HOW TO USE THE TAMPER

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can Cause Severe Injury.

•DO NOT put hands, spatulas etc. into 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 cap, while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting the tam- per through the lid cap opening.

•Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate. If necessary, point the tamper towards the sides or corners of the container.

DO NOT try to force the tamper more deeply into the container.
