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:

ENGLISH

1 Read all instructions prior to using the

appliance and its accessories.

2 Carefully observe and follow all warnings

and instructions. This unit contains
electrical connections and moving parts
that potentially present risk to the user.

3 This product is provided with a Chopping

Blade Assembly. Always exercise care
when handling blade assemblies. The
blade assemblies are sharp and are
NOT locked in place in their containers.
The blade assemblies are designed to
be removable to facilitate cleaning and
replacement if needed. ONLY grasp the
blade assembly by the top of the shaft.
Failure to use care when handling the blade
assemblies will result in a risk of laceration.

4 Take your time and exercise care during

unpacking and appliance setup. This
appliance contains sharp, loose blades that
can cause injury if mishandled.

5 Take inventory of all contents to ensure

you have all parts needed to properly and
safely operate your appliance.

6 Unplug the appliance from the outlet

when not in use, before assembling or
disassembling parts, and before cleaning.
To unplug, grasp the plug by the body
and pull from the outlet. Never unplug by
grasping and pulling the flexible cord.

7 Before use, wash all parts that may come

in contact with food. Follow washing
instructions covered in this instruction
manual.

8 To protect against the risk of electric

shock, DO NOT submerge the appliance
or allow the power cord to contact any
form of liquid.

9 DO NOT use this appliance outdoors. It is

designed for indoor household use only.

10 This appliance has a polarized plug (one

blade 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.

11 DO NOT operate any appliance with

a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
This appliance has important markings
on the plug blade. The entire cordset is
not suitable for replacement. If damaged,
please contact SharkNinja LLC for service.

12 Extension cords should NOT be used with

this appliance.

13 DO NOT allow young children to operate

this appliance or use as a toy. Close
supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used near children.

14 This appliance is NOT intended to be used

by people (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.

15 Before each use, inspect blade assemblies

for damage. If a blade is bent or damage is
suspected, contact SharkNinja to arrange
for replacement.

16 DO NOT attempt to sharpen blades.

17 DO NOT allow the cord to hang over the

edges of tables or counters. The cord may
become snagged and pull the appliance off
the work surface.

18 DO NOT allow the unit or the cord to

contact hot surfaces, including stoves and
other heating appliances.

19 ALWAYS use the appliance on a dry and

level surface.

20 NEVER place a blade assembly on the

motor base without it first being attached
to its corresponding bowl and lid.

21 Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the

container when loading and operating.

22 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.

23 During operation and handling of the

appliance, avoid contact with moving
parts.

24 DO NOT operate the appliance with an

empty container.

25 DO NOT fill containers past the max fill or

max liquid lines.

26 DO NOT microwave any containers or

accessories provided with the appliance.

27 Before operation, ensure all utensils are

removed from containers. Failure to remove
utensils can cause containers to shatter
and potentially result in personal injury and
property damage.

28 Keep hands and utensils out of containers

while in use to reduce the risk of severe
personal injury or damage to the unit. A
scraper may ONLY be used when the unit
is not running.

29 NEVER operate the appliance without lids

and caps in place. DO NOT attempt to
defeat the interlock mechanism. Ensure
the container and lid are properly installed
before operation.

30 DO NOT expose the containers and

accessories to extreme temperature
changes. They may experience damage.

31 NEVER leave the appliance unattended

while in use.

32 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.

when placing it into the bowl or removing
it. Follow all cleaning instructions. Failure to
do so will result in a risk of laceration.
