supervision is necessary to keep appliance and cord out of reach
of children during use.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
1 WARNING: Remove utensils prior to processing. Failure to
remove may cause the jar to be damaged or to shatter which
may cause personal injury.
2 WARNING: The blade assemblies are sharp, not locked in
place and removable, handle with care. When handling the
blade assemblies, always hold by the shaft. Failure to do so
will result in a risk of laceration.
3 WARNING: Stacked Blade Assembly is sharp and not
locked in place. If using the pour spout, ensure the lid is
fully locked onto the pitcher. If pouring with the lid removed,
carefully remove the Stacked Blade Assembly first, holding it
by the shaft. Failure to do so will result in a risk of laceration.

Nutri Ninja® cups.
6 CAUTION: 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 or jar 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 Spout lid to
cover.

a handle to avoid direct hand contact with
blades. Handle blade assemblies with care to
avoid contact with sharp edges. Rinse and air
dry thoroughly.
Dishwasher: The containers, lids, blade

dishwasher safe. The lids and blade
assemblies are top rack dishwasher safe.
Ensure that the Blade Assemblies are
removed from the containers before placing

Please call customer service if any
servicing needs to be performed on the
appliance at 0800 862 0453.
STORING:
1 Store the Ninja® Compact Blender Duo
upright with the blade assembly inside the
corresponding container with the lid secured
on top. Do not place anything on top. Store
the rest of the attachments in a safe place
where they will not be damaged and won’t
cause harm. Loosely wrap the power cord
around the motor base.
NOTE:
Do not store blended or unblended
ingredients in the Nutri Ninja cup with the
blade assembly attached.

The Ninja Compact Blender Duo 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. Allow the appliance to cool for
approximately 15 minutes. To reset the appliance,
follow the resetting procedure below:
1 Unplug the appliance from the electrical
outlet.
2 Remove and empty the container and ensure
that no food is jamming the blade assembly.
3 Allow the appliance to cool for approximately
15 minutes.
4 Re-install the container onto the base and re-
plug the appliance into the electrical outlet.
5 Proceed with using the appliance as before
while making sure not to exceed the
maximum recommended capacities.

Unit doesn’t turn on:
• Make sure the unit is plugged in and the POWER button is pressed.
• Insert and rotate the container or accessory clockwise in the base until it clicks into place. Display should illuminate.
Unit doesn’t turn off:
• Remove cup from base by rotating cup anticlockwise 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.
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 add liquids, then powders/dry ingredients, and finally frozen items or ice.
Unit moves on the 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 the counter for storage:
• To release the motor base from the counter or tabletop, place your fingers under the sides of the black paddles on the sides of the motor base and lift up to release
suction cup feet.
