Assembly and Use for the 2.1 L Pitcher
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the motor
base is plugged in for use.
1Place the motor base on a clean, dry, level
surface such as a counter or table top.
2Align and lower the pitcher onto the motor
base. (Fig. 1) Handle should be aligned
slightly to the right of the “LOCK” symbol on
the motor base.
3Rotate the pitcher clockwise as far as it will
go to lock in place. (Fig. 2)
NOTE: The pitcher can be placed on the motor
base two ways; the handle can be on the front
right corner or the front left corner. (Fig. 3a,
Fig. 3b)
4Holding the top blades by the top of the shaft,
place it onto the bottom blades inside the
pitcher. Ensure that the top blades are seated
properly by standing upright in the pitcher. Do
not operate the unit if the top blades are not
upright at any time. (Fig. 4)
NOTE: The top blades will fit loosely on the
bottom blades but will be secured once the lid
is in place.
TIP: When pureeing, use only the bottom
blades for best results.
NOTE: The bottom blades are not removable.
5When using the top blades, ensure blades are
properly in place prior to adding ingredients.
Add the ingredients to the pitcher, making
sure that they do not exceed the 2.1 L mark on
the pitcher.
NOTE: When blending any kind of liquids,
such as mixtures of any drinks or smoothies,
do not exceed the “MAX LIQUID” mark (1.8 L)
on the pitcher.
NOTE: If you need to add additional
ingredients while the appliance is processing,
do not remove the lid. Open the pour spout
cap and add any additional ingredients, close
cap when complete.
6Holding the lid by the handle in the upright
position, place it on top of the pitcher aligning
the arrow ( ) located on the lid with the
arrow ( ) located on the pitcher’s handle.
(Fig. 5) Press the handle down until you hear
a click.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1Remove all packaging material and labels
from the appliance.
2Wash the lids, pitcher, single serve cups and
top blades in warm, soapy water with a soft
cloth. Use caution when washing the
removable top blades as the blades are
very sharp. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
OR
3All accessories are dishwasher safe except
the motor base. When using the dishwasher,
place the pitcher and single serve cups in the
dishwasher. Place the lids and attachments
on the top rack. Use caution when washing
the removable top blades as the blades
are very sharp. Always hold the top blades
from the shaft.
4Wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth.
Do not submerge the motor base in water or
any other liquid.

10 11
0800 862 0453 www.ninjakitchen.eu
CAUTION: Never insert your hands in the
pitcher as the blades are sharp. Always use a
spatula to dislodge food that has stuck to the
sides of the pitcher. Unplug the unit before
attempting to dislodge anything.
12 Make sure that the unit is unplugged when
not in use.
TIPS:
• Use low speed settings (1-3) when blending
drinks and other blended items.
• Use medium speed settings (4-6) when
frozen blending, ice crushing or grinding dry
ingredients.
• Use high speed settings (7-10) when
creating purees such as sauces, dips and
restaurant quality glazes. Top blades are
needed to power through tough ingredients
like ice, solid fruits and vegetables. If silky
smooth results are desired, push down on
the power toggle to turn off the power,
carefully remove the top blades, replace the
lid and continue processing.
• For softer ingredients, the bottom fixed
blades are enough to fully process in one
step.
7Plug the motor base in for use.
8Turn the Variable Speed Dial to speed 1.
(Fig. 6) The power indicator light () will now
turn on.
To start the blender, press the “Start/Stop/
Pulse” toggle up to start processing. Slowly
increase to desired speed.
NOTE: As a safety feature, the power
indicator light ( ) will flash and the
motor will not work if the pitcher and lid
are not installed correctly.
NOTE: If you need to Pulse ingredients press
down on the toggle in short intervals.
9When you have reached your desired
consistency, reduce speed slowly and stop the
unit by pressing up on the Start/Stop/Pulse
toggle. (Fig. 7)
10 Use the convenient pour spout when serving
smoothies, juices and other beverages you
have created! Push the pour spout back as
far as it will go before pouring. For thicker
consistencies, remove the lid and the top
blades carefully (by the shaft), then empty the
contents from the pitcher.
11 To remove the lid, press the release button on
the lid, pull the lid handle up to a 90° angle
and lift the lid off. Holding the pitcher with
one hand while removing the lid with the
other will provide the best leverage. Turn the
pitcher counter clockwise and then lift off the
base. Do not pour out ingredients without
first carefully removing the top blades.
