Tips to prevent 'overloading' your blender:
Process only Vitamix recipes when learning to use the blender. Do not process recipes at lower
speeds than recommended. Do not process recipes at 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.
Tamper - Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different container styles,
types and sizes. Use the tamper that was supplied with your blender.
The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the tamper is used.
