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.
• 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.
Blade 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
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, reactive,
or eervescing
ingredients (e.g., baking
soda, baking powder,
vinegar, cirtric acid,
yeast, etc.). Pressure
from released gases can
cause a sealed blending
container to burst or
separate, resulting in
WARNING! WARNING!

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
into the pitcher lid 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.
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.
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.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE,
make sure the easy-
twist extractor blade is
securely twisted (hand-
tightened) onto the
nutribullet®blending
vessel before placing
it on the motor base
and operating the
nutribullet® Select.
Check to make sure the
easy-twist extractor
blade is aligned
properly before placing
it on the motor base
and operating your
nutribullet®Select.
• After blending, turn the
power blending vessel/
easy-twist extractor
blade assembly from
the motor base until the
motor comes to a full
stop and the unit powers
down completely. Taking
the blending vessel o
the unit prior to complete
power down can cause
damage to the easy-
twist extractor blade
coupling or motor gear.
Never use the nutribullet®
Select without adding
liquid, as doing so may
damage the blades.
• The cyclonic action®
of your nutribullet®
Select requires the
use of liquids to make
smoothies and other
nutritious items. The

used without liquids,
or as an ice crusher.
ALWAYS ADD LIQUID
to your recipe.
• DO NOT USE the easy-
twist extractor blade for
grinding dry ingredients
such as grains, cereal,
or coee, as this may
damage the motor
and/or the easy-twist
extractor blade.
• We recommend
replacing your easy-twist
extractor blade every
6 months (depending
on use) or as needed for
optimal performance.
PITCHER SAFETY
Ensure the easy-twist
extractor blade is
securely fastened to
the pitcher base before
blending. Failure to
properly align the blade
and pitcher attachment
can cause liquid to
leak out of the base,
potentially causing the
components to separate
during blending. This
can result in damage to
the machine, damage
to property, and/or
personal injury.
• 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®
Select. DO NOT use any
utensil or 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/or possible
injury.
• NEVER USE YOUR
FINGERS OR ANY PART
OF YOUR HAND TO
