Using The Total Crushing® Pitcher - Ninja AMZ493BRN Owner's Manual

USING THE TOTAL CRUSHING® PITCHER
IMPORTANT: Review all warnings on
pages 4–7 before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: As a safety feature, if the
pitcher and lid are not properly installed,
the timer will display "– –" and the motor
will be disabled. If this happens, repeat
step 5 on page 13. When the pitcher and
lid are properly installed, the program
button LEDs will illuminate, indicating
the appliance is ready to use.
NOTE: Preset programs have pauses and
changes in speed throughout the cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT add ingredients before
completing installation of the Stacked
Blade Assembly.
NOTE: The pitcher can only be installed
in one orientation. The handle must be
positioned on the front-right corner of
the motor base to operate the appliance.
TIP: If the Stacked Blade Assembly is not
fully seated, you will not be able to install
and lock the lid.

Plug in motor base and place on a clean,
dry, level surface such as a countertop
or table.
2 Lower the Total Crushing Pitcher onto
the motor base. The handle should
be aligned slightly to the right and the
pitcher should be oriented so the LOCK
symbols are visible on the motor base.
Rotate the pitcher clockwise until it
clicks into place.
3 Exercising care, grasp the Stacked
Blade Assembly by the top of the shaft
and place it onto the drive gear inside
the pitcher. Note that the blade assembly
will fit loosely onto the drive gear.
4 Add ingredients to the pitcher. DO NOT
add ingredients past the MAX LIQUID
line on the pitcher.
5 Place the lid on the pitcher, aligning
the triangle symbol on the lid with the
triangle symbol on the handle. Press
down on the handle until it clicks into
place. The triangle symbols MUST be
aligned for the lid to lock and the unit
to operate. Once the lid is locked in
place, the available program buttons
will illuminate and the unit will be ready
for use.

feature will automatically stop at the end
of the program. To pause the unit at any
time, press the currently active button
again.
6b If using START/STOP, once ingredients
have reached the desired consistency,
press START/STOP again and wait for
the unit to come to a complete stop.
7 To remove the pitcher from the motor
base, turn the pitcher counterclockwise
and then lift it.
8a To pour out thinner mixtures, ensure
the lid is locked in place, then open the
pour spout cap.

emptied through the pour spout,
remove the lid and Stacked Blade
Assembly before pouring. To remove
the lid, press the RELEASE button and
lift the handle. To remove the blade
assembly, carefully grasp it by the
top of the shaft. The pitcher can then
be emptied.
