Important safeguards.
Warning! To avoid the risk of serious injury, carefully read all
instructions before operating your NutriBullet®. When using any
electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be
observed, including the following important information.
Save these instructions!
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
HEAT & PRESSURE
SAFETY
• Always use extreme care and
attention when blending hot
liquids or hot ingredients. The
release of thermal energy
from the ingredients and
friction from the rotating
blades (during the blending
process) can further heat
and pressurize the mixture.
Only operate with vented lid
securely attached.
• Allow to cool before
assembling or disassembling
parts and before cleaning
the appliance.
BLENDING WITH
NUTRIBULLET®CUPS:
To avoid personal injury,
never blend hot or
carbonated ingredients
or liquid in any sealed
NutriBullet®cup! Only use
the Pitcher with the vented
lid when blending hot or
warm ingredients.
!

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).
When using the sealed
cup, only blend for one
minute or less. 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 leaving the
cup attached to the base
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 build-up 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 or
ingredients 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 or ingredients
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 or carbonated
ingredients or 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
by selecting the desired
program or if you are using
manual speeds, start blending
on the LOW setting. Once
ingredients are integrated,
adjust speed as needed.
When using the pitcher with
vented lid to blend hot liquids
or ingredients longer than one
minute, always use caution
when opening the pitcher lid.
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.
