always be observed, including the following:
• Caution! To avoid risk of electric shock, never immerse the power
cord, plug, or power base of blender in water or other liquids.
• THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS, INCLUDING CANNING JARS, NOT
RECOMMENDED OR SOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER MAY
CAUSE FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY AND VOID THE
WARRANTY.
• This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The
attachment plug or entire cord set is not suitable for replacement. If

N12S_0901_UG Bluetooth update v5.indd 2 1/10/19 6:44 AM

• DO NOT USE THE NUTRIBULLET BALANCE WITH ANY TYPE
OF ADAPTOR OR VOLTAGE CONVERTER DEVICE. IT IS
MANUFACTURED IN COMPLIANCE WITH US AND CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL STANDARDS AND PLUG TYPES.
• USE OF ADAPTERS AND CONVERTERS IS CONSIDERED
AN UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION OF THE NUTRIBULLET
BALANCE AND AS SUCH WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. USE
OF THE NUTRIBULLET BALANCE IN AREAS WITH DIFFERENT
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO IT.
• UNPLUG THE NUTRIBULLET BALANCE WHEN IT IS NOT IN
USE. MAKE SURE THE POWER BASE IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE
ASSEMBLING, DISASSEMBLING, ADDING ADDITIONAL PARTS,
OR CLEANING.
• Do not pull, twist, or damage the power cord.
• Do not allow the power cord to hang over the side of the counter
or table.
N12S_0901_UG Bluetooth update v5.indd 3 1/10/19 6:44 AM

• Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces, including stove.
• Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for signs of damage.
Never operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug.
If the NutriBullet Balance malfunctions or is dropped, or damaged
in any manner, discontinue use and contact Customer Service for
further assistance.
• At all times, avoid contact with moving parts.
• Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while
chopping or blending food to reduce the risk of severe personal
injury or damage to the device. A scraper may be used, but only
when the blender/food chopper is not running and the NutriBullet
Balance is unplugged.
• NEVER LEAVE THE NUTRIBULLET BALANCE UNATTENDED
WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• CLOSE SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY WHEN USED BY OR NEAR
CHILDREN.
• TO PREVENT OVERHEATING, NEVER ALLOW THE MOTOR
N12S_0901_UG Bluetooth update v5.indd 4 1/10/19 6:44 AM

TO RUN FOR MORE THAN ONE MINUTE AT A TIME, AS IT
CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR. IF THE
MOTOR STOPS WORKING, UNPLUG THE POWER BASE AND
LET IT COOL FOR AN HOUR BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE
IT AGAIN. YOUR NUTRIBULLET BALANCE HAS AN INTERNAL
THERMAL BREAKER THAT SHUTS OFF THE UNIT WHEN IT
OVERHEATS. THE POWER BASE WILL RESET WHEN THE UNIT
IS UNPLUGGED AND THE THERMAL BREAKER COOLS DOWN.
• To reduce the risk of injury and leakage, make sure the blade base
is securely screwed onto the cup before placing it on the Power
Base and operating the NutriBullet Balance.
• Do not use NutriBullet Balance outdoors. Do not allow the
NutriBullet Balance to be exposed to inclement weather elements
such as rain or other wet conditions.
• NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS OR UTENSILS NEAR THE MOVING
BLADE and never use your hands or utensils to press the activator
buttons down while the NutriBullet Balance is plugged in.

• BLADES ARE SHARP. USE CARE WHILE HANDLING THE
BLADES AND DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE EDGES TO AVOID
INJURY.
• NEVER INSERT THE BLADE INTO THE POWER BASE WITHOUT
FIRST ATTACHING THE CUP.
• WE RECOMMEND REPLACING YOUR EXTRACTOR
BLADE EVERY 6 MONTHS OR AS NEEDED FOR OPTIMAL
PERFORMANCE. TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT BLADE, SIMPLY
VISIT: WWW.NUTRILIVING.COM
• PERIODICALLY INSPECT ALL NUTRIBULLET BALANCE
COMPONENTS FOR DAMAGE OR WEAR THAT MAY IMPAIR
PROPER FUNCTION. DISCONTINUE USE AND REPLACE CUPS
IF YOU DETECT CRACKING, CRAZING, OR CLOUDINESS OR
DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC OR ANY ACTUATOR.
• Check gasket to make sure it is completely seated in the cross
blade before each use.

