How to Determine the Tamper to be Used with Your

Container

Before using a tamper during the blending, verify that

you have the correct tamper. Only use the tamper

with the lid securely locked in place and the lid plug

removed. If a tamper came with your blender at

purchase, it is the correct tamper to use. If a tamper

did not come with your blender or you want to

determine if a tamper that you already have can be

used with your new container, please use these steps

and illustrations to determine what tamper to use.

1. Place the lid on an empty container.

64 oz. / 2,0 L (SHORT)

64 oz. / 2,0 L (TALL)

The 64 oz. / 2 L Short (or Low Proﬁle) Container uses a

tamper which is approximately 11 inches long.

The 64 oz. / 2 L Tall Container uses a tamper which is approximately

A non-step tamper MUST NOT be

used with any Vitamix container.

ot h e r Vi ta m i x co n ta i n e r S a n d ta m p e r S

2. Remove the lid plug and insert the tamper through the lid plug opening. The tamper should ﬁt easily into

tamper with warm, soapy water. Rinse all parts. Wipe dry with a dry, soft cloth.

2. Choose a space on the counter that is level, dry and clean. Plug the blender into a grounded, 3-prong outlet.

Note: Your Vitamix container is designed to be completely cleanable without removing the retainer nut and blade assembly.

DO NOT attempt to remove the retainer nut or blade assembly from the container. Our Normal Cleaning and Sanitizing

procedures or a dishwasher cleaning cycle will ensure a complete and thorough cleaning of your container and it’s

components. If your container is damaged, please do not use. Contact Vitamix Customer Service IMMEDIATELY for assistance.

7. If the mixture stops circulating, insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it ‘burps’. If this does not work, press

the On/O switch to stop the motor. Remove the container from the blender base and use a rubber spatula to press the

air bubble away from the blades. Add liquid if necessary. Replace the lid and lid plug. Return the container to the blender

base and continue blending.

8. After blending, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container from the blender base.

Tips to prevent ‘overloading’ your blender:

• Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the blender.

• Do not process recipes at lower or higher speeds than 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.

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 blender 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 deeper into the container.
