NINJA Foodi Power Blender and Processor System
What’s in the Box
- Extract a drink containing vitamins and nutrients from fruits and vegetables.
AUTO-iQ® MODE
Intelligent preset programs combine unique blending and pausing patterns that do the work for you. Once a preset program is selected, it will start immediately and automatically stop when blending is complete.
TIP:
The unit can detect which container is installed on the motor base. Only the
functions available for a particular container will illuminate on the control
panel.
MANUAL MODE
Go manual for total control of your blending speed and textures. Dial down the speed for heavy loads like dough, or crank up the speed for smoothies. Continuously runs up to 60 seconds. Press START/STOP at any time to end program sooner.
NOTE: In Manual mode, Auto-iQ® programs will not illuminate on the control panel.
USING VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL & THE POWER BLENDER & PROCESSOR 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.
