How To Remove The Top From A Vitamix Ascent A2500

Removing the Lid

The lid of the Vitamix Ascent A2500 is designed to provide a secure seal during blending. To remove the lid, follow these steps:

1. Ensure Safety: Before you attempt to remove the lid, make sure the blender is switched off and unplugged. This is a crucial safety step that should never be skipped.
2. Grab the Lid Firmly: The Vitamix Ascent A2500 has a two-part lid – a lid plug and the lid itself. Hold the handle of the lid plug with one hand and the tab of the lid with your other hand.
3. Twist and Lift: Twist the lid plug counterclockwise (to your left) and lift it up to remove it. After the lid plug is removed, lift the lid straight up to take it off the container.

Tips for Lid Removal

• If the lid is particularly stubborn, try running the container under warm water for a bit. The heat can help to loosen the lid.
• After each use, clean the lid and lid plug separately to prevent food build-up that could make them harder to separate in the future.
• Always hold the container securely with one hand while removing the lid with the other to prevent any accidents.
