Vitamix VM0178A - Tamper Operation; Safe Tamper Usage Guidelines

CAUTION
Rotating blades can cause damage.
Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between dierent 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 1.2-litre container.
DONOTuse any other Vitamix tampers in the 1.2-litre container.
The tamper should easily fit into the lid opening and not come into 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 Services on 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 to order
anew tamper, appropriate for use with your 1.2-litre 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 o of the motor base, the
stop symbol (O) on the control panel will flash, reminding you
that a reset is necessary. See page 8 for reset instructions.
The tamper splash disk and lid prevent the tamper from
hitting the blades when the lid is in place.
The 1.2-litre container should not be more than
two thirds full (0.8 l) 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
towards the container walls. DO NOT try to force the tamper
more deeply into the container.
