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.

•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.
BLENDING WITH
nutribullet
®
CUPS:
To avoid personal
injury, never blend hot
ingredients or liquid in
any sealed nutribullet®
cup!
Heated ingredients
can pressurize sealed
containers when
agitated and cause cup
and blade separation
or violently expel hot
contents upon opening.
Always start the
blending process with
room temperature or
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. Friction from
prolonged operation
can heat ingredients
and generate internal
pressure in the sealed
container. This pressure
can cause the cup and
blade to separate or
blended 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 o 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 easy-twist extractor
blade
to gently release any
residual pressure.
If you need to blend for
longer than one minute,
blend for 1-minute
intervals. After each
1-minute interval, allow
the motor base to shut o
completely and wait at
least one minute before
starting the next 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
blending cycle to prevent
WARNING!
WARNING!

overheating and buildup
of pressure.
Sugar in fruits and
vegetables can ferment
over time, releasing
gases that cause
pressure to build up in
a sealed nutribullet®
cup. Do not store
any smoothies or
blended mixtures in
vessels sealed with the
easy-twist extractor
blade. If you will not
consume your smoothie
immediately, remove
the easy-twist extractor
blade and cover your
nutribullet®cup with
plastic wrap before
refrigerating. If your
smoothie or blended
mixture was made in
the pitcher, transfer
to another storage
container before
refrigerating. Never
store any blended
mixture in a sealed cup
unrefrigerated, or for
any prolonged period of
time; contents will spoil
and ferment, producing
gases that might cause
eruption.
Never blend carbonated
liquids or eervescing
ingredients (e.g., baking
soda, baking powder,
yeast, etc.). Pressure
from released gases can
cause a sealed blending
container to burst,
resulting in possible
injury and/or property
damage.
BLENDING WITH THE
PITCHER:
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 and/or
property damage.
Steam and splattering
ingredients can escape
through the pitcher lid,
potentially scalding and/
or burning the user.
NEVER blend hot liquids
in your pitcher without
the pitcher lid and
vented lid cap locked
and attached.The vented
lid cap allows steam
and pressure to escape,
while guarding against
excess splashing. NEVER
blend hot liquids in your
nutribullet®cups or any
other sealed vessel.
WARNING!
WARNING! WARNING!

5
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, increase
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 o the
machine and allow the
vessel to cool completely
before carefully opening,
pointed away from your
body to avoid injury.
BLADE SAFETY
Never store any
easy-twist extractor
blade in the motor
base unattached to
a nutribullet®cup. An
exposed blade can
present a laceration
hazard.
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
blades while blending
food to reduce the risk of
severe personal injury.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE,
never place the easy-
twist extractor blade
on the motor base
without the cup properly
attached. Make sure
the easy-twist extractor
blade is securely twisted
(hand-tightened) onto
the nutribullet®cup
before placing it on
the motor base and
operating the nutribullet®
Blender Combo. Check
to make sure the easy-
twist extractor blade is
aligned properly before
placing it on the motor
base and operating
your nutribullet®Blender
Combo.
