Automatic Overload Protection
Your Vitamix® machine is equipped with a special feature: Automatic Overload Protection. This built-in
feature is designed to protect the motor and prevent your machine from overheating. That means peace of
mind for you as a Vitamix owner. When engaged, this Automatic Overload Protection will cause the motor to
shut o and possibly emit a light odor.
Tips to prevent “overloading” your Vitamix machine:
• Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the machine
• Do not process recipes at lower speeds than recommended
• Do not process recipes at higher speeds than recommended
• Do not process recipes longer than recommended
• Use your tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving around
and through the blades
Retainer Nut Loosening
In the event that the retainer nut at the bottom of your container loosens and no longer securely holds
the blade assembly in place, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE CONTAINER. Call Vitamix Customer
Service Department at 1-440-235-4840, or your local dealer immediately for instructions.
