HOW TO STORE

Store the blender upright with the Nutri Ninja® Blade Assembly secured to the Nutri Ninja Cup. 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. Loosely wrap the power cord around the Power Pod.

NOTE : Do not store blended or unblended ingredients in the Nutri Ninja Cup with the blade assembly attached.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The motor doesn’t start or blade assembly doesn’t rotate.

• Check that the bottom of Power Pod is clean and there is no food blocking the connection of the pod and cup.
• There is too much food in the cup.
• The unit has overheated. Unplug and wait approximately 10 minutes before using again.
• Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet.
• Check fuse or breaker. Reset breaker or replace fuse if necessary.

Ingredients are unevenly chopped.
Either you are chopping too many ingredients at once, or the pieces are too big. Try cutting the ingredients in smaller pieces of even size and processing smaller amounts per batch.

Ingredients are chopped too finely or are too watery.
The ingredients have been over processed. Use brief pulses or process for a shorter time. Let the blade assembly stop completely between pulses.

Ingredients collect on the sides of the Nutri Ninja® Cup.
Too many ingredients are being processed at once. Turn the Power Pod off. When the blades stop rotating, remove the cup from the Power Pod. Remove some of the ingredients being processed.

The unit will not create snow from solid ice.
Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Be sure to use short pulses in the beginning to break up large pieces.
