Tamper – The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/
or frozen mixtures that cannot be processed in a regular blender. If food is not
circulating the machine may be overloaded or may have a trapped air bubble.
Using the tamper helps to maintain circulation by preventing air pockets from
forming. While the machine is running, remove the filler cap, and through the
hole in the lid insert the tamper and use it to press ingredients into the blades as
you make frozen ice creams, nut butters, etc.
The container should not be more than 2/3 full when the tamper is used
during blending.
Do not use tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds (to avoid stressing
the motor).
You may need to move the tamper not only up and down, but also side to side.
Interlock – The unit is supplied with an interlock on the base. This will prevent
the motor or the control panel from starting if the blender jar is not properly
placed on the base.
If the jar is removed from the base during operation the unit will stop. To restart
the blender, turn the speed dial to "Off", place the jar on the blender base and
select the preferred speed to begin again. The motor will not restart unless the
unit is turned OFF first.
