Program Settings
Your Vitamix 6300 machine comes equipped with three program settings for the most commonly used
and requested recipes. Rotating the Variable Speed/Programming Dial to the left of the center stop
position allows you to select a program for Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, or Hot Soups. These programs
are optimized for these recipe categories, but may also work well with other recipe choices.
The programs start on a low speed and ramp to High over the course of the program, stopping
automatically at the end of the program. Programs can be interrupted by pushing down the Start/Stop
switch at any time. If reactivated by pushing down the Start/Stop switch, the program will start at
the beginning.
The Pulse function can be used when a program is selected. Pushing down the Pulse switch when
a program is selected will cause the machine to run at 50% of High power for as long as the switch
is pushed down.
Note: The automatic overload protection shuts the motor o. It does so to protect the machine from
overheating. To restart, wait for it to cool down with the power o (up to 45 minutes). (To reduce the reset
time, see page 7.) When the motor shuts o always review your processing technique and your instructions.
Your recipes may:

If the motor seems to be overheating, but the automatic overload protection has not turned the machine o,
stop and remove the container.
Due to varying ice temperatures, ice shapes, softness of food, speed of processing, etc., the quantity
of ice required in a recipe and blending times may vary slightly from those mentioned in recipes.
Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with
Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.
Use Caution; escaping steam or
splashes may scald.

expansion from aecting the
position of the lid when the
machine is turned on.
