HINTS & TIPS FOR USING YOUR NINJA®
• The chopping blades can be used for chopping meat, fish,
vegetables, cheese etc.
• For mincing, chopping and pureeing, increase the length of
pulses.
• For coarse chopping, use short, quick pulses and monitor
food texture.
• Pre-cut larger pieces to make them fit into the pitcher.
When chopping hard foods (e.g. meat, cheese) cut into
1-inch cubes.
• To crush ice into snow, start by using short pulses to break
up large chunks. Continue until snow is achieved.
Using the Pitcher - cont’d 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 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®and all parts before first use and immediately after each use.
