From single serving drinks to simple kitchen prep work, the new Vita-Mix 32 oz./0.9 Ltr. container is designed with performance in mind. Simplicity in sealing the Lid Plug improves the performance of the lid and allows you to operate your machine with confidence at any speed. For best results, make sure the lid and plug are in the “lock” position, especially when processing hot liquids. After reading this sheet, please place in your machine’s owner’s manual for easy reference. If you have any questions, please call Vita-Mix Customer Service or your local Vita-Mix Distributor.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY. THE 32 OZ. / 0.9 LTR. VITA-MIX® CONTAINER MUST BE USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ FIRST!
ACCELERATOR TOOL/TAMPER INSTRUCTIONS The accelerator tool/tamper allows you to process very thick and/or frozen mixtures that cannot be processed in a blender. While the machine is running, use the accelerator tool/tamper to push ingredients into the blades as you make frozen desserts, thick smoothies and nut butters, or puree fruits and vegetables.
WARNING: Container blade is sharp. Handle carefully. • Never try to remove blade while container is sitting on the base. • Never place blade assembly on base without container properly attached.
WARNING: Keep hands and utensils out of the container while motor is running to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury and/or damage to the Vita-Mix.
Your new Vita-Mix 32 oz. / 0.9 Ltr. Container can only be used with the Accelerator Tool/Tamper designed with the “step” (see Figure 1). DO NOT USE the older Accelerator Tool/Tamper model, shown in Figure 2, that has a straight and smooth surface and no “step.” Use of this model will cause damage to the blades.
WARNING: When blending hot ingredients, always start the machine on
1. Lock the lid in place (see lid assembly instructions) and remove the Lid Plug by turning the plug to an unlocked icon. 2. To help circulate the ingredients, hold the Accelerator Tool/Tamper straight and push it through the lid opening until the “step” touches the lip of the lid. For extra thick ingredients, point the tool toward the side or corner of the container if needed. Do not push the Accelerator Tool/ Tamper “step” past the lip of the lid (see Figure 3).
LOW. The Container Lid and Lid Plug must be latched and used in accordance with the following Lid and Lid Plug locking instructions. Failure to do so could result in hot liquid escaping from the Container Lid. Our patent-pending lid locking feature allows the processing of up to 32 oz. / 0.9 Ltr. in a compact container, as well as the ability to process hot liquids – not possible in a typical blender.

1. Looking at the top of the Container Lid, you will see small icons that indicate locked and unlocked positions. 2. Position the Lid Plug over the Container Lid and align either of the position indicator tabs on the Lid Plug with one of the unlocked icons, then press the Plug into the Lid. 3. With the Plug pressed firmly into the Lid, turn the Plug until one of the position indicator tabs is aligned with the locked icon. 4. If you are unsure if the plug is locked, turn the lid over. The locking feet must be seated into the Lid locking notches. The bottom surface of the Plug should be snug against the top of the Lid. 5. The Lid has a continuous rim that fits inside the Container. Push the Lid into the Container until the side latches are properly engaged under the Container rim.

DO NOT FORCE the Accelerator Tool/Tamper into the 32 oz. / 0.9 Ltr. Container. Excessive force may cause the Accelerator Tool/Tamper to extend too far into the container and possibly cause damage to the blades. See the machine’s manual for additional information about the use of the Accelerator Tool/Tamper.
