Before using the machine for the first time, clean your new container by
running the machine with 5 cups (1.2 l) of warm water and one drop of
liquid detergent for two minutes to remove any oils or particles resulting
from manufacturing or shipping.
1. Twist lid plug to remove. Fill container to the
5 cup (1.2 l) level with warm water.
2. Add 2 drops of liquid dishwashing detergent.
3. Insert lid plug. Twist to locked position.
4. Be sure the complete lid is secure. Run machine on the
Smoothies setting; allow programmed cycle to complete.
5. At High speed, your Vita-Mix machine becomes its own dishwasher.
However, some recipes may require additional light cleaning.
6. Rinse container, lid and lid plug under running water.
Let air-dry or wipe with a clean cloth.
Notes: Some thick mixtures, such as breads and batters, may need
additional washing by hand. We do not recommend washing the container in
the dishwasher. When storing the lid on the container, either remove the lid
plug or thoroughly dry both the lid and container to avoid trapping moisture.
