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. Always hold the S-blade
by its upper plastic part.
AVOID CONTACT WITH
MOVING PARTS! Keep hands
and utensils out of and
away from the attachments
(especially the blade or
whisk) while blending food
to reduce the risk of severe
personal injury.
• Keep hands, hair, clothing,
as well as spatulas and other
utensils away from attachments
during operation to reduce
the risk of injury to persons or
damage to the product.
• To prevent possible
separation of components
during operation, you must
properly align, securely
attach (hand tighten), and
fully lock attachments to the
motor body, and check for
separation before operating
your NutriBullet®.
WARNING!

• Once you are done using your
NutriBullet®, wait until the
motor comes to a complete
stop and the unit powers down
completely before removing
the attachments from the
motor body.
• Always make sure that your
NutriBullet®is unplugged
before you attempt to remove
or attach the blending arm.
Never blend using the
blending arm without
at least some liquid, as
doing so may damage
the blade or motor.
• In most cases, your
NutriBullet®requires the use
of liquids to blend or whisk
ingredients properly. Avoid
blending food without at least
one liquid ingredient.
• DO NOT USE the blending arm,
for grinding dry ingredients
such as grains, cereal, or
coee, as this may damage the
motor, the blade, or the whisk.
• After you have finished
blending, always turn-o your
blender and wait until the
motor comes to the complete
stop before removing the
blending arm from the
mixture, especially if the
mixture is hot so as to avoid
thermal injuries.
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.
This appliance has important
markings on the plug blade.
The cord is not suitable for
replacement. If damaged the
appliance shall be replaced.
POLARIZED PLUG
INFORMATION:
• Your NutriBullet®has a
polarized plug (one prong
is wider than the other) to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
This plug will correctly fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. For your safety, do
not modify the plug or motor
body in any way. Doing so will
increase risk of injury and void
the product’s warranty.
• The use of third-party
attachments, including
canning jars, is forbidden
and may cause fire, electric
shock, personal injury, or
product damage and will
void the warranty.
• To avoid risk of electric
shock, never immerse the
cord, plug, or motor body
of blender in water or other

damage the power cord. Do
not allow cord to touch hot
surfaces, including the stove.
• If the motor stops working
and feels hot, unplug the
appliance and let it cool for
an hour before attempting to
use it again. Your NutriBullet®
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.
VENTILATION
Never place your NutriBullet®
on top of flammable materials
such as newspapers,
tablecloths, napkins, dish
towels, place mats, or other
similar types of materials.
MICROWAVE & STOVE
TOP HEATING SAFETY
• Do not place any NutriBullet®
parts in the microwave or
oven. Only the Blending
Arm attachment or Whisk
attachment may be immersed
in liquid or used on the stove
top, but always keep the
motor body dry.
• Avoid blending the following
seeds and pits with the
NutriBullet®, as they contain
a chemical known to release
cyanide into the body when
ingested: apple seeds, cherry
pits, plum pits, peach pits, and
apricot pits. Fruit pits may also
cause damage to the blade
and other attachment parts.
MEDICAL SAFETY

Usage instructions.
1Prepare foods for blending;
make sure only blendable
foods are used.
• Remove any hard seeds,
pits, and skin – for
example, peel, pits, and
rind should be removed
from oranges, lemons,
grapefruits, and melons.
• Cut foods into smaller
pieces if needed.
• Do not attempt to process
overly thick or hard foods
(since these may damage
the motor or blade).
• Do not blend hard fruits or
vegetables without liquid.
2Place mixing vessel (cup,
cooking pot, or mixing
bowl) on flat, dry surface.
Make sure your selected
attachment is tightly
fastened to the bottom of
the motor body and locked
in place. (See Assembly
section.). The blender is now
ready to operate.

and/or liquid into your cup
or mixing bowl, without
forcing items in and
without overfilling.
CAUTION: Do not blend or whisk,
too much food or liquid at one time.

4Carefully submerge the
blending arm or whisk
into the mixing vessel with
ingredients that you wish to

beating egg whites, and mixing “ready-mix” desserts. Items to whisk
should be moist, with one or more liquid ingredients.
1Place mixing vessel on flat,
dry surface. Make sure your
selected attachment is tightly
fastened to the bottom of
the motor body and locked
in place. (See Assembly
section.). The blender is now

parts have stopped before
disassembling the blender.
. 2Remove the blender from
your mixing cup or bowl.

the blending arm or whisk
attachment.

parts, if needed (Whisk–
Whisk holder). The
blending arm attachment
is one single part.
19

PROPER PRODUCE PREP
Prepare food items such as
fruits and vegetables before
inserting them into your
cup or bowl:
• Clean produce properly.
Rinse with lukewarm water,
produce wash, or water and
apple cider vinegar.
• Peel or remove skin as needed.
Foods with thick or hard skin
must be peeled before being
put into the blender.
• Remove rind from all citrus
fruits before blending.
• Remove large pits and seeds
from stone fruit before
blending. Stone fruit may be
used only if the seeds or pits
have been removed. Fruit with
hard cores must be pitted. The
cores of peach, plum, mango,
apricot, and jujube should not
be processed, to avoid any
potential malfunction.
• Pre-chop larger food items
down to the right size – small
enough to fit easily into your
bowl or cup, without having to
force pieces in.
• Longer or thicker foods with
less moisture and hard fiber
should be cut into slices.
• Leafy vegetables and foods
with long, hard fiber (such
as celery, wild celery herb,
collard): Cut the stems into
slices 3-5 cm long.
Blending tips.
BLADE SAFETY
• Never put your palms, fingers,
utensils, or foreign objects on
or near blender attachments
while attached to the blender
(especially during blending).
CAUTION: blades in the blending arm
are very sharp! Avoid touching them.
• Do not overload your cup,
mixing bowl with food or thick
mixtures, as this may cause
the blade to stop functioning
properly (rotating motion may
be impeded).
CHANGING
BLENDING SPEED
This Immersion Blender features
two main speed settings (Low
and High), and a variable
speed dial.
Always start on Low-speed when
blending to prevent suction
of the blade to the bottom
of the blending vessel. Once
ingredients are broken down,
switch to High-speed if desired.
When using the Low button,
turn speed dial to the right to
increase blending speed.
