FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Keep cord out of reach of children.
• NEVER LEAVE THE NUTRIBULLET® UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• DO NOT USE OUTDOORS.
• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE NUTRIBULLET® WHEN NOT IN USE.

HEAT & PRESSURE **SAFETY**
To avoid personal injury, never blend hot or carbonated ingredients in any sealed NutriBullet® cup!

WARNING!
Heated ingredients can pressurize sealed containers when agitated and violently expel hot contents upon opening. Always start the blending process at room temperature or with refrigerated ingredients and liquids (21°C/70°F or cooler).
Never continuously operate for longer than necessary to create your recipe — generally less than one minute.
Never blend carbonated liquids or effervescing ingredients (e.g., baking soda, baking powder, yeast, etc.). Pressure from released gases can cause a sealed NutriBullet ® cup to burst, resulting in possible injury and/or property damage. Blade friction from the prolonged operation can heat ingredients and generate internal pressure in the sealed container. This pressure can cause the cup and blade to separate or blend contents to erupt from the container, resulting in possible personal injury and/or property damage. If the sealed NutriBullet ® cups are warm to the touch, power off your machine and allow the vessel to cool for fifteen minutes or more. Allow contents to settle before slowly releasing the cup from the motor base. With the NutriBullet ® cup, pointed away from your face and body, slowly unscrew the extractor blade to gently release any residual pressure.

FRICTION FROM THE ROTATING EXTRACTOR BLADES WHEN BLENDING CAN CAUSE INGREDIENTS TO HEAT AND GENERATE INTERNAL PRESSURE IN THE SEALED CUP IF PERMITTED TO RUN FOR LONGER THAN A MINUTE. IF THE CUP IS WARM TO TOUCH ALLOW IT TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CAREFULLY OPENING, POINTING AWAY FROM YOUR BODY TO AVOID INJURY.

• After blending, allow the contents to settle and release any pressure that may have built up during the extraction process by slowly unscrewing the container from the blade assembly. Has the container pointed away from you in case there is any built-up pressure?
• If you need to blend for longer than one minute, blend for 1-minute intervals. After the initial and each subsequent 1-minute blending cycle, allow the motor base to shut off completely and wait at least one minute before starting another cycle.
• Do not run for more than 3 consecutive 1-minute intervals to prevent the contents from overheating. Allow contents to settle for 2-3 minutes after the third extraction cycle to prevent overheating and buildup of pressure.
• DO NOT ALLOW BLENDED MIXTURES TO SIT IN A SEALED CONTAINER FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME! Sugar in fruits and vegetables can ferment over time, releasing gases and causing pressure to build up in a sealed NutriBullet ® cup. If you will not consume your smoothie immediately, remove the blade, cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Never store any blended mixture in a sealed NutriBullet® cup either unrefrigerated or for any prolonged period of time; contents will spoil and ferment.

EXTRACTOR BLADE SAFETY

Never store any extractor blade in the motor base unattached to a NutriBullet® cup. An exposed blade can present a laceration hazard.

WARNING!
BLADES ARE SHARP! HANDLE CAREFULLY. Use care when handling any blade. To avoid laceration injury, do not handle or touch any blade edge.
AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS! Keep hands and utensils out of and away from the extractor blade while blending food to reduce the risk of severe personal injury.

• To prevent leakage and the possible separation of components during operation, properly align and securely attach (hand tightens) the blade to a NutriBullet ® cup, and check for leakage before placing it on the motor base and operating your NutriBullet ®.
• Once you have stopped your NutriBullet ®, wait until the motor comes to a complete stop and the unit powers down completely before removing the cup/extractor blade from the motor base. Taking the container off the unit prior to complete power down can cause damage to the extractor blade coupling or motor gear.

NEVER BLEND WITHOUT LIQUID AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE EXTRACTOR BLADE OR MOTOR.

