IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, ﬁre, electrical shock or property damage, basic

safety precautions must always be followed, including the following numbered warnings and subsequent instructions.

23 Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the

24 ONLY use attachments and accessories

that are provided with the product or are recommended by SharkNinja.

25 During operation and handling of the

26 DO NOT operate the appliance with an

empty container.

27 DO NOT ﬁll containers past the max ﬁll or

max liquid lines.

28 DO NOT microwave any containers or

accessories provided with the appliance.

29 DO NOT perform grinding operations with

30 Before operation, ensure that 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 and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used ONLY when the blender is not running.

32 NEVER operate the appliance without lids

and caps in place. DO NOT attempt to defeat the interlock mechanism. Ensure that the container and lid are properly installed before operation.

33 DO NOT expose the containers and

accessories to extreme temperature changes. They may experience damage.

34 NEVER leave the appliance unattended

while in use.

35 DO NOT open pour spout cover while

blender is operating.

DO NOT blend hot liquids. Doing so may result in a pressure buildup and steam exposure that can pose a risk of the user being burned.

1- 87 7-6 46 -52 88

If you ﬁnd unmixed ingredients sticking to the sides of the pitcher, stop the appliance, remove the lid, and use a spatula to dislodge ingredients. NEVER insert your hands into the pitcher, as you may contact one of the blades and experience a laceration.

38 DO NOT attempt to remove the container

and lids from the motor base while the motor and blade assembly is still spinning. Allow the appliance to come to a complete stop before removing lids and containers.

Upon completion of processing, ensure that the stacked blade assembly is removed BEFORE emptying pitcher contents. The stacked blade assembly is to be removed by grasping the top of the shaft and lifting from the pitcher. Failure to remove the stacked blade assembly before emptying the pitcher results in a risk of laceration.

ENGLISH

40 Remove the Pro Extractor Blades®

Assembly from the Nutri Ninja® 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 Spout Lid to cover.

41 If the appliance overheats, a thermal switch

will activate and temporarily disable the motor. To reset, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool for approximately 15 minutes before using again.

42 The maximum wattage rating for this

appliance is based on the conﬁguration of the stacked blade assembly and MAX 88 oz. Total Crushing® Pitcher. Other conﬁgurations may draw less power or current.
