Blade Assembly - Vitamix Vita-Prep Manual Del Usario

CAUTION
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 that Can Be
Used with Your Container
The tamper is designed to be used safely and efficiently with the
commercial containers. If a tamper came with your container, it
is the correct tamper for the container.
To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on
an empty container, remove the lid plug and insert the tamper.
The tamper should fit easily into the lid opening but not make
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,
contact Vitamix Customer service in the US and Canada at 800-
437-4654 or email commercial@vitamix.com. Outside of the US
and Canada at +1.440.782.2450 or email international@vitamix.

Rotating Blades Can
Cause Severe Injury.
DO NOT put hands, spatulas, etc.
in 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.
Do not force the tamper into the
32 oz. Container.
Do not use a tamper without a
step in any Vitamix commercial
container.
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.
• 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. Continue
to use the tamper to press ingredients into the blade to
shorten processing time.
• Holding the tamper straight down may not help the
ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the tamper toward
the sides or corners of the container. DO NOT try to force the
tamper deeper into the container.
