HINTS & TIPS FOR USING YOUR NINJA®

• The chopping blades can be used for chopping meat, ﬁsh, vegetables, cheese etc.

• For mincing, chopping and pureeing, increase the length of pulses.

• For coarse chopping, use short, quick pulses and monitor food texture.

• Pre-cut larger pieces to make them ﬁt into the pitcher. When chopping hard foods (e.g. meat, cheese) cut into 1-inch cubes.

• To crush ice into snow, start by using short pulses to break up large chunks. Continue until snow is achieved.

Motor Doesn’t Start or Blades Don’t Rotate.

Food is Unevenly Chopped.

Food is Chopped Too Fine or is Too Watery.

Food Collects On Splash Guard/Safety Cover or On the Sides of the pitcher.

You Cannot Achieve Snow From Solid Ice.

Check that the bottom of motor head is clean and there is no food blocking connection when placing on containers.

There is too much food in the pitcher.

The unit has overheated. Unplug and wait approximately 10 minutes before usingagain.

Make sure the splash guard is securely on pitcher.

Make sure the power head is securely placed on splash guard.

Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet.

Check fuse or breaker. Replace fuse/reset breaker.

Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are not small enough. Try cutting the food into smaller pieces of even size and processing smaller amounts per batch.

The food has been over processed. Use brief pulses or process for shorter time. Let blades stop completely between pulses.

You may be processing too much food. Turn the machine Off. When the blades stop rotating, remove the power head and the splash guard. Remove some of the food being processed.

Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Be sure to use short pulses in the beginning to break up large pieces.
