Cleaning and Maintenance
CAUTION: Make sure that the power head is unplugged from power source before inserting or removing any attachment and
before cleaning.
DO NOT immerse the power head into water or any other liquid. Clean with a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry.
The Master Prep™Advantage pitcher, storage lid, splash guard and blades are all dishwasher safe. It is recommended to
place the storage lid and the blades on the top rack. Use extreme caution when handling the blades as they are very sharp.
Clean the Ninja® Master Prep™Advantage and all parts before first use and immediately after each use.
PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Motor Doesn’t Start or Blades
Don’t Rotate.
Check that the bottom of motor head is clean and there is no food blocking
connection when placing on containers.
There is too much food in the pitcher.
The unit has overheated. Unplug and wait approximately 10 minutes before using again.
Make sure the splash guard is securely on pitcher.
Make sure the power head is securely placed on splash guard.
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet.
Check fuse or breaker. Replace fuse/reset breaker.
Food is Unevenly Chopped.
Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are not small
enough. Try cutting the food into smaller pieces of even size and processing smaller
amounts per batch.
Food is Chopped Too Fine or is
Too Watery.
The food has been over processed. Use brief pulses or process for shorter time. Let
blades stop completely between pulses.
Food Collects On Splash
Guard/Safety Cover or On the
Sides of the pitcher.
You may be processing too much food. Turn the machine Off. When the blades stop
rotating, remove the power head and the splash guard. Remove some of the food
being processed.
