TURBO: Use for tougher ingredients, such as butternut squash, or for smooth purees, such as hummus.

Blending

Choose your container:
The container should be large enough for the blender head to be fully submerged in the ingredients. Once submerged, there should be ample room in the container to avoid overflowing and splashing. A cooking pot, large measuring container, or the blending vessel (not included with all models) is recommended.

NOTE: When blending in a cooking pot on a stovetop, remove the pot from the heating element or ensure the heating element is turned OFF prior to blending.

Blending:
Submerge vents of blender head in the ingredients.
Use an up-and-down motion to blend , making sure to stop blending any time the vents are no longer submerged.

NOTE: For best results, hold the unit with the control panel facing away from you.

CHOPPER (Not available with all models)

WARNING: Chopping blade assembly is sharp and not lockedin place. Before emptying the bowl, carefully remove chopping blade assembly. Failure to do so will result in a risk of laceration. Refer to the Ninja Safety Instructions for additional information.

Assembly

Set up the blade & lid assembly:
Holding the blade assembly by the top of the shaft, install it in the chopper bowl. Place ingredients in the bowl. Install the processing lid by aligning the lid with the notches in the bowl. Ensure the lid is fully installed; there will be no click.

Install the power base:
Attach the power base by aligning the arrow on the power base with the arrow on the processing lid, then push the power base onto the lid to lock it in place.

Using the controls

POWER: Press and hold continuously to process. Use short presses for short pulses and long presses for long pulses.
The TURBO button is disabled when using the chopper attachment. Chopper will run on high speed by default.

Disassembly

Remove the power base:
Press and hold the release buttons on each side of the power base to detach.

Remove the processing lid:
Lift up the processing lid. Always remove the blade assembly before emptying the bowl.

Chopper Basics

For best results, we recommend:

Prepping ingredients into even size pieces and ensuring they sit below the top blade.
Being careful to avoid overfilling and over-processing (so you don’t get uneven or watery results).
Holding the chopper bowl with one hand while processing to help ensure it stays in place.

Storage

Use the included storage lid to store ingredients in the bowl.
