TAMPER

CAUTION

Rotating Blades Can Cause Damage.

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles, types and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied with your machine.

How to Determine the Tamper to be Used with Your Container

Each type of tamper is designed to be used safely and effectively with a particular container. If a tamper came with your container, it is the correct tamper for the container. 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 compare your container with the containers and matching tampers in the illustration below.

Before using the tamper during the blending process, verify that it is the correct tamper.

•2.0 L (64 oz.) Short Containers use Tamper P/N 016041, which is approximately 9-¾ inches long.

•2.0 L (64 oz.) Tall Containers uses Tamper P/N 000760, which is approximately 12-½ inches long.

•0.9 L and 1.4 L (32 oz. and 48 oz.) Containers use Tamper P/N 015033, which is approximately 11 inches long.

To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on an empty container, remove the lid cap and insert the tamper. If it is the correct tamper, it should fit easily into the opening, but should not come into contact with the blades no matter where you move the tamper inside the container. IF THE TAMPER TOUCHES THE BLADES AT ANY ANGLE - DO NOT USE THE TAMPER WITH YOUR CONTAINER.

If you do not have the correct tamper for your container, call Vitamix Customer Services on 1.800.848.2649 or +1.440.235.4840, or email service@vitamix.com to order a new tamper. If purchased outside the United States or Canada, contact your local Vitamix Dealer.
