Vita-Mix Drink Machine Blender User Manual

The tamper prevents an air bubble from
forming while blending. It is used when
making frozen ice creams, pureeing fruits
and vegetables, (or whenever your mixture
requires it). It also permits you to push
ingredients down around the blades while
the Vita-Mix blender is running.
Tamper use:
• Use only with the lid in place and the
center lid plug removed.
• The splash disc prevents the tamper
from hitting the blades when inserted
through the lid.
• Container should not be more than
2/3 full (just below the indicated
maximum capacity for MP containers)
when the tamper is left in place while
blending.
To avoid overheating, do not exceed
30 seconds of continuous blending
with tamper in place.
• If thick mixtures stop circulating, you
have likely trapped an air bubble.
Insert tamper through the lid and stir
to release it.
• Holding the tamper at an angle near
the side and pushing towards the
center will be more effective when
creating a thicker, smoother drink.
Warning
When processing hot liquids always:
Use caution; escaping steam or splatters may scald.
• Completely latch the lid; this will prevent expansion from blowing it off when the
machine is turned on.
Start on LOW speed then switch to HIGH speed. Never start on HIGH speed with
hot ingredients.
• Do not process hot ingredients with a non-latching lid.
*NOTE:
Tampers have a small step on
them. The step prevents the tamper from
coming into contact with the blades in Vita-Mix
polycarbonate containers. Tampers cannot
be used with a one piece non-latching lid.
