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 a risk to the user.
ALWAYS exercise care when handling the Pro Extractor Blades™ Assembly. The blades are sharp. 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.
Take inventory of all contents to ensure you have all parts needed to properly and safely operate your appliance.
Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug the appliance from the socket when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug by the body and pull from the socket. NEVER unplug by grasping and pulling the flexible cord.
Before use, wash all parts that may contact food. Follow the washing instructions covered in this instruction manual.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
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.
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.
DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never carry the appliance by the power cord or yank it to disconnect from the electrical socket; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Extension cords should NOT be used with this appliance.
DO NOT allow children to operate this appliance, play with it, or use it as a toy. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
This appliance is NOT intended to be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Before each use, inspect blade assemblies for damage. If a blade is bent or damage is suspected, contact SharkNinja to arrange for a replacement.
DO NOT attempt to sharpen blades.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
DO NOT allow the unit or the cord to hang over the edges of tables or worktops. 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 its corresponding container (bowl, pitcher, cup) and lid.
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.
The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons. DO NOT use stainless steel cup accessory model XSKDWSS24 with a blender.
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 with the Single-Serve Cup and Pro Extractor Blades™ Assembly.
Before the 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.
Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as utensils out of the container while processing to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the appliance. A scraper may be used but only when the appliance is not running.
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.
DO NOT blend hot liquids. Doing so may result in pressure buildup and steam exposure that can pose a risk of the user being burned.
DO NOT remove the cup from the motor base while the appliance is running.
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 the Spout Lid to cover.
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.
Max ON time is 1 minute under 900W load. If the appliance overheats, a thermal switch will become activated and shut off the motor. To reset, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for approximately 30 minutes before using it again.
DO NOT process dry ingredients without adding liquid to the SingleServe Cup. The Single-Serve Cup is not intended for dry blending.
To protect against the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT immerse the motor base in water or other liquid.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Dishwasher
Cups, lids, and blade assembly are dishwasher safe. Place the cups, lids, and blade assembly on the top rack of the dishwasher ONLY. Ensure the

Motor Base
Turn off the unit and unplug the motor base before cleaning. Wipe the motor base with a clean, damp cloth.
NEVER directly spray the base with water or other liquids.
DO NOT use abrasive cloths/pads/ brushes to clean the base, as this can dull or scratch the surface.
RESETTING THE MOTOR THERMOSTAT
This unit features a unique safety system that prevents damage to the motor and drive system should you inadvertently overload it. If the unit is overloaded, the motor will be temporarily disabled. Should this occur, follow the reset procedure below.

Unplug the unit from the socket

Remove the container’s lid and blade assembly. Empty the container and ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assemblies. IMPORTANT: Ensure that maximum capacities are not exceeded. This is the most typical cause of appliance overload.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn the power off and unplug the unit before troubleshooting.
The unit doesn’t turn on

Make sure the unit is plugged in.
Place cup on base and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.

The unit doesn’t turn off

Remove the cup from the base by rotating it anti-clockwise and lifting it. Unplug the power cord from the socket.

Lid/blade assembly hard to assemble

Place the cup on a level surface with 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; ingredients get stuck

Using pre-set programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow the ingredients to settle toward the blade assembly. If ingredients are routinely getting stuck, adding some liquid will usually help.
When filling the cup, start with fresh fruit or veggies, then leafy greens or herbs. Next, add liquids or yogurt, then seeds, powders, or nut butter. Finally, add ice or frozen ingredients.

Motor base won’t stick to worktop or tabletop

Make sure the surface and suction feet are wiped clean. Suction feet will only stick to smooth surfaces.
Suction feet will not stick on some surfaces such as wood, tile, and non-polished finishes.
DO NOT attempt to use the unit when the motor base is stuck to a surface that is not secure (cutting board, platter, plates, etc.).

Unit is difficult to remove from worktop for storage

Place your hands underneath both sides of the motor base and gently pull the unit up and toward you.
