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.
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 container.
The unit has overheated. Unplug and wait approximately 10
minutes before using again.
Make sure the splash guard is securely on container.
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 Ninja®Storm™ 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.
You cannot achieve snow from
solid ice.
Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt.
Be sure to use short pulses in the beginning to break up large
pieces.
Troubleshooting Guide
The pitcher, storage lid, splash guard and
chopping blades are all dishwasher safe. It is
recommended to place the storage lid and the
chopping blades on the top rack. Use extreme
caution when handling the chopping blades as
they are very sharp.
Clean the Ninja®Storm™and all parts before
first use and immediately after each use.
