Blender Tips; Using The Tamper - Weston 58918 Manual

Using Your Blender

Blender Tips

• To add foods when blender is operating,
remove filler cap and add ingredients
through the opening.
• For best performance, the minimum
amount of liquid needed per recipe is
one cup (8 ounces/237 ml). Add more
liquid if food is not blending properly.
The amount of liquid needed will vary
based on the other ingredients required
for blending.
• If blending action stops during blending
or ingredients stick to sides of jar, insert
tamper to help move the mixture around
or add more liquid to blender jar.
• Do not store food or liquids in blender
jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping blender jar
when in operation or at any time.
• Use when making nut butters
tamper
and blend in 1-minute intervals.

Using the Tamper

• The hand protector on the tamper and the
lid work together to prevent the tamper
from hitting the blades when the lid is
secured properly on the blender jar.
• The blender jar should not be more than
two-thirds full when the tamper is used
during blending.
• Only use the tamper provided with this
model blender. Do not use tampers made
for any other blender or blender model.
• Cutting large whole fruits and
vegetables may allow them to blend
more quickly.
• Do not fill blender jar past highest
graduation marking.
• Always place liquid in blender jar first,
then remaining ingredients.
• If ice or frozen fruit pieces are not
blending, stop the blender and pulse a
few times.
• Do not allow ice to stand or freeze in
jar. Immediately crush ice after placing
in jar.
NOTE: This machine is equipped
with motor overload protection. If the
motor stops during operation due to
overheating, unplug and allow it to cool
down for approximately 15 minutes.
Plug machine back in to resume normal
operation.
• If food does not circulate, an air bubble
may be trapped in the mixture. Remove
the blender jar from the blender base.
Remove the filler cap. Release the air
bubble by inserting the tamper through
the filler cap opening.
• Holding the tamper straight down may
not help ingredients circulate. If necessary,
point the tamper toward the sides or
corners of the blender jar. DO NOT try to
force the tamper deeper into the jar.