• The NutriBullet Balance is not intended for use in microwave
ovens. Do not place the NutriBullet Balance cups, power base or
any accessories in a microwave as this may result in damage to its
various parts.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the device, keep
hands and utensils away from the cutting blade.
• Never blend carbonated beverages. Built-up pressure from
released gases can cause the sealed cup to burst, resulting in
possible injury.
• To prevent leakage when creating a recipe, ALWAYS make sure
that the ingredients do not extend above the MAX line.
• DO NOT PUT HOT LIQUIDS OR INGREDIENTS IN ANY
BLENDING VESSEL BEFORE BLENDING. START WITH COOL OR
ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS. HEATED INGREDIENTS
CAN CREATE INTERNAL PRESSURE IN A SEALED BLENDING
VESSEL, WHICH MAY ERUPT ON OPENING AND CAUSE
THERMAL INJURY.
N12S_0901_UG Bluetooth update v5.indd 7 1/10/19 6:44 AM

• CAUTION! Friction from the rotating blade can cause ingredients
to heat and generate internal pressure in the sealed vessel. Do
not continuously operate for more than one minute. If the vessel
is warm to touch, allow it to cool before carefully opening it
pointed away from your body.
• Extract for no longer than 1 minute. If more extraction is needed,
wait 1 minute, then repeat the extraction process in 1 minute
intervals up to three times as needed to achieve the desired
consistency. If more than three 1-minute extractions are needed,
allow the Power Base to cool for 2-3 minutes after the third
extraction before beginning the next round.
• Never permit any blended mixture to sit inside a sealed vessel
without first releasing internal pressure.
• Do not allow blended mixtures to sit for long periods of time in
a sealed container. The sugars in the fruit and vegetables can
ferment, creating gas and causing pressure to build up and
expand in the vessel which can cause ingredients to burst and
spray out when moved or opened.

• Never use the NutriBullet Balance to blend ingredients without
adding liquid in as doing so may damage the blade.
• The cyclonic action of your NutriBullet Balance requires the use
of liquids to make NutriBlasts and other nutritious beverages. The
NutriBullet Balance is not intended to be used as an ice crusher,
and not without liquids. To make a delicious cold NutriBlast, we
suggest that you use frozen fruit and chilled liquids. Alternatively,
you may add crushed ice, up to 25% of the total cup volume, with
water or other liquid filled up to the “MAX” line. Do not crush ice or
other hard items without liquid, as such prolonged use over time
may dull or damage the blades. Always inspect your blades before
each use.
• To stop the motor, twist the cup to release it from the lock mode,
and at the same time, press the cup/blade assembly down and wait
for the motor to power down completely.
• Never remove the cup and blade assembly from the power base
until the motor comes to a complete stop. Removing the cup/
blade assembly while the power base is still running may cause

WARNING: VENTILATION CAUTION
• Always operate the NutriBullet Balance on a level surface,
leaving unobstructed space beneath and around the power
base to permit proper air circulation. Slots and openings on the
bottom of the NutriBullet Balance are provided for ventilation
to ensure reliable motor operation and to prevent over-heating.
WARNING!
•To prevent fire hazard, power base openings should be free of
dust or lint and never obstructed with flammable materials such
as newspapers, tablecloths, napkins, dish towels, or place mats.
damage to the blade coupling or motor gear.
• The Smart Nutrition Sensor includes a delicately calibrated
scale. Handle with care. If it is dropped or jarred, it may impact
the calibration causing it not to connect or detect the placement
of the cup. If this occurs, please contact customer server for
assistance.
