directed on page 15. Make sure the gasket is seated properly against the blender and the
centering pad. The gasket and the centering pad should be flat on the motor base.

IMPORTANT NOTES!
Sound Dampening Gasket:

chemicals may cause the pad to swell. Do not soak. The gasket may absorb water and swell.
It can take 24-48 hours of air drying before it returns to its original size.
Blade Assembly: Do not soak the blade agitator assembly.
* Be sure to wring excess water out of cloth or sponge when cleaning around
the controls or any electrical part.
** To prolong polycarbonate container life, Vitamix recommends using soaps with a
low PH balance, such as a liquid dishwashing detergent (Ivory Liquid®). Due to the
nature of polycarbonates, automatic dishwashing is not recommended.
*** Recommended sanitizing solution: 1.5 tsp. / 7,4 ml institutional or household
