Operating Instructions

Using Pulse Technology:

The Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender operates using Pulse Technology, which means it blends as long as you apply downward pressure to the cup. This allows for precise control over your blending consistency.

  1. With the assembled cup securely twisted onto the motor base, firmly press down on the top of the cup.
  2. Hold down for short bursts (pulsing) for chopping or to break down larger ingredients.
  3. For continuous blending, maintain steady downward pressure until desired consistency is achieved.
  4. Release pressure to stop blending.
  5. Once blending is complete, twist the cup counter-clockwise to unlock it from the motor base.
  6. Carefully remove the blade assembly from the cup and replace it with a spout lid for on-the-go convenience.

Tips for Best Results:

  • For optimal nutrient extraction, ensure ingredients are cut into smaller pieces before blending.
  • When blending frozen ingredients or ice, use short, powerful pulses to break them down initially, then blend continuously.
  • If ingredients are stuck, remove the cup from the base, shake it, and reattach to continue blending.
  • Always ensure the blade assembly is securely tightened onto the cup before placing it on the motor base.
