Alteration or modification of any part of the blender base or container, including the use of any part or parts that are not genuine authorized Vitamix parts, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
The use of attachments not expressly authorized or sold by Vitamix for use with this blender, including canning jars, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not let the cord contact a hot surface, including the stove.
Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A rubber scraper or spatula may be used, but only when the Vitamix blender is not running.
The tamper provided must be used only when the main part of the lid is in place.
Blades are sharp. Handle or remove the blade and the blade assembly from the container with extreme care to avoid injury. To reduce the risk of injury, never place a blade assembly on the motor base unless assembled to the Vitamix container.
Do not leave foreign objects, such as spoons, forks, knives, or the lid plug, in the container, as this will damage the blades and other components when starting the machine and may cause injury.
Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
Do not leave foreign objects, such as spoons, forks, knives, or the lid plug, in the container as this will damage the blades and other components when starting the machine and may cause injury.
Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.
Always operate the blender with the lid and lid plug firmly in place. The lid plug should be removed only when adding ingredients and when using the tamper.
When blending hot liquids or ingredients, use caution; spray or escaping steam may cause scalding and burns. Do not fill the container to the maximum capacity. Always begin processing on the lowest speed setting, variable speed 1. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent possible burns.
When making nut butters or oil-based foods, do not process for more than one minute after the mixture starts to circulate in the container. Processing for longer periods can cause dangerous overheating.

PARTS AND FEATURES

On/Off Switch: The On/Off (or Power) Switch is on the right side of the machine base. The On/Off Switch controls the power to the machine. When the Pulse and Start / Stop Symbols brighten, the On / Off Switch is in the On position, and power is flowing.
Control Panel: For more information, refer to the Control Panel on Page 9.
CAUTION: Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles, types, and sizes. For more information, refer to Tamper on Page 12.
Low-profile 64-oz. capacity container with 2-part lid:
- Always use the lid and the lid plug when the machine is in operation
- Never operate the blender without checking to make sure that the lid is securely locked in place.
- Ounces, Milliliters, and Cups are marked.
- Insert the lid plug through the lid and secure by turning clockwise.
- Remove the lid plug to use the tamper or to add ingredients.
Tamper: Using the tamper maintains circulation by preventing air pockets from forming during blending.

To Lock the Lid in Place: Position the lid on the container with the lid flaps midway between the spout and the handle. Push the lid onto the container until it locks into place. The lid must always be secured when processing, especially when blending hot liquids that may scald. Never operate the blender without checking to make sure that the lid is securely locked in place.
To Remove the Lid: Lift up on one lid flap while holding the container securely.
To Remove the Lid Plug: Rotate the lid plug anti-clockwise from the “locked” to the “unlocked” position and lift out.
Power Cord: Your machine is equipped with a long power cord. Store the unused portion neatly underneath. Plastic cable retainers hold the cord securely. They are flexible and return to position after the cord is lifted out.

CONTROL PANEL

On / Off Switch:
The On / Off (or Power) Switch is located on the lower right-hand side of the machine. The On / Off Switch controls the power to the machine. BEFORE moving the On / Off Switch to the On (I) position, make sure the marker on the Variable Speed Dial is pointed at the Stop Symbolat the top of the dial. After plugging in the unit, move the On / Off Switch to the On position to ready the machine for blending. Move the On / Off Switch to the Off position at night and whenever the machine will be left unattended. If the On / Off switch is moved to the Off position to stop a program mid-cycle, wait 30 seconds for power to recycle and the timer to reset before moving the On / Off switch to the On position. When the Pulse and Start / Stop Symbols brighten, the On / Off Switch is in the On position, and power is flowing.
Start/ StopSwitch:
After the marker on the Variable Speed Dial is rotated off of the Stop Symbolto either Variable Speed 1 or a Program setting, press the Start / Stop Switch to start the machine and initiate the blending process. Pressing the Start / Stop Switch again will stop the blending process. Programs can be interrupted by pushing down the Start / Stop switch at any time. If reactivated by pushing down the Start / Stop switch, the program will start at the beginning.
Pulse Switch:
Variable Speed: Pressing down on the Pulse Switch will cause the machine to blend at the speed setting shown on the Variable Speed Dial for as long as the Pulse Switch is held down.
Programs: The Pulse function can be used when a program is selected. Pushing down the Pulse switch when a program is selected will cause the machine to run at 50% of high power for as long as the Pulse switch is pushed down.
Variable Speed Dial:
The Variable Speed Dial serves two functions: the use of five program settings or ten Variable Speed settings.
- To use programs: rotate the Variable Speed Dial to the left to the desired program.
- To use Variable Speed:
  - Rotate the Variable Speed dial right to 1.
  - To activate the blending process, press down on the Start / Stop Switch.
  - Rotate the Variable Speed dial to the right or left during blending to increase or decrease the speed of the blades.
  - At the end of the blending cycle, rotate the marker on the Variable Speed dial back to the Stop Symbolat the top of the dial.
Programs:
Your Professional Series 750 is equipped with five program settings for the most commonly used recipes. Rotating the Variable Speed Dial left of center allows you to select a program for Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, Soups, Purées, and a Cleaning cycle.

ABOUT THE BLADES

The wet-blade container comes as standard with the Vitamix machine. The blade is identified by a “W” for wet. This blade is used for most of your recipes. Additional containers with wet or dry blades may be purchased separately.

