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.
23Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the container when loading and operating.

25During operation and handling of the appliance, avoid contact with moving parts.
26DO NOT operate the appliance with an empty container.
27DO NOT fill containers past the max fill or max liquid lines.
28DO NOT microwave any containers or accessories provided with the appliance.
29DO NOT perform grinding operations with the Nutri Ninja® Cups and Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly.
30Before 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.
31Keep 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.
32NEVER 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.
33DO NOT expose the containers and accessories to extreme temperature changes. They may experience damage.
34NEVER leave the appliance unattended while in use.
35DO NOT open pour spout cover while blender is operating.
36DO 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.
51-877-646-5288
ENGLISH
37If 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.
38DO 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.
39Upon 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.
40Remove 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.
41If 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.
42The 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.
