How To Use The Accelerator Tool
The accelerator tool allows you to process very thick and/or frozen
mixtures that cannot be processed in a regular blender. While the
machine is running, use the accelerator tool to push ingredients into the
blades as you make frozen ice creams, thick smoothies and nut butters, or
puree fruits and vegetables.
• Use it only with the lid locked in place and lid plug removed.
• The splash disk (near the top of the accelerator tool) and lid prevent the
accelerator tool from hitting the blades.
• The container should not be more than 2/3 full when the accelerator
tool is used.
• Do not use the accelerator tool for more than 30 consecutive seconds
(to avoid overheating).
• If thick mixtures stop circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble.
Insert the accelerator tool through the lid and stir to release it.
• Holding the accelerator tool straight should allow extra thick ingredients
to circulate. If not, point the accelerator tool toward the side or corner of
the container.

Power Cord. Your machine is equipped with a six-foot long cord. Store
the unused portion neatly underneath. Plastic cord retainer clips hold the
cord securely. There is no need to unscrew the cord retainer clips to let
out more cord. They are flexible and will return to position after the cord
is lifted out.
Automatic Temperature Protection. Your Vita-Mix motor is designed to
protect itself from overheating. If the motor shuts off, turn the power
switch OFF 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 container and blow air into the center section of the
bottom with a hair dryer on the cool setting.
