Vitamix PROFESSIONAL SERIES Owner's Manual page 8

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.
Automatic Overload Protection: Your Vitamix motor is
designed to protect itself from overheating. If the motor shuts
off, follow these instructions:
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 con-
tainer, 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.
