TAMPER
CAUTION
Rotating blades can cause damage.
Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different Vitamix machines, container
styles, types, or sizes. Always use the tamper that was supplied with your machine.
DO NOT
put hands, spatulas, etc. in the container while the machine is running or while
the container is still on the base.
The tamper that was supplied with your blender is the correct tamper to use in the 40 ounce (1.2 L) container.
DO NOT use any other Vitamix tampers in the 40 ounce (1.2 L) container.
The tamper should easily fit into the lid opening and not come in contact with the blades no matter how you
move the tamper inside the container. If the tamper you are using touches the blades at any angle, DO NOT
use that tamper. Contact Vitamix Customer Service at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 to order a new
tamper, appropriate for use with your 40 ounce (1.2 L) container.

Hold onto the container handle while tamping.
DO NOT rock or tip the container on the motor base while
tamping. If the container comes off of the motor base, put
the container back onto the motor base and press in on the
center of the control knob to start the blades.
The tamper splash disk and lid prevent the tamper from
hitting the blades when the lid is in place.
The 40 ounce (1.2 L) container should not be more than
two-thirds full (28 ounces) if using the tamper during
the blend.
To avoid overheating, DO NOT use the tamper for more than
30 consecutive seconds.
Holding the tamper straight up and down may not help the
ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the end of the tamper
toward the container walls. DO NOT try to force the tamper
deeper into the container.
