use Tamper 016041 that is approximately

11 inches long.

• 2,0 L (64 oz.) Tall Containers uses Tamper 000760 that is approximately

12-½ inches long.

• 0,9 L (32 oz.) and 1,4 L (48 oz.) Containers use Tamper 015033 that is

approximately 9-¾ inches long.

To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on an empty

container, remove the lid plug and insert the tamper. If it is the correct tamper

it should easily ﬁt into the opening but will not come in contact with the blades

no matter how you move the tamper inside the container. 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, call Vitamix Customer

services at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 or e-mail [email protected].

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

• DO NOT put hands, spatulas, etc. in

the container while the machine is

running or while the container is still

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 machine.

IMPORTANT:

• The 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

machine 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.

• Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate.

If necessary, point the tamper toward the sides or corners of the container.

DO NOT try to force the tamper deeper into the container.

HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS

CAUTION

Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with

Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.

Escaping steam, splashes or contents

may scald.

To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid

plug securely in place prior to operating

the machine.

Always start on Variable 1, slowly increase

to 10.

Variable Speed

Before using the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial

marker pointing to the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.

1. To activate the blending process, press down on the Start / Stop Switch.

2. Rotate the dial to the right of center to Variable Speed 1.

3. Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed

4. At the end of the blending cycle, rotate the Variable Speed dial back to the

Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.

Use the highest setting stated in the recipe for as much of the processing

time as possible to make smoothies, soup, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées,

nut butter, and for grinding grain. Processing times will generally be less than

one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). The higher speed provides

the best quality of reﬁnement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruit

orvegetables, and grains to a smooth, lump-free consistency.

Blending for too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine

and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn o the machine.

Blending on a higher speed maximizes the working of the motor's cooling fan

to avoid overheating.

If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To

resolve Insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it “burps”. If

this does not work, press the On / O switch to stop the motor. Remove

the container from the motor base and use a rubber spatula to press the

air bubble away from the blades. Return the container to the motor base,

replace the lid and continue blending.

Programs (Pro-750 Only)

The machine is equipped with the following programs:

Smoothie ( ) Frozen Dessert ( ) Hot Soup ( ) Purée ( ) Cleaning ( )
