The Tamper

Only use the tamper provided with the unit, 

do not use any other accessories as this 
may damage the accessory and the unit. 

To ensure the tamper is the correct one, 
remove the lid cap and insert the tamper. 
The tamper splash disk will rest on the lid 

and the tamper will not come into contact 
with the blades no matter how you move  
the tamper around the container. 

The Tamper should only be used in 
conjunction with the blender lid.  

The tamper splash disk stops the tamper 
from hitting the blades during use. 

The container should not be more  
than 2/3 full when using the tamper; 
otherwise it may cause the ingredients  
to overflow. 

Do not use the tamper for more than  

30 seconds at a time during blending;  
this is to reduce the chance of overheating. 

If the food does not circulate, it may be 
that there is an air pocket, remove the lid 

cap and insert the tamper and move the 
ingredients from side to side to free the air pocket.  

Do not force it towards the bottom of the container. 

Before First Use

Before first use clean the container and single serve beaker following the instructions 
outlined in the Care and Cleaning section. Wash the lid, lid cap, tamper, and travel lid in 
warm soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not submerge the container into water 

as this will damage the locking nut assembly. Wipe the base unit with a soft damp cloth to 
remove any packing dust.
