Important safeguards
When operating your magic bullet, remember: Safety comes first.
Warning! To avoid the risk of serious injury, carefully read all
instructions before operating your magic bullet. When using any electrical
appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the
following important information.
Save these instructions!
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY BEFORE
OPERATING.
General safety information
- Close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used by or near children. Keep cord out of reach of children.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- NEVER LEAVE THE MAGIC BULLET® UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS IN USE.
- Do not use your magic bullet® for anything other than its intended use.
Heat & pressure safety
DO NOT BLEND HOT OR CARBONATED INGREDIENTS!
-
Never put hot or carbonated ingredients in any of the cups before or while blending.
-
Heated ingredients can cause pressure to build up in the sealed cup, causing possible expulsion of hot ingredients which may cause personal injury or property damage.
Start with room temperature or cooler ingredients (21°C/70°F or cooler).
To prevent overheating and pressure build-up, never allow the magic bullet® to run more than one minute at a time. -
Ingredients can overheat, building pressure inside the cup that may cause the cup to burst, which may result in possible personal injury or property damage.
-
Never blend carbonated liquids or effervescing ingredients (e.g., baking soda, baking powder, yeast, cake batter, etc.). Built-up pressure from released gases can cause the cup to burst resulting in possible personal injury or property damage. warning: If the machine is left to run for longer than a minute, friction from the rotating extractor blades can heat ingredients and build pressure inside of the sealed cup.
-
If your cup is warm to the touch, stop the machine immediately and allow the cup to cool completely. To open, point the cup away from your body and slowly untwist the blade.
-
After blending ingredients, allow the contents to settle and release any pressure that may have built up during the blending process by slowly unscrewing the cup from the blade assembly.
-
Point the cup away from you as you open it, in case there is any built-up pressure. If the motor stops working, unplug the motor base and let it cool down for at least 15 minutes before attempting to use it again. Your magic bullet® has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the unit when it overheats. Letting the thermal breaker cool down should allow the motor base to reset.
-
Do not allow blended mixtures to sit in a sealed cup for long periods! Sugar in fruits and vegetables can ferment, causing pressure to build up and expand in the cup. This can cause ingredients to burst and spray out when moved or opened.
-
If you do not plan to consume the contents immediately, seal your cup with the magic bullet® stay-fresh resealable lid. Periodically unscrew the lid to release internal pressure if storing longer than a few hours.
Cross-blade safety: CROSS BLADES ARE SHARP! HANDLE CAREFULLY.
Warning: Use care while handling the cross blade. Do not touch the cross-
blade edges to avoid injury.
AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS!
To reduce the risk of severe personal injury, keep hands and utensils out
of and away from the crossblade while blending food. To reduce the risk of
personal injury or property damage, make sure the cross blade is securely
hand-tightened onto the cup before placing it on the motor base and operating
the magic bullet ®.
NEVER STORE THE CROSS BLADE IN THE MOTOR BASE WITHOUT A CUP ATTACHED. THE EXPOSED BLADES CAN PRESENT A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARD.
- To prevent leakage and/or property damage, always make sure your cross-blade is undamaged and the gasket is completely seated in the cross-blade before each use.
- Leakage may cause residue buildup and damage to the motor base. Contact Customer Service 1 800-523-5993 for assistance if any component is damaged or loose, or if you have any questions.
- Once you have finished using your magic bullet ®, wait to remove the cup/cross blade assembly from the motor base until the motor comes to a complete stop and the unit powers down completely.
- Taking the cup off the unit before complete power down can cause damage to the cross blade coupling and/or motor gear.
- NEVER RUN THE MAGIC BULLET ® WITHOUT FOOD OR LIQUID INGREDIENTS IN ANY OF THE CUPS.
- Your magic bullet ® is not intended to be an ice crusher. Attempting to crush ice may cause permanent damage to the cross blade or cause the unit to malfunction resulting in personal injury or property damage.
- Keep hands out of the cup while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to your magic bullet ®. A scraper or spatula maybe used, but must be used only when the blender is not running.
Cup safety
- To avoid leakage, do not overfill the cup! Make sure your ingredients and liquid do not exceed the MAX line. The Cyclonic Action ® of your magic bullet ® requires room to operate effectively.
- Exceeding the MAX line can result in leakage and may create a dangerous pressurization which can cause the vessel and blade assembly to separate.
- Periodically inspect your Magic Bullet ® components for damage or wear that may impair proper function.
- Discontinue use and replace components if you detect cracking, crazing or cloudiness, or other damage to the plastic cups, tabs (on the side of the cup), or the motor base.
- You may purchase new cups and cross blades at getmagicbullet.com or by contacting the Customer Service.
- We recommend replacing your cross-blade and cups every 6 months or as needed for optimal performance.

specifications, plug types or with any type of plug adapter or voltage
converter device.
- Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury or product damage.
- Use of adapters and converters or use in locations with different electrical specifications or plug types are considered an unauthorized modification of the product and as such voids the warranty.
- 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 warranty.
- To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the cord, plug, or motor base in water or other liquids which can conduct an electrical current.
