⚠ CAUTION: Do not immerse the motor base into water or any other liquid.

1. Separate/remove all parts from each other.
2. Hand Washing: Wash containers, lids, blade assemblies and attachments in warm, soapy water.

Storing

1. Store the Nutri Ninja with Auto-iQ™ Pro Complete upright with the blade assembly inside the corresponding container with the lid secured on top. Do not place anything on top. Store the rest of the attachments in a safe place where they will not be damaged and won't cause harm. Secure the power cord on the back of the base by wrapping the cord around the cord wrap. NOTE: Do not store blended or unblended ingredients in the Nutri Ninja cup or Nutri Ninja XL Multi-Serve Jar with the blade assembly attached.

Resetting the Motor Thermostat

1. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove and empty the cup and ensure that no food is jamming the cutting blades.
3. Allow the appliance to cool for approximately 30 minutes.
4. Re-install the cup onto the motor base and re-plug the appliance into the electrical outlet.
5. Proceed with using the appliance as before while making sure not to exceed the maximum recommended capacities.

Troubleshooting Guide

Unit doesn't turn on:

• Make sure the unit is plugged in and the START/STOP button is pressed.
• Insert and rotate cup clockwise in the base until it clicks into place. When the unit is plugged in and no jar installed, "--" is displayed on the timer.

Unit doesn't turn off:

• Remove cup from base by rotating cup anticlockwise and lifting out. Display should turn off. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Lid/blade assembly hard to assemble:

• Set the cup on a level surface. Place the lid or blade assembly on the top of the cup and align the threads so that the lid/blades sit flat on the cup. Twist clockwise so that the lid/blades evenly align to the cup until you have a tight seal.

Doesn't mix well, food gets stuck:

• Using the Auto-iQ programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow the food to settle towards the blade. If food is routinely getting stuck adding some liquid will usually help.
• When packing the cups, start with fresh items, then add liquids, powders/dry ingredients, and finally frozen items or ice.

Unit moves on the counter while blending:

• Make sure the surface as well as the feet of the unit are clean and dry.

Unit is difficult to remove from the counter for storage:

• To remove the motor base unit, tip the unit forward from the rear to easily disengage the suction cups.
