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.
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 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.
A non-step tamper MUST NOT be
used with any Vitamix 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.
