IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES,
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
YOUR NINJA®PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN
SYSTEM.
POLARIZED PLUG
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. DO
NOT modify the plug in any way.
WARNING: Extension cords are
not recommended for use with this
product.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp,
handle with care. When handling the
blades, always hold by the shaft.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY:
1 WARNING: Remove utensils prior to
processing. Failure to remove may cause the
jar to be damaged or to shatter which may
cause personal injury.
2 WARNING: The blade assemblies are
sharp, not locked in place and removable,
handle with care. When handling the blade
assemblies, always hold by the shaft.
Failure to do so will result in a risk of
laceration.
3 WARNING: Stacked Blade Assembly is
sharp and not locked in place. If using the
pour spout, ensure the lid is fully locked
onto the pitcher. If pouring with the lid
removed, carefully remove the Stacked
Blade Assembly first, holding it by the shaft.
Failure to do so will result in a risk of
laceration.
4WARNING: Chopping Blade Assembly is
sharp and not locked in place. Before
emptying contents carefully remove lid and
Chopping Blade Assembly, holding it by the
shaft. Failure to do so will result in a risk of
laceration.
5 CAUTION: Do not blend hot liquids, doing
so may cause excessive pressure build-up,
resulting in risk of the user being burned.
6CAUTION: We do not recommend
grinding in any of our Nutri Ninja
®
Cups.
7 CAUTION: Remove the Pro Extractor
Blades Assembly from the Nutri Ninja 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.

Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are not of
an even size. Try processing smaller amounts per batch.
Food is chopped too fine or is
too watery.
The food has been over processed. Use pulse button for controlled
processing.
Food collects on lid or on the
sides of the container.
The mixture is to thick. Add more liquid.
You cannot achieve snow
from solid ice.
Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Use ice
straight from the freezer.
Motor base won’t stick to
counter or table top.
Make sure surface and suction feet are wiped clean. Suction feet will only
stick to smooth surfaces. Suction feet WILL NOT stick on some surfaces
such as, wood, tile and non-polished finishes.
DO NOT attempt to use appliance when the motor base is stuck to a
surface that is not secure, (cutting board, platter, plates, etc.).
Leaking is occurring when
using the Nutri Ninja®cup.
Ensure the blade is properly twisted into the cup and sealed tightly into
place. Check to see that the lid gasket is properly in place.
Do not overfill the cup. Never add ingredients past the “Max” fill line.
