G E N E R A L I N ST R U C T I O N S Instructions for using the Pre-Set Program Buttons The following is the basic settings of the six Pre-Set buttons for The Quiet One®. These programs, numbered 1 through 6, are blending cycles designed for the most commonly made drinks. Depending on the viscosity of the drink you are creating, selecting one of the Pre-Set programs will run the machine for a full cycle. The machine will stop by itself when the cycle is complete. A cycle varies in speed and length. Your machine’s Pre-Set options may differ due to program revisions or due to the difference of recipes, your results may also vary. BUTTON 1: G eneral Purpose / Smoothie – blends smoothies and thin drinks consisting of juice and ice to a creamy consistency. (:18) BUTTON 2: D ouble Smoothie – blends similar drinks to that of button 1 but at larger volumes. (:18) BUTTON 3: F rozen Coffee and Juices – blends light coffee drinks to a... - Page 7 • Never remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop. • Never start the motor before the container is in place. WARNINGS! • Turn power off or unplug the machine before touching movable parts. Shut off power switch at night or whenever machine will be left unattended. • I f you detect a change in the sound of the machine or if a hard or foreign object comes into contact with the blades, do not serve the drink. Inspect your blade assembly for loose, nicked or missing parts. If parts are loose, missing, or nicked, replace with new blade assembly. (See page 17.) IMPORTANT NOTES! • Check your blades daily for loose, nicked or missing parts. If you find something is loose, nicked or missing, replace the blade assembly before use (see page 17). Do not tighten hex-headed screw (on top of blade assembly). If loose, replace blade assembly immediately. • The instructions appearing in this Use and Care Manual cannot cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when operating and maintaining any appliance. • O n all units, the built-in thermal protector 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 two minutes. See page 23, “Cooling the Motor,” for complete instructions. When the thermal protector shuts the motor off, review your processing techniques and your instructions. Your recipes may be too thick or have too much material in them. Consider adding more liquid and consult Vitamix® Customer Service or your local Vitamix Distributor for further assistance.

Blade Assembly Blade Agitator Assembly: The blade assembly includes a precision-hardened stainless steel blade with enclosed double sealed steel ball bearings for maximum durability. The rugged blade assembly literally explodes molecules of food and ice in the container, helping every batch to homogenize more effectively. The blades do not need to be removed for normal cleaning. (Refer to the information below to remove or replace.) Drive Spline: Inserts into drive socket on the motor base to turn the blade. Note: Removing and replacing your container while the coupling is still rotating will strip the drive spline “teeth.” (This part is NOT removable.) Retainer Nut: Must be snug. Order the available Retainer Nut Wrench for best results. (Refer to the information below to remove or replace.) Blade Assembly Removal Retainer Nut Wrench At times, it may be necessary to give your blades additional cleaning. An easy-to-use blade assembly removal wrench (Item #15596) may be purchased.
