Important Safeguards
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
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.
•Appliances can be used by
persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and

2
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.
•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

3
cause the cup to burst,
which may result in possible
personal injury or property
damage.
•Never blend carbonated
liquids or eervescing
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.
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 cup
to cool completely. To open,
point the cup away from your
body and slowly untwist the
lid.
•After blending ingredients,
allow the contents to settle
and release any pressure that
may have built up during the
extraction 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.

4
•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
o the unit when it overheats.
Letting the thermal breaker
cool down will allow the
motor base to reset.
•Do not allow blended
mixtures to sit in a sealed
cup for long periods of
time! 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.
•Caution must be observed if
hot liquid is poured into the
blender as it can be ejected
out of the appliance due to
sudden steaming.
CROSS BLADE SAFETY
Cross blades are sharp!
Handle carefully.
Use care while handling the
cross blades. Do not touch
the cross blade edges to
avoid injury.
WARNING!

5
Caution must be observed
when emptying vessels and
during cleaning.
AVOID CONTACT WITH
MOVING PARTS! To reduce
the risk of severe personal
injury, keep hands and utensils
out of and away from the
cross blade while blending
food. To reduce 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 the
motor base. Contact customer
service for assistance if any
component is damaged or
WARNING!

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 o the unit
prior to 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 blades or cause
the unit to malfunction,
resulting in personal injury or
property damage.
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 eectively. Exceeding
the MAX line can result in

7
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 by
contacting customer service.
We recommend replacing
your cross blade and cups
every 6 months or as needed
for optimal performance.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Do not use this product
in locations with dierent
electrical specifications, or
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 dierent

using a utensil (not your fingers) to release
the blockage. Reattach the cross blade to
the cup, plug in the Magic Bullet®and try
again. It should spin normally.
NEVER RUN THE MAGIC BULLET
FOR MORE THAN ONE MINUTE AT A
TIME, AS IT CAN CAUSE PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR If the motor
stops working, unplug the motor base
and let it cool for a few hours before
attempting to use it again. Your Magic
Bullet®has an internal thermal breaker
that shuts the unit o when it overheats.
Letting the thermal breaker cool down
should allow it to reset.
