Blending Tips
Using the Tamper
The tamper helps speed up blending thick or
frozen mixtures and gets rid of air pockets.
NOTE:
• The pitcher should not be more than 2/3
full when using the tamper.
• To avoid overheating,
do not
use the
tamper for more than 30 seconds at
once.
• Do not
try to force the entire tamper
through the lid opening. The splash
guard on the tamper and the lid is meant
to make sure the tamper will not touch
the blades.
1.
Turn the speed control knob to the lowest
setting.
2.
Remove the measuring cap from the lid.
Insert the tamper through the lid opening.
3.
Use the tamper to push out any air pockets
and push down unblended foods in the
pitcher. Point the tamper towards the
sides and corners of the pitcher and push
ingredients towards the blades.
4.
Remove the tamper and replace the
measuring cap.
• Blending on the lowest setting for too
long may cause the motor to overheat,
especially with thick, dense mixtures.
Avoid blending on low for longer than 3
minutes.
• Blend on the highest setting as often as
possible to avoid overheating. Blending
on the highest setting will also give your
mixtures the most even consistency.
• Allow hot ingredients to cool to room
temperature before blending.
• If necessary, unplug the blender and use
a rubber spatula to scrape food from the
sides of the pitcher.

crushed ice.
