Important safeguards

Warning! To avoid the risk of serious injury, carefully read all instructions before operating your nutribullet®. When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following important information.

Save these instructions! ! FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Do not use outdoors.
NEVER LEAVE THE nutribullet® UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS IN USE.
ALWAYS TURN THE nutribullet® OFF WHEN NOT IN USE.
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
Switch off the appliance and disconnect from supply before changing accessories or approaching parts that move in use.
Appliances can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and if they understand the hazards involved.
Do not use this appliance for anything but its intended use. Misuse may result in personal injury

HEAT & PRESSURE SAFETY

Always use extreme care and attention when using hot ingredients in any blending product, as the friction from the rotating blades (during the blending process) combined with the thermal energy of the heated ingredients can create a dangerous situation if not properly controlled.
Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender as it can be ejected out of the appliance due to sudden steaming.

Use extra caution when blending hot liquids in the pitcher.
Never turn the power on while using the pitcher without the vented lid cap inserted and locked into the pitcher lid, as ingredients can splash and if hot or warm, could potentially cause thermal injury or property damage.

Steam and splattering ingredients can escape through the pitcher lid, potentially scalding and/ or burning the user.
EVER blend hot liquids in your pitcher without the pitcher lid and vented lid cap attached and locked. The vented lid cap allows steam and pressure to escape, while guarding against excess splashing.

When blending hot liquids, add liquid and solid ingredients to your pitcher below their respective MAX lines. Attach the pitcher lid with the vented lid cap inserted and locked. Press POWER and begin blending on the LOW setting. Once ingredients are integrated adjust speed as needed. If the nutribullet® blends for longer than one minute, friction from the blades can cause ingredients to heat and generate internal pressure inside the vessel. If a blending vessel becomes warm to the touch, turn off the machine and allow the vessel to cool completely before carefully opening, pointed away from your body to avoid injury.

BLADE SAFETY

Blades are sharp!
Handle carefully. Use care when handling any blade. To avoid laceration injury, do not handle or touch any blade edge.
Caution must be observed when emptying vessels and during cleaning.

AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS! Keep hands and utensils out of and away from blades while blending food to reduce the risk of severe personal injury.

After blending, turn the unit off. Wait to remove the pitcher from the motor base until the blades come to a full stop and the unit powers down completely. Taking the vessel off the unit prior to complete power down can cause damage to the blade coupling or motor gear
Never use the nutribullet® Blender without adding liquid, as doing so may damage the blades.
The cyclonic action® of your nutribullet® Blender requires the use of liquids to make smoothies and other nutritious items. The nutribullet® Blender is not intended to be used without liquids, or as an ice crusher. ALWAYS ADD LIQUID to your recipe.
DO NOT USE the nutribullet® Blender for grinding dry ingredients such as grains, cereal, or coffee, as this may damage the motor and blade.

PITCHER SAFETY

Always operate the pitcher with the pitcher lid securely in place.
With recipes that require certain ingredients to be incorporated during blending, first add the base ingredients, seal the pitcher lid with vented lid cap attached, and begin blending. Then, once the ingredients are well mixed, twist open the vented lid cap and carefully pour or drop ingredients into the mixture.
If you need to push ingredients closer to the blade, ONLY USE THE TAMPER PROVIDED with the nutribullet® Blender configuration. DO NOT use any apparatus other than the tamper to push ingredients toward the blade. The tamper is specifically designed not to come in contact with the blade. Spatulas, spoons and other tools can make contact with the blade, which may result in damage to the machine, damage to property, and possible injury.
NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR ANY PART OF YOUR HAND TO PUSH INGREDIENTS DOWN TOWARD THE BLADE. Only use the provided tamper.
Remember to use extra caution when blending hot liquids or ingredients in the pitcher.
Spray or escaping steam may cause burns and/or property damage. Do not fill container above the maximum capacity lines indicated for liquids and solid ingredients.

Always begin blending hot ingredients on the LOW setting.

Keep hands and other exposed skin away from lid opening to prevent possible burns.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Do not use this product in locations with different electrical specifications or plug types. Do not operate with any type of plug adapter or voltage converter device, as these may cause electrical shorting, fire, electric shock, personal injury, or product damage.
The use of attachments, including canning jars, is not recommended and may cause fire, electric shock, personal injury, or product damage and will void the product’s warranty.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the cord, plug, or motor base of the nutribullet® in water or other liquids. Discontinue use if the cord, plug, or motor base is damaged.
Always POWER OFF and UNPLUG the nutribullet® Blender when it is not in use or BEFORE assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or cleaning. Do not attempt to handle the nutribullet® Blender until all parts have stopped moving.
Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the table or counter. Do not pull, twist, or damage the power cord. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
If the motor stops working, unplug the motor base and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before attempting to use it again. Your nutribullet® Blender has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the motor when it overheats. The thermal breaker will reset when the unit is unplugged, and the thermal breaker cools down sufficiently.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

STOVE-TOP HEATING SAFETY

To heat items that have been blended at room temperature or cooler (21°C/70°F or less), transfer mixture to a stovetop pot to heat. Always use a thermometer to test the internal temperature of cooked ingredients; they may feel cool to the touch, yet still be hot inside.

