WARNING
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.
• 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.
