HOW TO USE THE TAMPER

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.

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles, types, and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied with your machine.

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.

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.