The nutribullet® Blender is not intended for use on the stove top. Do not place the motor base or any nutribullet® accessory on the stove or immerse in boiling water. This may result in damage to the accessory.

VENTILATION WARNINGS

To prevent a fire hazard, power base openings (underneath the motor base) should be free of dust or lint and never obstructed with flammable materials such as newspapers, tablecloths, napkins, dishtowels, place mats or other similar type materials.
CAUTION! Always operate the nutribullet® Blender on a levelsurface, leaving unobstructed space beneath and around the motor base to permit proper air circulation. Vents on the bottom of the product are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable motor operation and to prevent overheating.

MEDICAL SAFETY

The information contained in the User Guide and Recipe Guide is not meant to replace the advice of your physician. Always consult your physician regarding health and nutrition concerns

MEDICATION INTERACTIONS:

If you are taking any medication, especially cholesterol-lowering medication, blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, tranquilizers, or antidepressants, please check with your physician before trying any of the recipes contained in this user guide or recipe guide.
Avoid blending the following seeds and pits, as they contain a chemical known to release cyanide into the body when ingested: apple seeds, cherry pits, plum pits, peach pits, and apricot pits. Fruit pits may also cause damage to the pitcher.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER USAGE

Do not place any of the nutribullet® Blender parts in a microwave, oven, in a stovetop pot, or immerse in boiling water, as this may result in damage to the part.
TO AVOID LEAKAGE, DO NOT OVERFILL THE PITCHER! Your pitcher is marked with two MAX lines: one for solid ingredients (higher line) and one for liquids (lower line). When filling the blender, make sure your ingredients do not exceed their respective MAX lines. Exceeding either MAX line can result in leakage, and may lead to dangerous pressurization, which can cause the vessel and blade assembly to separate, potentially resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
The pitcher is specific to the exact model of nutribullet® Blender you possess. Use of incompatible parts (parts from other models) may result in damage to your nutribullet® Blender or create safety hazards. When ordering replacement parts on nutribullet.com or via customer service, please specify the machine model to ensure you receive parts that are compatible with your unit.
Periodically inspect all nutribullet® Blender components for damage or wear that may impair proper function or present an electrical hazard. Make sure that the power cord and plug are undamaged. Discontinue use and replace blending vessels if you detect cracking, cloudiness, or damage to the plastic. Ensure that the blades rotate freely and that the structure is undamaged. Make sure that the motor base is unobstructed and clean. Follow maintenance recommended in the User Guide and never operate your nutribullet® Blender with damaged components. If your nutribullet® Blender malfunctions in any way, immediately discontinue use and contact customer service. You may purchase new nutribullet® cups, pitchers, and easy twist extractor blades at nutribullet.com or by contacting customer service.

Care & maintenance

Here’s how to clean the nutribullet®:

Please follow the below cleaning instructions before the first use, and after each use.
STEP 1: The most important thing — ALWAYS POWER OFF
THE UNIT and UNPLUG the motor base from the power outlet when it is not in use. Do not attempt to handle the appliance until all parts have stopped moving! This includes during assembly and disassembly, while changing accessories during cleaning, and any time you leave the machine unattended.
STEP 2: Detach the pitcher from the motor base.
STEP 3: Clean the individual components (motor base, pitcher) as recommended in the following pages.

MOTOR BASE:

To avoid risk of injury, NEVER attempt to clean the actuator system on the motor base while the nutribullet® Blender is plugged in.
Do not attempt to remove any pieces from the motor base.
Use a sponge or dish cloth dampened with warm soapy water to wipe down the
motor base until clean.
To clean leakage residue from the motor base, wipe with a damp sponge and warm water.
If necessary, you may use a small brush to scrub the actuator system area to ensure it’s clean.
WARNING: Never submerge the motor base in water.

nutribullet® PITCHER:

WARNING: Blades are sharp!
Use caution when cleaning the pitcher.

The pitcher is dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing and briefly scrubbing it with a dish brush to remove any remaining debris before placing in the dishwasher. NEVER use the sanitize cycle to wash the pitcher — heat this high can warp the plastic
If preferred, hand-wash the pitcher with soap and water. Stuck-on ingredients might require extra scrubbing from a dish brush or sponge.
Regularly check the structure of the pitcher and twisting threads for cracking, crazing, or breakage. If damaged, replace immediately to prevent possible personal injury.
NEVER USE A PITCHER THAT DOES NOT PROPERLY ALIGN WITH THE BLADE. Doing so may cause the pitcher and motor base to separate, exposing the blade assembly and potentially causing severe personal injury.

TAMPER

Always hand-wash the tamper with soap and water. Stuck-on ingredients might require extra scrubbing from a dish brush or sponge.

STUBBORN CLEAN UP:

If ingredients dry inside the nutribullet® Blender, fill your vessel with water to the liquid MAX line and add 1-2 drops of dish soap. Attach the pitcher lid with the vented lid cap inserted, and place the pitcher on the motor base. Blend on LOW for 20-30 seconds; this should loosen any remaining debris.

How to store:

Store the nutribullet® pitcher upright with the pitcher lid secured on top. Do not place anything on top of the pitcher lid. Store remaining pieces in a safe place where they will not be damaged and won’t cause harm.
