Ninja TWISTi High-Speed Blender DUO
Quick Start Guide
Using the Control Panel
The control panel features several buttons for different blending functions:
- AUTO-IQ® PROGRAMS: Intelligent preset programs combine unique blending and pausing patterns. They start immediately and stop automatically when blending is complete. To stop early, press the active button again.
- EXTRACT: Ideal for tough, leafy, or fibrous whole fruits and vegetables, including their skins, seeds, and stems.
- SMOOTHIE: Combine favorite fresh or frozen ingredients, liquids, and powders to create smoothies and protein shakes.
- FROZEN: Crush ice and frozen fruit into restaurant-style frozen drinks.
- SPREAD: Create anything from spreadable nut butters to zesty dressings to perfect hummus.
- BOWL: Prepare thick, spoonable smoothie bowls, creamy frozen yogurt, and refreshing sorbets.
- MANUAL MODE:
- PULSE: Offers greater control of pulsing and blending. Operates only when PULSE is pressed. Use short presses for short pulses and long presses for long pulses.
- START/STOP: Press for continuous blending up to 60 seconds; press again to stop.
Note: For best results when making thicker recipes, use the BOWL or SPREAD program and twist the built-in tamper continuously in the pitcher while processing.
Cleaning
Dishwasher: Containers, lids, and blade assembly are all dishwasher safe.
Hand-Washing: Wash containers, lids, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Use a dishwashing utensil with a handle for the blade assembly.
Tip: For stuck-on ingredients, add a small amount of dish soap and warm water to the pitcher, install the lid, and blend using the BOWL program. Twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously while cleaning.
Warning: Handle the blade assemblies with care as the blades are sharp.

Blend & Enjoy:
- Select desired program. For thick outputs, twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously while processing.
- If results are too thick, open the drizzle hole cap and add more liquid. Close the cap and continue twisting the tamper counterclockwise during blending.
- When blending is complete, remove the pitcher from the base. Then remove the lid and blade assembly.
Note: The tamper is NOT removable from the pitcher lid. Do not microwave or freeze any container.
Using the Drizzle Hole and Built-In Tamper: Twist the non-removable built-in tamper counterclockwise to push ingredients toward the blades, reducing the amount of liquid needed for blending.
Smoothie Bowl Basics Using the Pitcher
Smoothie bowls are thicker and spoonable, compared to smoothies, which are thinner and drinkable.
For 1 serving: Use the 8-ounce fill line for liquid and the 16-ounce fill line for ingredients.
For 2 servings: Use the 10-ounce fill line for liquid and the 34-ounce fill line for ingredients.
- Always do this first: Install the blade assembly. Add milk or milk alternative up to the LIQUID FILL line.
- Add frozen fruit, directly from the freezer, and/or açai or dragon fruit packets up to the MAX FILL line. Cut larger fruit into quarters. If using packets, thaw slightly and cut into quarters.
- Install the lid onto the pitcher, then install the pitcher onto the motor base. Select BOWL. Twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously while processing.
After blending is complete, pour into a bowl and add your favorite toppings.
