followed, including the following:

4ninjakitchen.com
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
11 This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit

suitable for replacement. If damaged,

13 Extension cords should NOT be used with
this appliance.
14 DO NOT allow young children to operate

physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
16 Before each use, inspect blade assemblies
for damage. If a blade is bent or damage is
suspected, contact SharkNinja to arrange
for replacement.

36 If you find unmixed ingredients sticking to
the sides of the pitcher, stop the appliance,
remove the lid, and use a spatula to dislodge
ingredients. NEVER insert your hands into
the pitcher, as you may contact one of the
blades and experience a laceration.
37 DO NOT attempt to remove the container
and lids from the motor base while the
blade assembly is still spinning. Allow the
appliance to come to a complete stop
before removing lids and containers.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
WARNING
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

6ninjakitchen.com
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
38 Upon completion of processing, ensure
that the blade assembly is removed
BEFORE emptying container’s contents.
Remove the blade assembly by carefully
grasping the top of the shaft and lifting
it from the container. Failure to remove
the blade assembly before emptying the
container results in a risk of laceration.
39 Remove the Pro Extractor Blades®
Assembly from the High-Speed Blender
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.
40 If the appliance overheats, a thermal switch
will activate and temporarily disable the
motor. To reset, unplug the appliance
and allow it to cool for approximately 15
minutes before using again.
41 The maximum wattage rating for this
appliance is based on the configuration
of the Pro Extractor Blades Assembly
and High-Speed Blender cup. Other
configurations may draw less power or
current.
42 DO NOT process dry ingredients without
adding liquid to the High-Speed Blender
cup. The High-Speed Blender cup is not
intended for dry blending.
43 The Blade Discs are sharp. Always use the
handles on the side of each Blade Disc
when placing it into the Bowl or removing
it. Follow all cleaning instructions. Failure to
do so will result in a risk of laceration.
44 When using the Spiralizer, ALWAYS use
the Food Pusher. NEVER feed ingredients
into the Spiralizer by hand or with other
utensils. Failure to use the Food Pusher
may cause personal injury.
45 If Blade Discs appear to be damaged or
broken, do not use or attempt to repair.
Call customer service for assistance.
46 DO NOT attempt to sharpen Blade Discs.
47 DO NOT remove Feed Chute Lid until
Blade Disc stops spinning.
