| Read and review instructions for operation and use.
---|---
****| Indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause personal injury, death or substantial property damage if the warning included with this symbol is ignored.
| For indoor and household use only.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, death, or damage when using this appliance, follow these basic safety precautions.
General Precautions

Read all instructions prior to using the appliance and its accessories.
Carefully observe and follow all warnings and instructions. This unit contains electrical connections and moving parts that potentially present risk to the user.
ALWAYS exercise care when handling the Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly. The blades are sharp, handle carefully.
ONLY grasp the Pro Extractor Blades Assembly by the outer perimeter of the blade assembly base. Failure to use care when handling the blade assembly will result in a risk of laceration.
Take your time and exercise care during unpacking and appliance setup. This appliance contains sharp, loose blades that can cause injury if mishandled.
DO NOT blend hot liquids or carbonated liquids. Doing so may result in pressure buildup and steam exposure that can pose a risk of the user being burned.
Take inventory of all contents to ensure you have all parts needed to properly and safely operate your appliance.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
Unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug by the body and pull from the outlet. NEVER unplug by grasping and pulling the flexible cord.
Before use, wash all parts that may contact food. Follow washing instructions covered in this instruction manual.
To protect against the risk of electric shock, DO NOT submerge the appliance or allow the power cord to contact any form of liquid.
DO NOT use this appliance outdoors. It is designed for indoor household use only.
This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cordset (if plug is molded onto cord) is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in any way.
DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. This appliance has no user-serviceable parts. If damaged, contact SharkNinja for servicing.
Extension cords should NOT be used with this appliance.
DO NOT allow children to operate this appliance or use as a toy. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
This appliance is NOT intended to be used by people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Before each use, inspect blade assembly for damage. If a blade is bent or damage is suspected, contact SharkNinja to arrange for replacement.
DO NOT attempt to sharpen blades.
DO NOT allow the unit or the cord to hang over the edges of tables or counters. The cord may become snagged and pull the appliance off the work surface.
DO NOT allow any part of the unit to contact hot surfaces, including stoves and other heating appliances.
ALWAYS use the appliance on a dry and level surface.
NEVER place a blade assembly on the motor base without it first being attached to the cup.
Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the container when loading and operating
ONLY use attachments and accessories that are provided with the product or are recommended by SharkNinja. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by SharkNinja may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
During operation and handling of the appliance, avoid contact with moving parts.
DO NOT operate the appliance with an empty container.
DO NOT fill containers past the MAX FILL or MAX LIQUID lines.
DO NOT microwave any containers or accessories provided with the appliance.
DO NOT perform grinding operations.
Before operation, ensure all utensils are removed from containers. Failure to remove utensils can cause containers to shatter and potentially result in personal injury and property damage.
NEVER operate the appliance without lids and caps in place. DO NOT attempt to defeat the interlock mechanism. Ensure the container and lid are properly installed before operation.
DO NOT expose the containers and accessories to extreme temperature changes. They may experience damage.
NEVER leave the appliance unattended while in use.
If you find unmixed ingredients sticking to the sides of the cup, stop the appliance, remove the blade assembly, and use a scraper to dislodge ingredients.
DO NOT attempt to remove the container and lids from the motor base while the blade assembly is still spinning. Allow the appliance to come to a complete stop before removing lid and container.
Remove the Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly from the Single-Serve Cup upon completion of blending. DO NOT store ingredients before or after blending them in the cup with the blade assembly attached. Some foods may contain active ingredients or release gases that will expand if left in a sealed container, resulting in excessive pressure buildup that can pose a risk of injury. For ingredient storage in the cup, use only Spout Lid to cover.
If the appliance overheats, a thermal switch will activate and temporarily disable the motor. To reset, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool for approximately 15 minutes before using again.
The maximum wattage rating for this appliance is based on the configuration of the Pro Extractor Blades Assembly and Single-Serve Cup. Other configurations may draw less power or current.
DO NOT process dry ingredients without adding liquid to the Single-Serve Cup. They are not intended for dry blending.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, DO NOT immerse the motor base in water or other liquid. Unplug the motor base before cleaning.

Motor doesn’t start or Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly doesn’t rotate.

For the cups, make sure that the tabs are seated in the slots and turned clockwise.

Food is unevenly chopped.

Food is too finely chopped or too watery.

The food has been over processed. Use short pulses for best results. Press down on the cup in short intervals.

Cup is leaking.