• The cyclonic action ® of your NutriBullet ® requires the use of liquids to make smoothies and other nutritious beverages. The NutriBullet ® is not intended to be used as an ice crusher or without liquids. Always add liquid to your smoothie.
• DO NOT USE the extractor blade for grinding dry ingredients such as grains, cereal, or coffee, as this may damage the motor and/or the extractor blade.
• We recommend replacing your extractor blade every 6 months (depending on use) or as needed for optimal performance.
• Certain configurations may contain a milling blade. This blade can be used for milling herbs, spices, grains, and seeds.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING!
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. This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The cord is not suitable for replacement. If damaged the appliance shall be replaced.

POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION:

• Your NutriBullet ® has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other) to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug will correctly fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. For your safety, do not modify the plug or motor base in any way. Doing so will increase the risk of injury and void the product’s warranty.
• The use of third-party attachments, including canning jars, is forbidden and may cause fire, electric shock, personal injury, or product damage and will void the warranty.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the cord, plug, or motor base of the blender in water or other electrical current conducting liquids. Discontinue use if the cord, plug, or motor base is damaged.
• Always UNPLUG the NutriBullet ® when it is not in use or BEFORE assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or cleaning. Do not attempt to handle the NutriBullet until all parts have stopped moving.
• Periodically inspect all NutriBullet ® components for damage or wear that may impair proper function or present an electrical hazard. Assure that the power cord and plug are undamaged. Discontinue use and replace the NutriBullet ® cup if you detect cracking, crazing, cloudiness, or damage to the plastic. Assure that the blades rotate freely and that the gasket is seated and undamaged. Assure that motor base switch actuators are unobstructed, clean, and depress easily. Follow maintenance instructions in this user guide on pages 14-15. Never operate your NutriBullet ® with damaged components. If your NutriBullet ® malfunctions in any way, immediately discontinue use and contact NutriBullet Customer Service at 1 800-523-5993.
• 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 an hour before attempting to use it again. Your NutriBullet® 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.

VENTILATION

WARNING!
To prevent a fire hazard, the openings on the bottom of the motor, and base should be free of dust or lint and never obstructed as they are provided for ventilation to ensure the reliable motor operation to prevent overheating. Never place your NutriBullet® on top of flammable materials such as newspapers, tablecloths, napkins, or dish towels, place
mats or another similar type of material.

• CAUTION! Always operate the NutriBullet ® on a level surface, leaving unobstructed space beneath and around the motor base to permit proper air circulation. Slots on the bottom of the motor base are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation and to prevent motor overheating.
  MICROWAVE & STOVETOP HEATING SAFETY

• DO NOT BLEND HOT INGREDIENTS! After blending room temperature or cooler ingredients (21°C/70°F or less), transfer the mixture to an unsealed, microwave-safe container or to a stove-top pot to heat. Always use a thermometer to test the internal temperature of cooked ingredients, they may feel cool to the touch, but still, be hot inside.

• Do not place any of the NutriBullet ® parts in a microwave, oven or stove-top pot or immerse in boiling water as this may result in damage to the accessory.

• Avoid blending the following seeds and pits in the NutriBullet ®, 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 blade and cup.
  MEDICAL SAFETY

• The information contained in this user 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 smoothie recipes contained in the Recipe Guide.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER USAGE

• TO AVOID LEAKAGE, DO NOT OVERFILL THE CUP! Make sure ingredients and liquid do not exceed the MAX line. The cyclonic action ® of the NutriBullet ® requires space to extract effectively and exceeding the MAX line can result in leakage and may create dangerous pressurization which can cause the vessel and blade assembly to separate.
• Cup and extractor blades are specific to the exact model of NutriBullet ®. The use of incompatible parts (parts from other models) may result in damage to your NutriBullet ® or create safety hazards. When replacing cups or an extractor blade or ordering additional accessories from nutribullet.com, or contacting Customer Service, please specify the model for parts that are compatible with your unit.
• Periodically inspect all NutriBullet ® 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 other damage to the vessel, tabs on the vessel, or actuator tabs of the motor base. 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 on pages 14 and 15 and never operate your NutriBullet ® with damaged components. If your NutriBullet ® malfunctions in any way, immediately discontinue use and contact Customer Service at 1 (800) 5235993. You may purchase new NutriBullet ® cups, and extractor blades at nutribullet.com or by contacting Customer Service.

