B Lending Tips; Maintenance Tips - Vita-Mix Touch and GO Owner's Manual

B lending Tips
1. If your recipe freezes up, try reducing the amount of ice. Compared
to other blenders, you do not need as much ice to make an equally
frozen drink in a Touch and Go
2. Place liquids and soft foods in your container first. Hard items and ice
should be placed last.
3. Whole, hard or frozen ingredients should be small. Solid frozen fruit is
extremely difficult to blend. For best results use semi-frozen fruit. Using
same size batches of semi-frozen fruit and ice will keep your drinks
consistent. If you notice chunks, reevaluate the batch size.
4. When creating recipes, always allow for enough liquid to ease the
blending process. For recipes with minimal liquid, use the SPEED
CONTROL buttons to run the machine on its lowest settings until it is
processing smoothly. Finish blending by using one of the PRE-SET
PROGRAMS that best matches the drinks viscosity.

Maintenance Tips:

• NEVER bang the container against a surface to loosen the ingredients.
Remove the container from the base and use a rubber spatula to remove
thick mixtures from the bottom of your container.
• NEVER shake or rattle a container in use while seated on the motor base.
• NEVER remove the container before the machine has come to a
complete shop.
• NEVER start the motor before the container is in place.
The instructions appearing in this Owner's Manual cannot cover
every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common
sense and caution must be practiced when operating and
maintaining any appliance.
