IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR NINJA® PROFESSIONAL BLENDER.

POLARIZED PLUG WARNING: To reduce the risk of

electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will ﬁt into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician to install the proper outlet. DO NOT modify the plug in

any way.

1. To protect against electrical shock, do not submerge the blender or allow the power cord to come into contact with water or any other liquid.

2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

3. Never leave an appliance unattended when in use.

4. Turn the appliance Off and remove the power cord from the electrical outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the electrical outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

5. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never carry the appliance by the power cord or yank it to disconnect from electrical outlet; instead grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

6. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to EURO-PRO Operating LLC for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. DO NOT let the power cord hang over the edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces such as the stove.

8. Always use appliance on a dry, level surface.

9. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the appliance. A scraper may be used but only when the blender is not running.

10. CAUTION: Blade assembly is sharp, handle with care. When handling the blade assembly, always hold by the shaft.

11. Avoid contact with moving parts.

12. DO NOT attempt to sharpen

blades.

13. DO NOT use the appliance if blade assembly is bent or damaged.

14. To reduce risk of injury, never place the blade assembly on base without pitcher properly attached.

15. DO NOT operate this appliance on or near any hot surfaces (such as gas or electric burner or in a heated oven).

16. The use of attachments or accessories including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may result in ﬁre, electric shock or personal injury.

17. DO NOT remove the pitcher from the motor base while the blender is in operation.

18. To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER operate the appliance without the lid in place; DO NOT try to defeat the interlock mechanism; make sure that the cutting blades are properly installed before operating the appliance.

19. DO NOT expose pitcher to extreme temperature changes.

20. Exercise extreme caution when blending hot liquids.

21. CAUTION: Do not process food or liquid that is hotter than 180°F/82°C. Allow very hot ingredients to cool before processing.

22. DO NOT overﬁll.

23. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water or other liquids.

24. When processing hot foods or liquids, always open the pouring spout cap to vent the steam. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the opening to prevent possible burns or scalding.

25. DO NOT operate the appliance empty.

26. Always allow the appliance to cool after blending hot liquids before taking off parts and before cleaning.

27. If the appliance overheats, a thermal switch will become activated and shut off the motor. To reset, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for approximately 15 minutes before using again.

28. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use. Do not use outdoors.

NOTE: This unit has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. An extension cord may be used if you are careful in its use.

1. If using an extension cord, the

electrical rating of the extension cord should be rated at least 15 amperes. Extension cords rated for less amperage may overheat.

2. An extension cord must be arranged

so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