WARNING!
Heated ingredients can pressurize sealed containers when agitated and violently expel hot contents upon opening. Always start the blending process at room temperature or with refrigerated ingredients and liquids (21°C/70°F or cooler).

1. Review all warning and caution statements in the Important Safeguards section (pg. 2-7) before proceeding to Step 2.

2. Place the motor base on a clean, dry, level surface such as a counter or table.

3. Add ingredients and liquid to the NutriBullet® cup.
   NOTE: Do not overfill! To avoid leakage, do not add ingredients beyond the MAX line.

4. Place the extractor blade onto the cup and twist until it is tightly sealed.

5. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

6. Turn the cup upside down and place it onto the motor base, gently push and twist.

7. Unlock the assembly by gently pushing and untwisting the cup counterclockwise.
   NOTE: Blending should not require longer than one minute to yield smooth and creamy results.

CAUTION Do not remove the extractor blade from the NutriBullet ® cup until blending has completely ceased. Do not use the extractor blade as a storage lid for your cup. Some foods may contain active ingredients or release gases that will expand if left in a sealed container, resulting in excessive pressure buildup that can pose a risk of injury. When storing contents in the cup, use plastic wrap or foil to seal your container. Always point contents away from your body when unsealing.

Care & maintenance.

Cleaning the NutriBullet ® is easy, simply place any of the pieces (except for the motor base and extractor blade) on the TOP RACK of the dishwasher or hand wash with warm soapy water and rinse.

Here’s how to clean the NutriBullet®:

STEP 1:
The most important thing — is ALWAYS UNPLUG the motor base from the power supply outlet when it is left unattended, before assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or approaching parts that move in use or when cleaning. Do not attempt to handle the appliance until all parts have stopped moving!

STEP 2 : Remove the cup/extractor blade assembly from the motor base.
STEP 3: Clean the individual components(motor base, extractor blades, NutriBullet ® cups) as follows:

MOTOR BASE:

• For the most part, the motor base doesn’t really get dirty, but if you neglect to twist the extractor blade onto the cup tightly, liquids can leak out and get into the base and stick to the activator buttons.
• To avoid the risk of injury, NEVER use your hands or utensils to clean the white actuator Tabs while the NutriBullet ® is plugged in
• Do not remove the rubber or plastic liners inside the motor base.
• Use a sponge or dishcloth dampened with warm soapy water to wipe down the inside and outside of the motor base until clean.
• Pay particular attention to the white Actuator Tabs on the inside of the motor base to loosen any sticky debris from drips and spills. If necessary, you may use a small brush to scrub the area to ensure it is kept clean.

**WARNING:** Never submerge the motor base in water.

EXTRACTOR BLADE:

• DO NOT REMOVE THE
  GASKET as this will permanently damage the extractor blade and cause leakage. If after washing as indicated above additional disinfecting is desired, you may rinse with a 10% vinegar/water solution or with lemon juice. If, over time, the gasket becomes loose or damaged, you may order a new extractor blade at NutriBullet.com or contact Customer Service.

• Dry the extractor blade completely. It is helpful to turn the blade on its side in your dish drainer to ensure BOTH SIDES of the extractor blade are completely dried.

NUTRIBULLET® CUPS & TO-GO LIDS:

• These items are all TOP RACK dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing them and giving them a quick brush with a dish brush to remove any dried debris before washing them in the dishwasher. NEVER use the sanitize cycle to wash the Cups as this may warp the plastic.
• Regularly check the 3 tabs on the side of the Cup (cracking, crazing, breakage or rounding). If damaged, replace it immediately to prevent possible personal injury.
• NEVER USE A CUP WITH A BROKEN, DAMAGED, OR MISSING TAB AS DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE CUP AND MOTOR BASE TO SEPARATE EXPOSING THE BLADE ASSEMBLY!

STUBBORN CLEAN-UP:

• If ingredients dry inside the NutriBullet® Cup, make your cleanup a snap by filling the cup about 2/3 full with room temperature (21°C/70°F or less) water and screwing on the extractor blade. Place the cup/extractor blade assembly on the NutriBullet® motor base for about 20-30 seconds. This will loosen the stuck ingredients, and with a light scrub and rinse, you’ll be all finished.
