Motor

will not start immediately check to make sure you have plugged the unit in and
the On/Off switch is On. If the motor has overheated, allow the motor to cool for
20-45 minutes.
Tips to prevent ‘overloading’ your blender:
Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the blender.
Do not process recipes at lower speeds than recommended.
Do not process recipes at higher speeds than recommended.
Do not process recipes for longer than recommended. Use your tamper to
process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving around and through the
blades.
Tamper
- Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container
styles, types and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied with your blender.
The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the tamper is used.
