28 totalWhat is the maximum liquid capacity for the pitcher?
The maximum liquid capacity for the pitcher is 64 oz. (1.9 L, 8 cups). The total pitcher capacity is 72 oz. (2.1 L, 9 cups), but you should never exceed the 'Max liquid' mark when blending liquids such as smoothies or drinks. (Page 4)
What should I do if the blender overheats and shuts off?
Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and remove and empty the container, ensuring no food is jamming the blade assemblies. Allow the appliance to cool for approximately 15 minutes, then re-install the container and plug the appliance back in before resuming use. Make sure not to exceed the recommended maximum capacities going forward. (Page 11)
How do I properly clean the Ninja BL660 blender?
Unplug the motor base before cleaning, then wipe it with a damp cloth — never immerse it in water. The pitcher, Nutri Ninja cups, lids, and attachments are all dishwasher safe; place lids and attachments on the top rack. Alternatively, hand wash all parts except the motor base in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth, handling blade assemblies with care. (Page 11)
How do I set up and use the Nutri Ninja Cup?
Add ingredients to the Nutri Ninja cup, screw the blade assembly tightly onto the cup, then turn the cup upside down and place it onto the motor base, turning it clockwise until you hear a click. Press down on the Single Serve button in short intervals to blend, and when done, turn the cup counter-clockwise and pull straight up to remove it. (Page 8)
Can I blend hot liquids in the Ninja BL660?
No, you should not blend hot liquids in the BL660. When blending sauces and soups, make sure they are cooled to room temperature first, as Ninja containers are not intended for hot blending. (Pages 8, 10)
How long is the warranty on the Ninja BL660, and what does it cover?
The Ninja BL660 comes with a one (1) year limited warranty from the date of purchase when used under normal household conditions. The warranty covers material defects and workmanship but does not cover normal wear, misuse, abuse, commercial use, or damage caused by unauthorized repairs. If found defective, SharkNinja will repair or replace it free of charge, though you must include $19.95 for return shipping and handling. (Page 14)
