Do not use tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds (to avoid stressing
the motor).
You may need to move the tamper not only up and down, but also side to side.
Jar Sensor – The unit is supplied with a jar sensor on the base. This will prevent
the motor or the control panel from starting if the blender jar is not properly
placed on the base.
If the jar is removed from the base during operation the unit will stop. To restart
the blender, turn the speed dial to “Off”, place the jar on the blender base and
select the preferred speed to begin again.
