Tamper; How To Use The Tamper - Vitamix VM0102D Owner's Manual

t
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.
• 64 oz. / 2 L Short Containers use Tamper P/N 016041, which is
approximately 11 inches long.
• 64 oz. / 2 L Tall Containers uses Tamper P/N 000760, which
is approximately 12-½ inches long.
• 32 oz. and 48 oz. / 0.9 L and 1.4 L Containers use Tamper P/N
015033, which is approximately 9-¾ inches long.
To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on
an empty container, remove the lid plug 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, contact your local Vitamix Dealer.

WARNING
Rotating Blades Can Cause
Severe Injury.
• DO NOT put hands, spatulas etc.
into the container while the machine
is running or while the container is
still on the base.
• Lids and tampers are not
interchangeable between different
container styles, types and sizes.
Use the tamper that was supplied
with your machine.
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 machine 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 more deeply into the container.
