Operating Instructions

To achieve optimal blending results and ensure safety:

• Placement: Always place the container securely onto the blender base before adding ingredients or starting the machine.
• Ingredients: Add ingredients to the container. For best results, add liquids first, followed by soft ingredients, then hard ingredients, and finally ice.
• Lid Security: Always ensure the lid and lid plug are securely in place before operating the blender to prevent spills and ensure proper blending.
• Blending: Follow the operating instructions of your specific Vita-Mix Blending Station Advance for blending cycles and speeds.
• Hot Liquids: When blending hot liquids, do not fill the container above the 2-cup (0.5 liter) mark. Always remove the lid plug and secure the lid before blending hot liquids to allow steam to escape.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will extend the life of your container:

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the container immediately. For thorough cleaning, fill the container halfway with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Secure the lid and run the blender on high for 30-60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
• Deep Cleaning: For stubborn residue, a brush can be used to clean around the blades. Always exercise caution when cleaning near the blades.
• Drying: Invert the container to allow it to air dry completely to prevent water spots and odors.
