16. When making nut butters or oil based foods, do not process for more than one
minute after mixture starts circulating. Overprocessing can cause dangerous
overheating as well as damage the container.
17. Always operate the Vita-Mix machine with a lid in place.

WARNING:
When processing hot liquids:
• The two-part latching lid must be securely in place. This allows steam to escape
naturally and will prevent the lid from coming off when the machine is turned on.
• Do not start on HIGH speed or the highest speed setting. Always start hot liquids
on LOW speed or the lowest setting, then increase speed as the machine is running.
• Use caution with hot liquids. Spraying from under the lid plug can occur, or
escaping steam may cause scalding.
WARNING:
When pouring hot liquids and mixtures:
• Be sure the container has the protective sure-grip hand guard.
• Wear long sleeves and gloves for protection.

CAUTION:
Turn power OFF or unplug the machine before touching movable parts.
Shut OFF power switch at night or whenever machine will be left unattended.
Save These Safety Instructions
The Vita-Mix blender’s U.S. power cord comes equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet (Figure A).
This
cord will vary for countries outside the United States.
Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the plug or power cord.
Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded through the
building wiring. With a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet, ground the machine by
attaching the tab on the adapter to the wall outlet cover by means of the screw in the
center of the cover (Figure B).
