USING TOTAL SPEED CONTROL & THE POWER PITCHER

NOTE: IF USING MANUAL SPEEDS WITH THE DOUGH BLADE ASSEMBLY, ONLY USE SPEEDS 1 OR 2.

START SLOW: Always start at a low speed (1-3) to better incorporate ingredients and prevent them from sticking to the sides of the vessel.
DIAL UP THE SPEED: Smoother blends call for higher speeds. Low speeds are great for chopping veggies and mixing dough, but you'll need to ramp up for purees and dressings.
HIGH-SPEED BLENDING: Blend until your desired consistency is reached. The longer you blend, the better the breakdown and smoother the outcome will be.

Assembling the Power Pitcher

Holding the blade assembly by the top of the shaft, insert it into the pitcher.
Fill pitcher with desired ingredients. Install the lid, then lower lid handle to lock in place.
Place pitcher on base. Slightly align handle to the right so the LOCK symbols [lock-symbol] are visible on the motor base. Rotate clockwise until pitcher clicks into place.

Use the dial to select an Auto-iQ® program or manual speed, then press START/STOP [start-stop-button] to begin blending.
When blending is complete, turn pitcher counterclockwise and lift to remove.
To pour out thinner mixtures, ensure lid is locked in place, then open pour spout.

For thicker mixtures: Press RELEASE button and lift handle to remove lid, then carefully lift out blade assembly before removing contents. Remove contents from blade assembly by using a spatula.

WARNING: Blade assembly is sharp and not locked in place. Make sure lid is locked onto pitcher before pouring contents. If pouring without lid, carefully remove blade assembly first. Failure to do so will result in a risk of laceration. Refer to the Ninja Owner's Guide for additional information.
