CAUTION

Rotating Blades Can Cause Damage.

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between dierent container styles, types and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied with your blender.

• The 64 oz. / 2 L Short (or Low Proﬁle) and 48 oz./ 1.4 L Aerating Container uses a tamper which is

approximately 11 inches long.

• The 64 oz. / 2 L Tall Container uses a tamper which is approximately 12-½ in. long.

• The 48 oz./ 1.4 L and 32 oz./0.9 L Containers use a tamper which is approximately 9-¾ in. long.

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.

2. Remove the lid plug and insert the tamper through the lid plug opening. The tamper should ﬁt easily into the opening. It should not come into contact with the blades no matter where you move the tamper inside the container.

3. Visually inspect: IF THE TAMPER TOUCHES THE BLADES AT ANY ANGLE, DO NOT USE THE

TAMPER WITH YOUR CONTAINER.

4. If you do not have the correct tamper for your container, contact Vitamix Household Customer Service at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840.
