To reduce the risk of injury, fire, electrical shock or property damage, basic safety precautions must always be followed, including the following numbered warnings and subsequent instructions. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

1. Read all instructions prior to using the appliance and its accessories.

2. Use only a power supply with an extra low voltage corresponding to the marking on the bottom of the motor base.

3. ALWAYS exercise care when cleaning the CrushBlade Assembly inside the vessel. The blades are sharp, handle carefully. Failure to use care when handling the CrushBlade assembly will result in a risk of laceration.

4. Take your time and exercise care during unpacking and appliance setup. This appliance contains sharp 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. Before use, wash all parts that may contact food. Follow washing instructions covered in this Owner’s Guide.

7. DO NOT blend hot, effervescent, or carbonated liquids, as doing so may cause pressure build-up, resulting in risk of burns or other injuries to the user.

8. DO NOT fill the blending vessel past the MAX FILL line.

9. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

10. Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the vessel when loading and operating. DO NOT put your hands inside the vessel or anywhere near the CrushBlade Assembly. Blades can still activate when the sip lid is removed.

11. Remove utensils prior to processing. Failure to remove may cause the blending vessel to be damaged or to shatter, which may cause personal injury.

12. To protect against the risk of fire from battery damage, DO NOT submerge the motor base in any form of liquid.

13. DO NOT store outdoors or allow the motor base to come into contact with any liquid.

14. DO NOT allow children to operate this appliance or use as a toy. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.

15. This appliance is NOT intended to be used by people 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.

16. Before each use, inspect CrushBlade Assembly for damage. If a blade is bent or damage is suspected, contact SharkNinja to arrange for replacement.

17. DO NOT attempt to sharpen blades.

18. DO NOT allow any part of the unit to contact hot surfaces, including stoves and other heating appliances.

19. ALWAYS use the appliance on a dry and level surface.

20. Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the vessel when loading and operating.

21. 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.

22. During operation and handling of the appliance, avoid contact with moving parts.

23. DO NOT operate the appliance with an empty container.

24. DO NOT microwave any containers or accessories provided with the appliance.

25. DO NOT perform grinding operations.

26. DO NOT attempt to defeat the interlock mechanism. Ensure the vessel and sip lid are properly installed before operation.

27. DO NOT expose the containers and accessories to extreme temperature changes. They may experience damage.

28. NEVER leave the appliance unattended while in use.

29. If you find unmixed ingredients sticking to the sides of the cup, turn off the appliance using the Power Button, and use a scraper to dislodge ingredients.

30. DO NOT attempt to remove the vessel and/or sip lid from the motor base while the CrushBlade Assembly is still spinning. Allow the appliance to come to a complete stop before removing lid and/or vessel.

31. DO NOT store ingredients for extended amounts of time before or after blending them. Some foods may contain active ingredients or release gases that will expand if left in a sealed container, resulting in excessive pressure build-up that can pose a risk of injury.

32. If the appliance overheats, a thermal switch will activate and temporarily disable the motor. To reset, turn OFF the Ninja Blast Max Portable Blender using the Power Button and allow it to cool for at least 60 minutes before using again.

33. DO NOT process dry ingredients without adding liquid to the blending vessel. Unit is not intended for dry blending.

34. Operate ONLY with the lid in position as indicated in the instructions. Never put a hand in the jar when it is placed on the base unit. If food needs to be pushed down, use a suitable tool e.g. spatulas.

35. DO NOT refrigerate or freeze the blender motor base.

1. The battery is the power source for the Ninja Blast Max Portable Blender. Carefully read and follow all charging instructions.

2. DO NOT incinerate this appliance even if it is severely damaged. The lithium-ion batteries can explode in a fire. Always properly recycle products powered by lithium-ion batteries.

3. Since there is no power cord, prevent accidental blade activation by ensuring the blender is turned OFF when not in use, while cleaning, or when drinking from the sip lid.

4. Keep the battery away from all metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, or screws. Shorting the battery terminals together increases the risk of fire or burns.

5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with this liquid, as it may cause irritation or burns. If contact occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help.

6. This unit contains batteries that are only replaceable by skilled persons.
