HOW TO STORE

1 Store the Nutri Ninja® with AUTO-iQ™

upright. Secure the power cord underneath the base by wrapping the cord around the cord wrap. Do not place anything on top. Store the cups and the rest of the attachments along side the appliance where they will not be damaged and won’t cause a hazard.

RESETTING THE MOTOR THERMOSTAT

The Nutri Ninja

with AUTO-iQ™ features

a unique safety system which prevents damage to the unit’s motor and drive system should you inadvertently overload your appliance. If the appliance is being overloaded, the motor will stop. To reset the appliance, follow the resetting procedure below:

1 Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.

2 Remove and empty the cup and ensure that no food

is jamming the cutting blades.

3 Allow the appliance to cool for approximately 30

minutes.

4 Re-install the cup onto the base and re-plug the

appliance into the electrical outlet.

5 Proceed to use the appliance as before while

making sure not to exceed the recommended maximum capacities.

HOW TO CLEAN

CAUTION: Make sure that the motor base is

unplugged from the power source before inserting or removing any attachment and before cleaning.

CAUTION: DO NOT immerse the motor base into

water or any other liquid.

1 Separate/remove all parts from each other.

2 Clean the motor base with a damp cloth and wipe

dry.

3 Place cups in the dishwasher. Place the lids and

attachments on the top rack. Use caution when

handling the blade assemblies as the blades are very sharp.

NOTE: You may also wash the cups by ﬁlling the

cup to the Max ﬁll line with warm water and a drop of dish washing detergent, placing the blade assembly on the cup and pulsing a few times. Do not ﬁll the cup more than Max ﬁll line with water because it will overﬂow. Once clean, remove the cup from the motor base. Rinse the cup, attachment and lid under running water. Allow all the parts to dry before storing.

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

Unit doesn't turn on

• Make sure the unit is plugged in

• Insert and rotate cup clockwise in the base until it "clicks". Display should turn on.

Unit doesn't turn off

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

Lid/blade assembly hard to assemble

• Set the cup on a level surface. Place the lid or blade assembly on the top of the cup and align the threads so that the lid/blades sit ﬂat on the cup. Twist clockwise so that the lid/blades evenly align to the cup until you have a tight seal.

Food is 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 food in the cup. Use very short pulses by quickly pressing the "PULSE" button.

Doesn't mix well, food gets stuck.

• Using the AUTO-iQ™ programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow the food to settle towards the blade. If food is routinely getting stuck adding some liquid will usually help.

• When packing 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 surface as well as 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 easily disengage the suction feet.
