Operating Instructions; How To Use The Tamper - Vita-Mix 7500 Owner's Manual

Important when using the Dry Blade Container:
Grinding dry material for more than two minutes could damage your machine. Regular use may result in cosmetic marring of the container and cause
the blades to become dull over time. Grinding some herbs may release oils, causing the container to discolor permanently. Others have strong odors
that may linger in the container, affecting the flavor of other foods. The grinding of some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to dull over
time, or the container to crack.
Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents may scald.
To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid plug securely in place prior to operating the machine.
Always start on Variable 1, slowly increase to 10.
Before using this container with programs or the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial pointing to the Stop
Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
1.
Load the container before placing it on the motor base.
2. Fasten the 2-part lid securely. Always use the complete 2-part lid when blending (unless the tamper is inserted through the lid cap
opening).
3. With the motor off, set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad. Never attempt to put a container onto
an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a container properly in place.
4.
To begin, make sure that the On / Off switch is in the On position.
5. Activate the machine by pressing the Start / Stop Switch. Your container will shift and align itself.
• Variable Speed - slowly increase the Variable Speed to the desired speed.
• Programs (Pro-750 only) - Rotate the dial to the left of center to the desired program.
Rotating Blades Can Cause Severe Injury.
• DO NOT put hands, spatulas, etc. in the container while the machine is running or while the container is still on the base.
• Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles, types, and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied
with your machine. If you do not have the correct tamper for your container, contact your local Vitamix dealer or distributor.
IMPORTANT:
• 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.
• To avoid overheating during blending, DO NOT use the tamper for more than
30 consecutive seconds.
• If the food does not circulate, carefully remove the lid plug while making sure the lid stays
firmly in place. Release the contents by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening.
• Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate.
If necessary, point the tamper toward the sides or corners of the container. DO NOT try to
force the tamper deeper into the container.
