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.
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.
