The main pitcher is a 72 oz. (9 cup) pitcher with a stacked blade assembly and a locking lid. The Nutri Ninja cups come in 18 oz., 24 oz., and 32 oz. sizes, each with a Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly and Sip & Seal™ Lids. Silicone grip sleeves are also included. The power cord is not shown but connects to the motor base.
WARNING: Handle the Stacked Blade Assembly with care, as the blades are sharp.
WARNING: Remove utensils prior to processing. Failure to remove may cause the pitcher to be damaged or to shatter, which may cause personal injury.
WARNING: Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
CAUTION: Do not blend hot liquids, doing so may cause excessive pressure buildup, resulting in risk of the user being burned.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the motor base is plugged in for use.
The assembly process involves placing the motor base on a clean, dry, level surface, ensuring suction cups adhere. The pitcher is then aligned onto the motor base, handle slightly to the right of the "LOCK" symbol, and rotated clockwise until it clicks into place. The pitcher can be positioned with the handle on the front right or front left corner. The stacked blade assembly is placed onto the drive gear inside the pitcher, ensuring it stands upright. Ingredients are added, with liquids first. The lid is then placed on top, aligning the triangle (✔) on the lid with the triangle (▲) on the pitcher's handle, and pressed down until it clicks. The power light will be solid when correctly assembled.
The control panel lights will illuminate based on the jar placed on the motor base. To use, press the power button, then select a speed or Auto-iQ program. Auto-iQ programs stop automatically. Pulse ingredients by holding the Auto-iQ Pulse button. To pause, press the selected speed/program button again. To stop, press the power button and wait for blades to stop. To remove, turn the pitcher counter-clockwise and lift off the base.
WARNING: Never insert your hands in the pitcher as the Stacked Blade Assembly is sharp. Always use a spatula to dislodge food that has stuck to the sides of the pitcher.
For removal, open the pour spout cap to empty liquids. For thicker consistencies, remove the lid by pressing the release button and pulling the handle up to a 90-degree angle. Then, carefully remove the Stacked Blade Assembly by the top of the shaft, placing it away from the work area. Finally, empty contents from the pitcher. Ensure the unit is unplugged when not in use. To release the motor base from the counter, place hands underneath both sides and gently pull up.
WARNING: Handle the Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly with care, as the blades are sharp.
WARNING: Remove utensils prior to processing. Failure to remove may cause the Nutri Ninja cup to be damaged or to shatter, which may cause personal injury.
WARNING: Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
CAUTION: Do not blend hot liquids, doing so may cause excessive pressure buildup, resulting in risk of the user being burned.
CAUTION: Remove the Pro Extractor Blades Assembly from the cup upon completion of blending. Some ingredients have the potential to expand after blending resulting in excessive pressure buildup that can pose a risk of injury.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the motor base is plugged in for use.
The Nutri Ninja® | Ninja® Blender with Auto-iQ™ Technology senses which jar is on the motor base, illuminating available functions.
