Any repair, servicing, or the replacement of parts must be performed by Vitamix

never place a blade assembly on the motor base unless assembled to the

starting the machine and may cause injury.

16. Never attempt to operate with damaged blades.

17. Always operate blender with lid and lid plug ﬁrmly in place. The lid plug should be

removed only when adding ingredients and when using the tamper.

steam may cause scalding and burns. Do not ﬁll container to the maximum

capacity. Always begin processing on the lowest speed setting. Keep

hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent

possible burns.

one minute after the mixture starts to circulate in the container. Processing

for longer periods can cause dangerous overheating.

PARTS AND FEATURES

2-Part Lid: Always use the lid and the lid plug when the machine is in operation.

Snap the lid onto the container and leave in place for a few minutes. Once the lid

has been left on the container, it will be much easier to lock or remove.

Lid Plug: Insert through the lid and secure by turning clockwise. Remove the lid

plug to use the tamper or add ingredients.

To Lock the Lid in Place: On one side of the container, position the lid latch under

the container tab. Push down and apply pressure to the opposite side of the lid

until the lid latch fully seats under the opposite tab on the container. An audible

“click” will be heard. Never operate the blender without checking to make sure

the lid is securely locked in place.

To Remove the Lid Plug: Rotate the lid plug counterclockwise from the “locked”

to “unlocked” position and lift out.

To Remove the Lid:

1. If working with hot liquids, rotate the lid plug counterclockwise from the

“locked” to the “unlocked” position and slowly lift out to vent steam from

the container.

2. Above one of the container tabs, ﬁrmly press in on the lid and lift up

to release.

3. If the lid won’t release, insert the handle of a spoon into the container spout

and lift up until the lid releases from the container.

Retainer Nut Loosening

In the event that the retainer nut at the bottom of your container loosens and no

longer securely holds the blade assembly in place, do not continue to use the

container. Call Vitamix Customer Service at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840, or

your local dealer immediately for instructions.

TAMPER

How to Determine the Tamper that Can Be Used with

Your Container

Each type of tamper is designed to be used safely and eectively 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 to the

illustration below.

Before using the tamper during the blending process, verify that it is the

correct tamper.

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can

Cause Severe Injury.

DO NOT put hands, spatulas in the

container while the machine is running

or while the container is still on the

motor base.

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable

between dierent container styles, types,

and sizes. Use the tamper that was

supplied with your machine.

Do not use a tamper without a step in this

Vitamix Container.

TAMPER

• 64 oz. Short Containers use Tamper 016041 that is approximately

9-¾ inches long.

• 64 oz. Tall Containers use Tamper 000760 that is approximately

12-½ inches long.

• 32 oz. and 48 oz. Containers use Tamper 015033 that is approximately

11 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

easily ﬁt into the opening but will not come in contact with the blades no matter

how 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, call Vitamix Customer

service at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 or e-mail [email protected] to

order a new tamper. If purchased outside the United States or Canada, contact

your local Vitamix Dealer.

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.

HOW TO USE THE TAMPER

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can Cause

Severe Injury.

DO NOT put hands, spatulas in the

container while the machine is running

or while the container is still on the

motor base.

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable

between dierent container styles,

types, and sizes. Use the tamper that

was supplied with your machine.

Do not use a tamper without a step in

this Vitamix Container.
