GETTING TO KNOW THE TWISTI PITCHER

Powering through tough and frozen ingredients used to require a lot of stopping, scraping, and recipe tinkering. With our new TWISTi pitcher, it is easier than ever to create thick and spoonable smoothie bowls, nut butters, and more. All you have to do is twist the built-in tamper on the lid while blending to push ingredients down toward the blades.

USING THE CONTROL PANEL

NOTE: For best results when making thicker recipes, use the BOWL or SPREAD program and twist the built-in tamper continuously while processing.

AUTO-IQ® PROGRAMS

Intelligent preset programs combine unique blending and pausing patterns that do the work for you. Once a preset program is selected, it will start immediately and automatically stop when blending is complete. To stop blending before the end of the program, press the currently active button again.

EXTRACT

Ideal for tough, leafy, or fibrous whole fruits and vegetables, including their skins, seeds, and stems.

SMOOTHIE (not included with all models)

Combine your favorite fresh or frozen ingredients, liquids, and powders to create smoothies and protein shakes.

FROZEN

Crush ice and frozen fruit into restaurant-style frozen drinks.

SPREAD (not included with all models)

Create anything from spreadable nut butters to zesty dressings to the perfect hummus.

BOWL

Make thick, spoonable smoothie bowls, creamy frozen yogurt, and refreshing sorbets.

MANUAL MODE

START/STOP

Press once to start continuous running up to 60 seconds; press again to stop. It can also be pressed to stop a running Auto-iQ program.

PULSE

Offers greater control of pulsing and blending. Operates only when PULSE is pressed. Use short presses for short pulses and long presses for long pulses.

NOTE: Manual programs cannot be used in conjunction with any Auto-iQ programs.

USING THE NINJA® TWISTI™ PITCHER

IMPORTANT: Review all warnings before proceeding.

NOTE:

While processing thick ingredients, twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously.
Keep the drizzle cap closed while processing liquids.

Place the motor base on a clean, dry, level surface such as a countertop or table, then plug in the unit.
Screw on the Hybrid Edge™ Blade Assembly until you have a tight seal. Fill the pitcher with desired contents up to your chosen serving lines.
If making a smoothie bowl, for a single serving, use the lines, or for two servings, use the lines.
Install the lid by aligning the red rectangle on the lid with the red line on the top surface of the pitcher handle. Rotate the tab of the lid with the release button clockwise into the pitcher handle to lock into place.
Install the pitcher on the motor base by aligning the tabs on the pitcher with the slots on the base. Rotate the pitcher clockwise until it clicks into place. Programs will illuminate when the unit is ready to use.
If using an Auto-iQ® program, select the program that best suits your desired output. For thick outputs, twist the built-in tamper on the lid counterclockwise continuously while processing. To stop the unit at any time, press the currently active program again. If using START/STOP, when the ingredients have reached your desired consistency, press the button again, or wait for the unit to come to a complete stop after 60 seconds. If making thick outputs, twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously while processing. If using PULSE, use short presses for short pulses and long presses for long pulses. If the results are too thick, open the drizzle hole cap and add more liquid. Close the cap and continue twisting the tamper counterclockwise during blending.
Remove the lid by pressing the button on the tab until it opens. Lift up to remove. Remove the pitcher from the motor base by turning it counterclockwise and then lifting up.
To enjoy on the go, pour into a Nutrient Extraction Cup, place the Spout Lid on the top, and twist the lid clockwise until firmly sealed. Or pour into a reusable cup of choice.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Hand-Washing

Wash containers, lids, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Use a dishwashing utensil with a handle to avoid direct contact with the blades. Exercise care when handling the blade assembly as the blades are sharp. Thoroughly rinse and air-dry all parts.

Stuck-on ingredients in the pitcher

For stuck-on ingredients, place 1 or 2 small drops of dish soap into the pitcher, and add warm water up to the single-serve Liquid Fill line. Install the lid and blend on the BOWL program. Twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously while cleaning.

Dishwasher

Containers, lids, and blade assembly are dishwasher safe. Ensure the blade assembly and lid are removed from the container before placing it in the dishwasher.

Motor Base

Turn off the unit and unplug the motor base before cleaning. Wipe the motor base with a clean, damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cloths, pads, or brushes to clean the base.

STORING

For cord storage, wrap the cord with a hook-and-loop fastener near the back of the motor base. DO NOT wrap the cord around the bottom of the motor base.

DO NOT store blended or unblended ingredients in the cup or pitcher with the blade assembly attached. Use only the spout lid when storing blended or unblended ingredients in the cup.

DO NOT stack items on top of the containers. Store any remaining attachments alongside the unit or in a cabinet where they will not be damaged or create a hazard.

RESETTING THE MOTOR THERMOSTAT

This unit features a unique safety system that prevents damage to the motor and drive system should you inadvertently overload it. If the unit is overloaded, the motor will be temporarily disabled. Should this occur, follow the reset procedure below.

Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
Allow the unit to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
Remove the blade assembly from the container. Empty the container and ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assembly.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that maximum capacities are not exceeded. This is the most typical cause of appliance overload.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn the power off and unplug the unit before troubleshooting.

Display reads “–”.

If the vessel is properly installed and the display reads ‘- -’, ensure the interior of the base area is clean of any debris.

The control panel does not illuminate.

Make sure the unit is plugged in. If the unit is plugged in and no container is installed, the unit will display ‘- -’. The available programs will illuminate after placing a container on base and rotating it clockwise until it clicks into place.

The control panel doesn’t turn off.

Remove the container from the base by rotating it counterclockwise and lifting it up. The display with flash ‘- -’. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the unit remains plugged in, the display will time out after 3 minutes of inactivity. Press any button to wake the unit.

Doesn’t mix well; ingredients get stuck.

Using the Auto-iQ® programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow the ingredients to settle toward the blade assembly. If ingredients are routinely getting stuck, adding some liquid will usually help.
When filling the cup, start with fresh fruit or veggies, then leafy greens or herbs. Next, add liquids or yogurt, then seeds, powders, or nut butters. Finally, add ice or frozen ingredients.
If using the TWISTi Pitcher, during the blending process, twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously to circulate ingredients.

The unit moves on the counter while blending.

Make sure the counter and feet of the unit are clean and dry.

Lid or Hybrid Edge™ Blades Assembly is hard to install on the container.

Set the container on a level surface. Carefully place the lid or blade assembly on the top of the container and align the threads so the lid/blade assembly sits flat. Twist clockwise until you have a tight seal.

Can’t remove the tamper from the pitcher lid for cleaning.

The tamper is built in and not removable from the pitcher lid.

Display reads “E1”

If the display reads “E1”, the motor has been running for too long. As a safety feature, we recommend running the unit for less than 3 minutes consecutively. Unplug the unit and let it cool for 15 minutes before running it again.
