WARNINGS!
When processing hot liquids:
• Do NOT expose the container to temperatures over 210°F (99°C). Do NOT expose the container to hot liquids or ingredients over 210°F (99°C). Do not leave
blender unattended when in use. Use caution. Escaping steam or splashes may scald. Never start on the highest speed when blending hot ingredients.
• When the machine is not in use, unplug the machine from the outlet.
• If you detect a change in the sound of the machine or if a hard or foreign object comes into contact with the blades, do not serve the contents. Inspect your blade assembly for loose,
nicked or missing parts. If parts are loose, missing or nicked, replace with a new blade assembly.
• Lock the lid. This will prevent the lid from blowing off when the machine is activated.
• Do not let mixtures, liquids or food products dry in the container. Rinse after use. Dry product may lock around the blade and weaken/tear the bearings seal when restarted. Do not place
containers in the freezer.
• Extremely low temperatures combined with hot ingredients and/or the immediate rapid action of the blade may crack the container. Due to the nature of the materials used in the
Advance containers, microwaving and automatic dishwashing are not recommended.
Blending Tips
• Place liquids and soft foods in the container first, then solid items and, finally, ice. High speed is
recommended for heavy-duty blending.
• Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centring pad anchored to the base.
(The motor must be completely stopped before positioning the container).
• Containers are not to be used for hard, dry materials. DO NOT run your machine with an empty container.
• Always use a lid when blending. If blending hot ingredients, the lid must be securely latched in place.
When processing hot liquids, DO NOT use a non-latching or one-piece lid.
• Plug the machine into the nearest outlet (if unplugged).
• When making nut butters use tamper to shorten processing time. When blending oil-based foods, do
not process for more than one minute after the mixtures starts to circulate in the container. Processing
for longer periods can cause damage to the container and motor overheating.
• Due to the blending speed of the machine, processing times are greatly reduced over other
manufacturers' machines. Until you become accustomed to the speed, watch your mixture carefully
to avoid over-blending.
• Automatic Overload Protection: Your Vitamix motor is designed to protect itself from overheating. If
the motor shuts off, press the On/Off Switch to Off. Turn the power switch on after 5 minutes to check if
blender is reset and ready to operate. The blender might require up to 45 minutes to reset.
Use
1. Depending on your model, perform the following:
• Drink Machine Two Speed - Make sure that the High/Low Switch is in the low position. Move the
On/Off switch to the On position. After starting the blend, move the High/Low switch to the High
position. Once the blend is complete, move the High/Low switch to the Low position. Move the
On/Off switch to the Off position.
• Drink Machine Advance - Move the On/Off switch to On. Select the desired program on the dial and
then press the Start/Stop switch to activate the blades.
2. If mixture stops circulating, you probably have a trapped air bubble. Depending on your model, perform
the following:
• Drink Machine Two-Speed – Insert the tamper through the lid while blending.
• Drink Machine Advance – Press Start/Stop to stop the motor. Remove the container from the base
and stir or scrape the mixture from the sides of the container into the center using a rubber spatula
to press any air bubbles away from the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
3. After the blender has been stopped, wait until the blade is completely still before removing the lid or
container from the motor base.
4. Drink Machine Advance: to use the pulse switch to refresh drinks: Make sure the power is on. With the
container on the motor base, depress the pulse switch. Release the switch to stop the motor.
5. Unplug the blender when not in use.
The Drink Machine Advance® is pre-programmed with settings optimised for the Advance® container. The programs can be customised by using a programming chip or programmer software
kit available from Vitamix®. Call your distributor or Customer Services for more information. Although your machine comes from the factory pre-set with the programs, follow these instructions
when using a custom programming chip.
Programming with a Custom Chip
1. Turn on the power to the machine using the On/Off switch located on the front of the machine below the control panel.
2. Remove the container and lift the front of the machine so that you can see the bottom programming port. Facing the front of the machine, insert the
custom programming chip with the silver contact bars up and the words, 'THIS SIDE FACING TO THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE' towards you into the
port located below the label area.
3. The On/Off Switch will flash during programming. Within 5 seconds, the six Pre-Set Programs will be re-programmed.
The On/Off switch will stop flashing when programming is complete.
4. Remove the programming chip, return it to the original package and store in a safe, easily accessible spot.
5. Place the machine back on its feet and replace the container.
Programming Port Resetting Pre-Set Programs to original factory settings
To reset, while holding down the Pulse switch, turn on the power to the machine with the On/Off switch. The On/Off switch will flash to confirm factory-
reset in progress.

Drink Machine Advance Programs
The following are settings of the six Pre-Set Programs. These programs, numbered 1 through 6, are blending
cycles designed for the most commonly made drinks. Depending on the viscosity of the drink you are creating,
selecting one of the six Pre-Set Programs will run the machine for a full cycle. The machine will stop by itself
when the cycle is complete. A cycle varies in speed and length. Your machine's Pre-Set options may differ due
to program revisions or if your machine was programmed specifically for your business. Due to the difference
of recipes, your results may also vary.
SETTING 1: (:15) Blends thin drinks with just juice and ice.
SETTING 2: (:18) Blends light coffee drinks.
SETTING 3: (:21) Creates a specialty drink with a thick viscosity.
SETTING 4: (:24) Creates ice cream and regular coffee drinks that need a little longer blending.
SETTING 5: (:27) Blends a regular smoothie.
SETTING 6: (:30) Blends thick frozen fruits & hard ingredients for a thick but consistent smoothie.
Best Blend Quality and Machine Performance - Ingredient Temperature Ranges:
Refrigeration temperature: 38° F (3.3° C) Note: blending refrigerated ingredients at a temperature of
41° F (5° C) or above is not recommended .Freezer temperature: 0° F (-17.7° C) Note: blending
ingredients at a temperature less than 0° F (-17.7° C) is not recommended.
