Blending Tips; Maintenance Tips - Vita-Mix T&G2 Blending Station Owner's Manual

7. When the cycle is complete the blender stops. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop
before removing the lid and/or container from the motor base.
8. Remove the container, pour, garnish and serve the drink.
NOTE:
On all units the built-in thermal sensor keeps track of how hot the motor gets and will warn the
user and eventually shut down the motor if the motor is overheating. When overheated the display will
instruct the user to remove the container and run the machine until cool. This takes about a minute. See
page 19, "Cooling the Motor," for complete instructions.
When overheating occurs, review your techniques and instructions. The motor may be getting hot
when your recipes are too thick. Consider adding more liquid and consult Vita-Mix for further assistance.

Blending 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 T&G 2
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, re-evaluate the batch size.
4. When creating recipes, always allow for enough liquid to ease the blending process.

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 while in use.
• NEVER remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop.
• 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.