Wet-Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids, including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soup, purées, batter, and for wet chopping. The wet blades can also process grain and knead dough, but they are not quite as efficient as the dry blades in this application. See instructions for dry container use.
Dry-Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D” and are designed specifically for processing dry materials such as grain, cereal, and coffee, and are also used for kneading bread dough. The dry blades CANNOT process liquids efficiently. If you prepare herbs regularly, you may wish to purchase a separate dry-blade container.

TAMPER

How to Determine the Tamper to be Used with Your Container

Before using a tamper during the blending process, verify that you have the correct tamper. If a tamper came with your machine and container at purchase, it is the correct tamper to use. If a tamper did not come with your container or you want to determine if a tamper that you already have can be used with your new container, please see the inspection steps and illustration below.

Place the lid on an empty container.
Remove the lid plug and insert the tamper. The tamper should fit easily into the opening. It should not come into contact with the blades, no matter where you move the tamper inside the container
Visually inspect: IF THE TAMPER TOUCHES THE BLADES AT ANY ANGLE, DO NOT TAMPER WITH YOUR CONTAINER.
If you do not have the correct tamper for your container, contact Vitamix Household Customer Service at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840.

HOW TO USE THE TAMPER

IMPORTANT!

The splash disk (near the top of the tamper) and lid prevent the tamper from hitting the blades when the lid is secured properly in the locked position.
The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the tamper is used during blending.
To avoid overheating during blending, DO NOT use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds.
If the food does not circulate, the machine may have trapped
an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening.
Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the tamper towards the sides or corners of the container. DO NOT try to force the tamper more deeply into the container.

HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS

Variable Speed

Before using the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial marker pointed at the Stop Symbolat the top of the dial.

Rotate the dial right to Variable Speed 1.
To activate the blending process, press down on the Start / Stop Switch.
Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the recipe used.
At the end of the blending cycle, rotate the Variable Speed dial back to the Stop Symbolat the top of the dial.

Use the highest setting called out in the recipe for as much of the processing time as possible to make whole-food juices, soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butters, and for grinding grains. Processing times will generally be less than one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). Higher speed provides the best quality of refinement. Blending too long at too low of a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn off the machine. Blending at a higher speed maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating. If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve, insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it “burps.” If this does not work, press the On / Off switch to stop the motor. Remove the container from the motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and continue blending.

Programs

Programs vary in blending speed and duration and will automatically stop at the end of the program.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

During your first few uses, you may notice a slight burning odor as the motor is primed. This is completely normal and will dissipate quickly.
Before you begin, look at the control panel. Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is pointed at the Stop Symbolat the top of the dial.

Before beginning to blend, look at the control panel to make sure the Variable Speed Dial is pointed to the Stop Symbolon the control panel.
Load the ingredients into the container according to the recipe.
Securely fasten the 2-part lid. Always use the complete 2-part lid when blending (unless the tampers are inserted through the lid plug opening). Especially when blending hot ingredients, make sure that the lid is securely latched.
With the motor off, set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a container properly in place.
Use the Variable Speed dial to select a function.
- Variable Speed: Rotate the dial right of center to Variable Speed 1.
- Programs: Rotate the dial left of center to the desired program.
Activate the blades by pressing the Start / Stop Switch. Your container may shift as it gets into an aligned position.
- Variable Speed: Slowly rotate the Variable Speed dial to the right to the desired speed.
- Programs: The programs vary in blending speed and duration and will automatically stop at the end of the program. Programs can be interrupted by pushing down the Start / Stop switch at any time. If reactivated by pushing down the Start / Stop switch, the program will start at the beginning.
If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve, insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it “burps.” If this does not work, press the On / Off switch to stop the motor. Remove the container from the motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and continue blending.
Take proper care when handling and processing hot ingredients and making hot soups and sauces.
Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than standard appliances. Until you are accustomed to the machine, count your time carefully to avoid over-processing.
After pressing the Start / Stop switch to stop the cycle, wait until the blades stop completely before removing the lid or container from the motor base.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT USE OF THE DRY CONTAINER:

Grinding dry material for more than two minutes could damage your machine.
Regular use may result in cosmetic marring of the container and cause the blades to become dull over time.
Grinding some herbs may release oils, causing the container to discolor permanently.
Others have strong odors that may linger in the container, affecting the flavor of other foods.
The grinding of some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to dull over time or the container to crack.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Automatic Overload Protection

Your Vitamix motor is designed to be protected from overheating during use. This feature will shut off the motor. The motor will possibly emit a slight odor. If the motor shuts off due to overheating while blending, allow the machine to cool for 20-45 minutes before beginning another blending cycle. If you continue to experience problems after following these instructions, contact our Customer Service Department at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 for instructions. Tips to prevent “overloading” your Vitamix machine:

Only process Vitamix recipes when learning to use the machine.
Do not process recipes at lower speeds than those recommended.
Do not process recipes at higher speeds than those 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.

Retainer Nut Loosening

If the retainer nut at the bottom of your container loosens and no longer securely holds the blade assembly in place, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE CONTAINER. Call Vitamix Customer Service at 1-800-848-2649 or 1-440-235-4840, or your local dealer immediately for instructions.
