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.
• The display will light up with usable programs once connected to power. The pitcher and lid must be engaged to select a program.

The lid is stuck on the pitcher.

• Remove the lid by rotating the handle counterclockwise and then liftint up.

Cannot install the pitcher on the base.

• Make sure the Ninja® logo is facing forward before placing the pitcher directly onto the blender base. If the pitcher is still not fully seated, rotate the metal coupling under the pitcher to help align it to the base.

Cannot change time or temperature settings on Auto-IQ® programs.

• All programs were developed by culinary experts to deliver the perfect balance of heating, stirring, and blending patterns to give perfect results, so you do not have to set the time or temperature.
• To select a specific temperature, use the Manual COOK setting instead of an Auto-iQ program.

The program has been paused.

• If the lid is removed while running a program or while in Manual mode, the cooking or blending function will pause. Replace the lid and push the program button again to resume.

Why does the blender sometimes count up and other times count down?

• Auto-iQ programs are timed to finish on their own when they are complete, so the clock counts down until the program has finished. In Manual modes, the clock will count up from 0 until the auto-shutoff time is reached or the button for the currently running mode is selected again.

The pitcher still has residue after running the Clean program.

• Try running the CLEAN program a second time. You may also hand-wash the pitcher with the included cleaning brush, which is specifically designed to clean those hard-to-reach areas.

The control panel returns to standby mode.

• The control panel is designed to return to standby mode when left inactive for 3 minutes. If you have taken longer than 3 minutes to choose a function, or if the program has finished, the unit will return to standby mode.

Why does the unit beep during Auto-iQ programs?

• We’ve incorporated STIR ALERT within all Auto-iQ programs to let you know the unit is about to stir. The alert is 3 beeps followed by a 2-second pause before each stir.

The unit shuts off before the function has finished.

• If the unit turns off while it is running, and no message is shown on the display, remove the pitcher to check for water on the base. If the bottom of the pitcher or the rubber pad on the base is wet, clean the area and set the blender base aside to dry before using it again.
• The rubber pad on the blender base is removable for easy cleaning.
