TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Motor Doesn’t Start or Blade Assembly Doesn’t Rotate

• Check that the bottom of power pod is clean and there is no food blocking connection when placing on containers.
• There is too much food in the container.
• The unit has overheated. Unplug and wait approximately 10 minutes before using again.
• Make sure the power pod is securely placed on splashguard.
• Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet.
• Check fuse or breaker. Replace fuse/reset breaker.

Food is Unevenly Chopped

• Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are too big. Try cutting the food into smaller pieces of even size and processing smaller amounts per batch.

Food is Chopped Too Fine or is Too Watery

• The food has been over-processed. Use brief pulses or process for shorter time. Let Ninja® Chopping Blade Assembly stop completely between pulses.
