How do I know if my machine is about to overheat?
You can check the motor temperature by turning the machine off, holding the number 2 button for 7 to 10 seconds and then reading the temperature. Under normal operation, the display will read Temp: Norm. If you do not see this reading, leave the machine off until the temperature returns to normal. To cool the machine, you can also operate the unit without a container, but with the sound enclosure door closed. This will circulate the warm air out and away, and bring cool air into the motor area.

How can I tell how much my machine is being used?
There are three different ways to measure your machine’s use. The first is a motor life timer. This displays the number of hours that the motor has been in operation. The second is a total cycle counter that shows the number of times the machine has been cycled. The third is a resettable count meter that can be used to compare the number of blends to register receipts.
To access this information on the Blending Station® Advance®:
Press the Vitamix® logo once to reveal the mode message on the control panel. Press button 1, then button 6 within five seconds to continue. Once the correct code is entered, the display will indicate the motor temperature (NORM, WARM, HOT), a usage count, and a total. The “COUNT” is a machine usage total and can be reset. This can be used to keep a count of the number of drinks sold in a week, day, or even an hour. To clear, press and hold the START/STOP button for 5 seconds. The “TOTAL” keeps track of the machine usage, including production and testing, and cannot be cleared. See your Owner’s Manual for complete instructions.
