IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

Read all instructions before using your NINJA' PERSONAL BLENDER

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

⚠ WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, death, or damage when using this appliance, follow these basic safety precautions.

General Precautions

32 NEVER operate the appliance without lids and caps in place. DO NOT attempt to defeat the interlock mechanism. Ensure the container and lid are properly installed before operation.
33 DO NOT expose the containers and accessories to extreme temperature changes. They may experience damage.
34 NEVER leave the appliance unattended while in use.
35 DO NOT blend hot liquids. Doing so may result in pressure buildup and steam exposure that can pose a risk of the user being burned.
36 DO NOT remove the cup from the motor base while the appliance is running.

37 Remove the Pro Extractor Blades Assembly from the Single-Serve Cup upon completion of blending. DO NOT store ingredients before or after blending them in the cup with the blade assembly attached. Some foods may contain active ingredients or release gases that will expand if left in a sealed container, resulting in excessive pressure buildup that can pose a risk of injury. For ingredient storage in the cup, use only Spout Lid to cover.
38 The maximum wattage rating for this appliance is based on the configuration of the Pro Extractor Blades Assembly and Single-Serve Cup. Other configurations may draw less power or current.
39 Max ON time is 1 minute under 900W load. If the appliance overheats, a thermal switch will become activated and shut off the motor. To reset, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for approximately 30 minutes before using again.
40 DO NOT process dry ingredients without adding liquid to the Single-Serve Cup. The Single-Serve Cup is not intended for dry blending.

41 To protect against risk of electrical shock, DO NOT immerse the motor base in water or other liquid.
42 DO NOT spray the motor base with any liquids. Turn off and unplug the motor base before cleaning.

Dishwasher

Cups, lids, and blade assembly are dishwasher safe. Place the cups, lids, and blade assembly on the top rack of the dishwasher ONLY. Ensure the blade assembly and lid are removed from the cup before placing in the dishwasher.

Motor Base

1 Unplug the unit from the socket.
2 Allow the unit to cool for approximately 30 minutes.
3 Remove the container's lid and blade assembly. Empty the container and ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assemblies.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that maximum capacities are not exceeded. This is the most typical cause of appliance overload.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDECARE & MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off and unplug unit before troubleshooting.

Unit doesn't turn on

Make sure unit is plugged in.
- Place cup on base and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.

Unit doesn't turn off

- Remove cup from base by rotating it anti-clockwise and lifting it. Unplug the power cord from the socket.

Lid/blade assembly hard to assemble

- Place the cup on a level surface with the lid or blade assembly on the top of the cup and align the threads so that the lid/blades sit flat on the cup. Twist clockwise so that the lid/blades evenly align to the cup until you have a tight seal.

Doesn't mix well; ingredients get stuck

• Using the pre-set programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow the ingredients to settle toward the blade assembly. If ingredients are routinely getting stuck, adding some liquid will usually help.
• When filling the cup, start with fresh fruit or veggies, then leafy greens or herbs. Next add liquids or yogurt, then seeds, powders, or nut butters. Finally, add ice or frozen ingredients

Motor base won't stick to worktop or tabletop

• Make sure surface and suction feet are wiped clean. Suction feet will only stick to smooth surfaces.
• Suction feet will not stick on some surfaces such as wood, tile, and non-polished finishes.
• DO NOT attempt to use unit when the motor base is stuck to a surface that is not secure (cutting board, platter, plates, etc.).

- Unit is difficult to remove from worktop for storage

- Place your hands underneath both sides of the motor base and gently pull the unit up and toward you.
