HOW TO STORE

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 motor base.

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off and unplug unit before troubleshooting.

• Make sure the unit is plugged in.
• Place the Nutri Ninja® Cup onto the motor base, aligning the tabs on the cup with the motor base. Display should turn on.

Unit doesn’t turn off.

• Remove cup from base by lifting the cup out. Display should turn off. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Lid/Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly is difficult to assemble.

• Set the cup on a level surface. Place the lid or Pro Extractor Blades Assembly on the top of the cup and align the threads so the lid/blades sit flat on the cup. Twist clockwise so the lid/blades evenly align to the cup until sealed completely.

Ingredients are not evenly chopped.

• For best results when chopping, make sure all ingredients are as dry as possible. Cut pieces down to even sizes, and reduce the amount of ingredients in the cup. Use very short pulses by quickly pressing the PULSE button.

Doesn’t mix well, ingredients get stuck.

• Using the Auto-iQ® programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow ingredients to settle toward the blade. If ingredients are routinely getting stuck, adding some liquid will usually help.
• When filling the cups, start with fresh items, then powders/nuts. Add liquids, and finally frozen items or ice.

Unit moves on counter while blending.

• Make sure the counter and the feet of the unit are clean and dry. Unit is difficult to remove from counter for storage.
• Tip unit forward from the back to disengage the suction feet.

My unit is shut off:

1. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove and empty the cup and ensure no food is jamming the Pro Extractor Blades Assembly.
3. Allow the appliance to cool for approximately 30 minutes.
4. Reinstall the cup onto the base and plug the appliance into the electrical outlet.
5. Use the appliance as before, while making sure not to exceed the recommended maximum capacities.
