Motor Base/Control Panel: Unplug the power cord and gently wash the outside
surface with a damp soft cotton cloth moistened with a mild solution of warm
water* and nonabrasive detergent or nonabrasive liquid spray cleaner. Be careful
to not scratch or scrub the display window on the control panel. Never immerse
motor base in water or other liquid. Dry with a soft cotton cloth.
Lid: Wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse clean under running water and dry.
Cover Door: The cover can be removed (see pages 14 and 15) and cleaned by placing
under running water and washing with a soft cloth. Wipe dry and replace back on the base.
Sound Dampening Gasket and Container Centering Pad: The sound dampening
gasket located between the base and the cover door can be removed for cleaning
by simply pealing it off the base after the cover has been removed. (See pages 14
and 15 for cover removal).
Wash the gasket and pad in warm, soapy water. Rinse clean under running water and dry.
Reassemble before use. To reinstall the sound dampening gasket, simply lay it on the base
making sure that it fits snuggly against the centering pad. Replace the sound enclosure as
directed on page 15. Make sure the gasket is seated properly against the blender and the
centering pad. The gasket and the centering pad should be flat on the motor base.
Container: The Advance® container has been designed to be chemical resistant.
However, for maximum container life, hand washing is recommended.
To Clean: Wash all container parts in warm soapy water. Rinse and drain.
Do not soak the blade agitator assembly.**
To Sanitize: After all solid residue is removed, fill container 3/4 full with a sanitizing
solution mix.*** Return container to motor base and firmly position the two-piece lid.
Run machine on a high speed for 30 seconds. Turn machine off and allow mixture to
stand in the container for an additional 1 1/2 minutes. Pour out bleach mixture.
Return container to motor base and run machine empty for an additional
5 seconds. Do not rinse after sanitizing. Allow container to air dry.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
Sound Dampening Gasket: Do not wash in the dishwasher. High temperatures and
chemicals may cause the pad to swell. Do not soak. The gasket may absorb water and swell.
It can take 24-48 hours of air drying before it returns to its original size.
Blade Assembly: Do not soak the blade agitator assembly.
* B e sure to wring excess water out of cloth or sponge when cleaning around
the controls or any electrical part.
** T o prolong polycarbonate container life, Vitamix recommends using soaps with a
low PH balance, such as a liquid dishwashing detergent (Ivory Liquid®). Due to the
nature of polycarbonates, automatic dishwashing is not recommended.
*** R ecommended sanitizing solution: 1.5 tsp. / 7,4 ml institutional or household
bleach in 2 qt. / 1,9 L water.
