WARNINGS!
Rotating blades can cause severe injury. DO NOT reach into the container while the machine
is running.
When processing hot liquids or mixtures:
• The two-part latching lid must be securely locked in place. Do not use the one-piece lid or a
non-latching lid. This allows steam to escape naturally and will prevent the lid from coming off
when the machine is turned on.
• Do not start processing hot liquids at high speed. Always start processing hot liquids on a low
speed, then progress to a high speed while the machine is running.
• Use caution with hot liquids. Liquids may spray from under the lid plug or escaping steam may
cause scalding.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
Containers:
Drink Machine Advance blenders are optimised for use with the Vitamix 1.4 L Advance container.
Use of Vitamix Standard containers (2.0 L, 0.9 L) may require programming adjustments. Call Vitamix
Customer Services or your distributor for more information. Outside the United States and Canada,
your machine may come with a different container configuration.
Note: Your control panel switches may look different from this illustration.

Container
Rotating blades can cause severe injury. DO NOT reach into the container while the
machine is running.
Do not force the tamper into the container. Excessive force may cause the tamper to extend
too far into the container and may cause damage to the blades.
Do not use the older tamper that has a straight and smooth surface and no 'step'. Use of the
older model may cause damage to the blades.
Blade Assembly
When processing hot liquids or mixtures:
• The two-part latching lid must be securely locked in place. Do not use the one-piece lid or a
non-latching lid. This allows steam to escape naturally and will prevent the lid from coming
off when the machine is turned on.

• Do not start processing hot liquids at high speed. Always start processing hot liquids on a
low speed, then progress to a high speed while the machine is running.

• Use caution with hot liquids. Liquids may spray from under the lid plug or escaping steam
may cause scalding.

The Tamper, sold with Drink Machine Two-Speed machines, prevents air bubbles from forming while
blending and allows for the processing of very thick and/or difficult-to-process frozen mixtures.
While the machine is running, use the tamper to push the ingredients onto the blades.
Using the Tamper:
•
If thick mixtures stop circulating, you may have a trapped air bubble. Insert the tamper through
Motor Base
the lid and stir to release it.
•
Use it only with the lid locked in place and lid plug removed.
•
The splash disc (near the top of the tamper) and lid prevent the tamper from hitting the blades
when the lid is secured properly.
Feet
•
The container should not be more than 2⁄3 full when the tamper is used.
•
Do not use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds (to avoid overheating).
•
Holding the tamper straight should allow extra-thick ingredients to circulate. If they do not
circulate, point the tamper towards the side or corner of the container.
