or allow the power cord to contact any
form of liquid.

10 DO NOT use this appliance outdoors. It is

designed for indoor household use only.

11 This appliance has a polarized plug (one

prong is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the
plug in any way.

WARNING

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

5 6

1- 877- 64 6- 5288 ninjakitchen.com

23 Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the

container.

24 ONLY use attachments and accessories

that are provided with the product or are
recommended by SharkNinja. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by
SharkNinja may cause fire, electric shock
or injury.

25 During operation and handling of the

appliance, avoid contact with moving
parts.

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

the Single-Serve Cup and Pro Extractor
Blades® Assembly.

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.

31 Keep hands and utensils out of containers

while chopping to reduce the risk of severe
personal injury or damage to the blender/
food chopper. A scraper may ONLY
be used when the food chopper is not
running. When using the chopper, always
use food pusher to add food. NEVER add
food by hand.

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 lid or pour spout cap while

blender is operating.

36 DO NOT blend hot liquids. Doing so

may result in pressure buildup and steam
exposure that can pose a risk of the user
being burned.

37 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

38 DO NOT attempt to remove the container

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

39 Upon completion of processing, ensure

that the blade assembly is removed
BEFORE emptying container’s contents.
Remove the blade assembly by carefully
grasping the top of the shaft and lifting
it from the container. Failure to remove
the blade assembly before emptying the
container results in a risk of laceration.

40 Remove the Pro Extractor Blades

®

Assembly from the Single-Serve 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 Pro Extractor Blades Assembly and
Single-Serve Cup. Other configurations
may draw less power or current.

43 DO NOT process dry ingredients without

adding liquid to the Single-Serve Cup. The
Single-Serve Cup is not intended for dry
blending.

44 DO NOT submerge the motor base or

touchscreen in water or other liquids. DO
NOT spray the motor base or touchscreen
with any liquids. Turn off and unplug the
motor base before cleaning.
