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

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Keep cord out of reach of children. This appliance is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it.
Do not use outdoors.
NEVER LEAVE THE NUTRIBULLET® UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS IN USE.
ALWAYS TURN THE NUTRIBULLET® OFF WHEN NOT IN USE.

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.

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 off your machine and allow the vessel to cool for fifteen minutes or more. Allow the 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 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 off 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 it to another storage container before refrigerating. Never store any blended mixture in a sealed cup, unrefrigerated, or for any prolonged period of time; the contents will spoil and ferment, producing gases that might cause eruption.

Never blend carbonated liquids or effervescing 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. 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 the ingredients are integrated, increase the 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 off the machine and allow the vessel to cool completely before carefully opening it, 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.

After blending, turn the power button off. Wait to remove the nutribullet® cup/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 off the unit prior to completely powering down can cause damage to the easy-twist extractor blade coupling or motor gear.

Never use the nutribullet® Blender Combo without adding liquid, as doing so may damage the blades.

The cyclonic action of your nutribullet® Blender Combo requires the use of liquids to make smoothies and other nutritious items. The nutribullet® Blender Combo is not intended to be 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 coffee, 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

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 the 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 Combo. 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/or 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.

CAUTION

Do not remove the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade from the nutribullet® Cup until blending has completely ceased. Do not use the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade as a storage lid for your Cup. Some foods may contain active ingredients or release gases that will expand if left in a sealed container, resulting in excessive pressure buildup that can pose a risk of injury. When storing contents in the Cup, use plastic wrap or foil to seal your container. Always point contents away from your body when unsealing.

Care & maintenance

Cleaning the nutribullet® is easy. The Pitcher is dishwasher-safe, while the Cups and To-Go Lids are TOP RACK dishwasher-safe. The Easy-Twist Extractor Blade and Motor Base can be quickly hand-washed with soap and water. Read on for best practices.

Here’s how to clean the nutribullet®:

STEP 1:

The most important thing — ALWAYS POWER OFF THE UNIT and UNPLUG the Motor Base from the power outlet when it is not in use. Do not attempt to handle the appliance until all parts have stopped moving! This includes during assembly and disassembly, while changing accessories during cleaning, and any time you leave the machine unattended.

STEP 2:

Detach the nutribullet® Cup / Easy-Twist Extractor Blade or Pitcher from the Motor Base.

STEP 3:

Clean the individual components (Motor Base, Easy-Twist Extractor Blade, nutribullet® Cups).

MOTOR BASE:

To avoid the risk of injury, NEVER attempt to clean the actuator system on the Motor Base while the nutribullet® Blender Combo is plugged in.
Do not attempt to remove any pieces from the Motor Base.
Use a sponge or dish cloth dampened with warm soapy water to wipe down the Motor Base until clean.
If necessary, you may use a small brush to scrub the actuator system area to ensure it’s clean.
To clean leakage residue from the Motor Base, wipe with a damp sponge and warm water.

WARNING: Never submerge the Motor Base in water.

EASY-TWIST EXTRACTOR BLADE:

Blades are sharp! Handle the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade with care when cleaning! It is best to clean blades immediately after use to reduce buildup of residue. If food particles get stuck, use a small brush or sponge to target and dislodge them.
Do not remove any components of the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade; this can result in permanent damage to the blade, resulting in leakage when blending. If, over time, the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade becomes loose or damaged, you may order a new Easy-Twist Extractor Blade by contacting customer service at 1 (800) 523-5993.
Dry the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade completely after every use.
Regularly check the condition of the bottom of the blade for cracking or breakage. If damaged, replace the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade immediately to prevent possible personal injury.

NUTRIBULLET® CUPS & TO-GO LIDS:

These items are TOP RACK dishwasher-safe. We recommend rinsing and briefly scrubbing them with a dish brush to remove any remaining debris before placing in the dishwasher. NEVER use the sanitize cycle to wash the cups — heat this high can warp the plastic.
