Using the Tamper
The tamper is useful when preparing thick or frozen mixtures.
The tamper can be used while the machine is running.
1. Make sure lid is secure and locked in place.
2. Remove cap from lid.
3. Insert tamper through the opening in the lid.
4. Hold the pitcher handle with one hand,
grasp tamper with the other hand.
5. Move up and down or in a circular motion
to move contents around the blade.
Tips for Using the Tamper:
When preparing thick mixtures that don’t circulate freely, insert the
tamper and move in a circular motion. This will help remove any air or
ingredients trapped by the blade. Do not ll the pitcher more than 2/3
full when blending thick or frozen mixtures. We do not recommend
using the tamper for more than 25 continuous seconds. The lid
prevents the tamper from making direct contact with the blade.
NOTE: In the event the motor overheats during operation it will
automatically shut o. To restore power press the Reset Buttton
located on the bottom of the unit (see Figure A page 6).
Using Your HealthMaster
• Always remove all stems and large pits such as peach, mango, apricot, etc.
before processing as these items can damage the blade and cause the motor
to malfunction.
• Thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables before juicing to remove any dirt
or chemicals.
• Fruits and vegetables juice best when they are fresh and rm.
• Always serve fresh foods immediately. After just a few seconds they begin to
lose vitamin potency.
Using the Simmer/Heat Feature
1. Add liquids rst, then carefully add the solids, avoiding splashing that could
cause personal injury when liquids are hot.
2. When adding hot liquid to the pitcher, let sit for 3–5 minutes with the cap
removed, allowing the steam escape.
3. Secure lid and EZ-lock cap on the pitcher making sure both are in the
locked position.
4. Push the ON control button and then the RUN button.
5. Slowly increase the speed control from #1 to #8 (as specied by the
recipe). Let the machine run until desired consistency or temperature has
been reached. The average cook time is 6–8 minutes on HI. This will vary
depending on the texture of the ingredients and the starting temperature.
6. Do not remove lid and EZ-lock cap until the power button is in the OFF
position and the unit has been unplugged. Wait for motor to shut o and the
blades to completely stop.
7. To open lid, rst remove the EZ-lock cap to let steam escape then remove lid.
Making Frozen Blends/Treats
1. To make ice cream and sorbet, add liquids and soft ingredients (i.e. soft
fruits) rst, then frozen ingredients. In order to make successful frozen treats
with the HealthMaster you must always follow the recommended ratio of
ingredients. 1 part liquid to 3–4 parts frozen ingredients. Changing this ratio
can damage the blades
or the motor.
2 . Place the lid on and lock into place. Remove EZ-lock cap from lid and
insert tamper. NOTE: You will need to use the tamper to move ingredients
around quickly.
3. Make sure the speed control is on HI. Push the ON control button and blend
to desired consistency.
