Automatic Overload Protection
Your Vitamix machine is equipped with a special feature: Automatic Overload
Protection. This built-in feature is designed to protect the motor and prevent your
machine from overheating. That means peace of mind for you as a Vitamix owner.
When engaged, this Automatic Overload Protection will cause the motor to shut
off and possibly emit a light odor.
If your Automatic Overload Protection should ever be activated, refer to
page 8 in this manual to easily reset your machine.
Tips to prevent "overloading" your Vitamix machine:
• Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the machine
• Do not process recipes at lower speeds than recommended
• Do not process recipes at higher speeds than recommended
• Do not process recipes longer than recommended
• Use your tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving
around and through the blades
Retainer Nut Loosening
In the event that the retainer nut at the bottom of your container loosens and no
longer securely holds the blade assembly in place, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE
THE CONTAINER. Contact Tel. UK: 0808 156 6633, Tel. Ireland: 0766 709854 imme-
diately for instructions.

2.
Turn the Variable Speed Dial back to 1.
This will reset the Variable Speed Function. When you move the Start/Stop switch
to the Start position, you will have full use of all variable speeds.
