before assembling,
disassembling or
cleaning.
• Switch o the appliance
and disconnect
from supply before
changing accessories or
approaching parts that
move in use.
• Appliances can be used
by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or
lack of experience and
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.
• Do not use this appliance
for anything but its

intended use. Misuse
may result in personal
injury.
HEAT & PRESSURE 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.
• Be careful if hot liquid is
poured into the blender
as it can be ejected out
of the appliance due to
sudden steaming.
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 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 attached
and locked.The vented
lid cap allows steam and
pressure to escape, while
guarding against excess
splashing.
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 adjust
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

machine and allow the
vessel to cool completely
before carefully opening,
pointed away from your
body to avoid injury.
BLADE SAFETY
Blades are sharp!
Handle carefully. Use
care when handling
any blade. To avoid
laceration injury, do
not handle or touch
any blade edge.
Caution must be
observed when
emptying vessels and
during cleaning.
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.
• After blending, turn
the unit o. Wait to
remove the pitcher
from the motor base
until the blades come
to a full stop and the
unit powers down
completely. Taking
the vessel o the unit
prior to complete
power down can cause
damage to the blade
coupling or motor gear.
Never use the nutribullet®
Blender without adding
liquid, as doing so may
damage the blades.
• The cyclonic action®
of your nutribullet®
Blender requires the
use of liquids to make
smoothies and other
nutritious items. The
nutribullet®Blender is
not intended to be used
without liquids, or as
an ice crusher. ALWAYS
ADD LIQUID to your
recipe.
• DO NOT USE the
nutribullet®Blender for
grinding dry ingredients
such as grains, cereal,
or coee, as this may
damage the motor
and blade.
PITCHER SAFETY
• Always operate the
pitcher with the pitcher
lid securely in place.
• With recipes that require
certain ingredients to
be incorporated during
blending, first add the

base ingredients, seal the
pitcher lid with vented
lid cap attached, and
begin blending. Then,
once the ingredients are
well mixed, twist open
the vented lid cap and
carefully pour or drop
ingredients into the
mixture.
• If you need to push
ingredients closer to the
blade, ONLY USE THE
TAMPER PROVIDED with
the nutribullet®Blender
configuration. DO NOT
use any apparatus other
than the tamper to push
ingredients toward the
blade. The tamper is
specifically designed
not to come in contact
with the blade. Spatulas,
spoons and other tools
can make contact with
the blade, which may
result in damage to the
machine, damage to
property, and possible
injury.
• NEVER USE YOUR
FINGERS OR ANY PART
OF YOUR HAND TO
PUSH INGREDIENTS
DOWN TOWARD THE
BLADE. Only use the
provided tamper.
Remember to use extra
caution when blending
hot liquids or ingredients
in the pitcher.
• Spray or escaping
steam may cause
burns and/or
property damage.
Do not fill container
above the maximum
capacity lines indicated
for liquids and
solid ingredients.
Always begin blending
hot ingredients on the
LOW setting.
Keep hands and other
exposed skin away from
lid opening to prevent
possible burns.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Do not use this product
in locations with
dierent 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.

• 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 product’s warranty.
• To avoid the risk of
electric shock, never
immerse the cord,
plug, or motor base
of the nutribullet® in
water or other liquids.
Discontinue use if the
cord, plug, or motor
base is damaged.
• Always POWER OFF
and UNPLUG the
nutribullet®Blender
when it is not in use or

allow the cord to touch
hot surfaces, including
the stove.
• If the motor stops
working, unplug the
motor base and let
it cool for at least
15 minutes before
attempting to use it
again. Your nutribullet®
Blender has an internal
thermal breaker that
shuts o the motor when
it overheats. The thermal
breaker will reset when
the unit is unplugged,
and the thermal breaker
cools down suciently.
• If the supply cord is
damaged, it must
be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly
