PARTS AND FEATURES

On/O Switch:Lifting the On/O Switch to the On (|) position starts the rotation

of the blade assembly and begins the blending process.

High/Low Switch: The High/Low Switch controls the speed of the rotation of the

blade assembly.

Container: Ounces, cups, and milliliters are clearly marked.

2-Part Lid: Your new machine has our latest lid design. It is easy to put on and

take o, and easy to clean. Always use the lid and the lid plug when the machine

is in operation.

CAUTION: Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between dierent

container styles, types, and sizes.

Snap the lid onto the container and leave in place for a few minutes. Once the lid

has been left on the container, it will be much easier to lock or remove.

Lid Plug: Insert through the lid and secure by turning clockwise. Remove the lid

plug to use the tamper or add ingredients.

Tamper: While the machine is running, and only through the lid plug opening,

use the tamper to press ingredients into the blades. Refer to “How to Use the

Tamper” on page 14.

To Lock the Lid in Place: Position lid on container with lid ﬂaps midway between

the spout and the handle. Push the lid onto the container until it locks in place.

The lid must always be secured when processing, especially hot liquids that

may scald. Never operate the blender without checking to make sure the lid is

securely locked in place.

To Remove the Lid: Lift up on one lid ﬂap while holding the container securely.

To Remove the Lid Plug: Rotate the lid plug counterclockwise from the “locked”

to “unlocked” position and lift out.

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

DO NOT reach into container

while machine is running.

Automatic Overload Protection:Your Vitamix motor is designed to protect itself

from overheating. If the motor shuts off, turn off the power switch for up to 45

minutes to reset. Reset time will be extended if high room temperatures exist. To

reduce the reset time, unplug the machine, remove the container, and blow air

into the center section of the bottom with a hair dryer on the cool setting.

Power Cord: Your machine is equipped

with a long power cord. Store the

unused portion neatly underneath.

Bottom View / Cord Wrap: Plastic cord

retainers hold the cord securely. There

is no need to unscrew the cord retainers

to let out more cord. They are flexible,

and return to position after the cord is

lifted out.

CREATIONS® TURBO

WetBladeContainer:Designed for processing liquids, including

juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purées, batters, and for

wet chopping. The wet blades can also grind grain and knead

dough, but they are not quite as efficient as the dry blades in

this application. If used for grinding, your container will mar

and become cloudy; see instructions for dry container use.

Dry Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D” and

are designed specifically for grinding dry materials such as

grains, cereal, and coffee, and are also used for kneading bread

dough. The dry blades can NOT process liquids efficiently. If

you grind herbs on a regular basis, you may wish to purchase

a separate dry blade container and replace blades as needed.

The Vitamix machine comes standard with the wet blade container. The blade is

identified by a “W” for wet. This blade is used for most of your recipes. Additional

containers with wet or dry blades may be purchased separately.

ABOUT THE BLADES

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

DO NOT reach into container

while machine is running.

CAUTION

Moving Parts

May Become

Hot With

Extended Use.

DO NOT touch.

CAUTION

Rotating Blades Can Cause Damage.

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between

dierent container styles, types, and sizes. Use the

tamper that was supplied with your machine.

How to Determine the Tamper that Can Be Used with

Your Container

Each type of tamper is designed to be used safely and eectively with a particular

container. If a tamper came with your container, it is the correct tamper for

the container.

If a tamper did not come with your container, or you want to determine if a tamper

that you already have can be used with your new container, please compare

your container with the containers and matching tampers to the illustration

below. Before using the tamper during the blending process, verify that it is the

correct tamper.

• 64 oz. Short Containers use Tamper 016041 that is approximately

9-¾ inches long.

• 64 oz. Tall Containers uses Tamper 000760 that is approximately

12-½ inches long.

• 32 oz. and 48 oz. Containers use Tamper 015033 that is approximately

11 inches long.

To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on an empty container,

remove the lid plug and insert the tamper. If it is the correct tamper it should

easily ﬁt into the opening but will not come in contact with the blades no matter

how you move the tamper inside the container. IF THE TAMPER TOUCHES THE

BLADES AT ANY ANGLE - DO NOT USE THE TAMPER WITH YOUR CONTAINER.

If you do not have the correct tamper for your container, call Vitamix Customer

services at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 to order a new tamper.

TAMPER

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

• DO NOT put hands, spatulas, etc.

in the container while the machine

is running or while the container is

still on the base.

• Lids and tampers are not

interchangeable between dierent

container styles, types, and sizes.

Use the tamper that was supplied

with your machine.

IMPORTANT!

• The splash disk (near the top of

the tamper) and lid prevent the

tamper from hitting the blades

when the lid is secured properly

in the locked position.

• The container should not be

more than two-thirds full

when the tamper is used

during blending.

• To avoid overheating during

blending, DO NOT use the tamper

for more than 30 consecutive

seconds.

• If the food does not circulate, the

machine may have trapped an

air bubble. Carefully remove the

lid plug while making sure the lid

stays firmly in place. Release the

air bubble by inserting the tamper

through the lid plug opening.

• Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate.

If necessary, point the tamper toward the sides or corners of the container.

DO NOT try to force the tamper deeper into the container.

CAUTION

Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with

Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.

Escaping steam, splashes or contents

may scald.

To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid

plug securely in place prior to operating the

machine and

always start on Low and then switch to High.

HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS

Hints for Setting Speeds

Always start the machine with the High/Low Switch in the Low ( ) position.

Increase speed as needed depending on the recipe used. If a recipe calls for

processing on High (), start on Low ( ) and then switch the High/Low Switch

up to the High ()position. Do not begin processing on the High ( ) setting.

Process on the High () setting for as much of the processing time as possible

to make whole food juices, soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butters

and for grinding grains. Processing times will generally be less than one minute

(most take less than 30 seconds). High ()speed provides the best quality of

refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables, and grains

to a smooth lump-free consistency.

TIP: Blending too long at low speed will overheat the machine and cause the

Automatic Overload Protection to turn the machine off. Use the High ()speed

as often as possible to achieve the most uniform consistency. Blending on

High ()speed also maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating.

When on the High (), if the food does not circulate, the machine may be

overloaded or may have trapped an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug

while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting

the tamper through the lid plug opening. If circulation problems continue, switch

to Low ( ) Speed. Using low speed may allow food to circulate when high

speed does not. Once the food is circulating freely, switch back to High ()and

continue processing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Wet Blade Container

Designed for processing liquids including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups,

purées, batters, and for wet chopping.

1. Make sure that the High/Low Switch is set to Low ( ).

2. Load the container before placing it on the motor base. Place liquids and soft

foods in the container ﬁrst, solid items and ice last. Although not necessary

for blending, you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more

precise measuring of ingredients.

3. Securely fasten the 2-part lid. Always use the complete 2-part lid

when blending (unless the tamper is inserted through the lid plug

opening). Especially when blending hot ingredients, make sure the lid is

securely latched.

4. With the motor o, set the wet blade container on the motor base by aligning

it over the centering pad.

5. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to

operate a motor base without a container properly in place.

Start with the High/Low Switch in the Low ()position. Always start your

machine on Low ( ). Activate the machine by turning the On/O Switch to

On (|). Your container will shift and get into an aligned position.

6. Take proper care when handling and processing hot ingredients and making

hot soups and sauces.

7. Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than

standard appliances. Until you are accustomed to the machine, count your

time carefully to avoid over-processing.

8. After turning the machine o, wait until the blades completely stop before

removing the lid or container from the motor base.

CAUTION

Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with

Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.

Escaping steam, splashes or contents

may scald.

To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid

plug securely in place prior to operating the

machine and always start on Low and then

switch to High.
