Vita-Mix PROFESSIONAL SERIES 300 User Manual

Dry Blade Container

If purchased, your dry blade container should only be used for hard,

dry materials such as grain, and for kneading dough.

1. Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is set to 1.
2. Securely fasten the 2-Part. Always use the complete 2-Part lid when blending

(unless the tamper is inserted through the lid plug opening).

3. With the motor off, set the dry blade container on the motor base by aligning it

over the centering pad. Never attempt to put a container on an operating motor

base or to operate a motor base without a container properly in place.

4. Start with the On / Off Switch in the On position. Always start your machine on

Variable Speed 1. Activate the machine by lifting up the Start / Stop Switch to the

Start ( ) position and slowly increase the Variable Speed to the desired speed.

5. After turning off the machine, wait until the blades completely stop before

removing the lid or container from the motor base.

6. Due to the machine’s speed and the sometimes-short processing times, count

your time carefully to avoid over-processing.

7. 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.

8. Grinding some herbs may release volatile 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.
