IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

23 Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the

container when loading and operating.

24 ONLY use attachments and accessories

that are provided with the product or are recommended by SharkNinja.

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 High-Speed Blender™ 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.

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.

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 pour spout cover while

blender is operating.

DO 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.

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.

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.

5 1- 877-646-5288

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 High-Speed Blender™ 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 High-Speed Blender cup. Other conﬁgurations may draw less power or current.

43 DO NOT process dry ingredients without

adding liquid to the High-Speed Blender cup. The High-Speed Blender cup is not intended for dry blending.

44 The Blade Discs are sharp. Always use the

handles on the side of each Blade Disc when placing it into the Bowl or removing it. Follow all cleaning instructions. Failure to do so will result in a risk of laceration.

45 When using the Spiralizer, ALWAYS use

the Food Pusher. NEVER feed ingredients into the Spiralizer by hand or with other utensils. Failure to use the Food Pusher may cause personal injury.

46 If Blade Discs appear to be damaged or

broken, do not use or attempt to repair. Call customer service for assistance.

47 DO NOT attempt to sharpen Blade Discs.

48 DO NOT remove Feed Chute Lid until

Blade Disc stops spinning.
