NOTE: This unit has a short power supply
cord to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over
a long cord. An extension cord may be
used if you are careful in its use:
1. The electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. An extension cord with the power cord
must be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where
they can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.

HINTS & TIPS FOR USING YOUR NINJA™
MASTER PREP™ PROFESSIONAL
l The chopping blades can be used for
chopping meat, fish, vegetables, cheese
etc.
l For mincing, chopping and pureeing,
increase the length of pulses.
l For coarse chopping, use short, quick
pulses and monitor food texture.
l Pre-cut larger pieces to make them fit
into the Master Prep™ Professional.
When chopping hard foods (e.g. meat,
cheese) cut into 1-inch cubes.
l To crush ice into snow, start by using
short pulses to break up large chunks.
Continue until snow is achieved.
