7. If the mixture stops circulating, insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it ‘burps.’ If this does not work,
press the On/O switch to stop the motor. Remove the container from the blender base and use a rubber spatula
to press the air bubble away from the blades. Add liquid if necessary. Replace the lid and lid plug. Return the
container to the blender base and continue blending.
8. After blending, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container from the blender base.
Tips to prevent ‘overloading’ your blender:
• Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the blender.
• Do not process recipes at lower or higher speeds than recommended.
• Do not process recipes for longer than recommended.
• Use your tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving around and through the blades.
How to use the Tamper:
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, the blender may have trapped an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug, while
making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble 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 towards
the sides or corners of the container. DO NOT try to force the tamper deeper into the container.
Follow these instructions if you prefer not to wash your container in the dishwasher.
