HOW TO USE THE tamper

The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/or frozen mixtures that cannot be processed in a regular blender. Using the tamper maintains circulation by preventing air pockets from forming. While the machine is running, and only through the lid plug opening, use the tamper to press ingredients into the blades as you make frozen ice creams and nut butters, or purée fruits and vegetables.

Manual background WARNING

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.

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.

Do not use the tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds (to avoid overheating).

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 always help the ingredients circulate. If need be, point the tamper toward the side or corner of

the container.
