FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING.

General safety information:

• Children shall not use this appliance. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Appliances can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and if they understand the hazards involved.
• NEVER LEAVE THE MAGIC BULLET® UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• Please do not use your Magic Bullet® for anything other than its intended use.

Heat & pressure safety:

DO NOT BLEND HOT OR CARBONATED INGREDIENTS!

• Never put hot or carbonated ingredients in any of the cups before or while blending. Heated ingredients can cause pressure to build up in the sealed cup, causing possible expulsion of hot ingredients, which may cause personal injury or property damage. Start with room temperature or cooler ingredients (21°C/70°F or cooler).
• To prevent overheating and pressure buildup, never allow the Magic Bullet® to run more than one minute at a time. Ingredients can overheat, building pressure inside the cup that may cause the cup to burst, which may result in possible personal injury or property damage.
• Never blend carbonated liquids or effervescing ingredients (e.g., baking soda, baking powder, yeast, cake batter, etc.). Built-up pressure from released gases can cause the cup to burst, resulting in possible personal injury or property damage.

Warning: If the machine is left to run for longer than a minute, friction from the rotating extractor blades can heat ingredients and build pressure inside the sealed cup. If your cup is warm to the touch, stop the machine immediately and allow the cup to cool completely. To open, point the cup away from your body and slowly untwist the blade.

• After blending ingredients, allow the contents to settle and release any pressure that may have built up during the blending process by slowly unscrewing the cup from the blade assembly. Point the cup away from you as you open it, in case there is any built-up pressure.
• If the motor stops working, unplug the motor base and let it cool down for at least 15 minutes before attempting to use it again. Your Magic Bullet® has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the unit when it overheats. Letting the thermal breaker cool down should allow the motor base to reset.
• Do not allow blended mixtures to sit in a sealed cup for long periods of time! Sugar in fruits and vegetables can ferment, causing pressure to build up and expand in the cup. This can cause ingredients to burst and spray out when moved or opened. If you do not plan to consume the contents immediately, seal your cup with the Magic Bullet® Stay Fresh resealable lid. Periodically unscrew the lid to release internal pressure if storing longer than a few hours.

Cross-blade safety:

CROSS BLADES ARE SHARP! HANDLE CAREFULLY.

Warning: Use care while handling the cross blade.

Do not touch the cross blade edges to avoid injury.

AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS! To reduce the risk of severe personal injury, keep hands and utensils out of and away from the cross blade while blending food.

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, make sure the cross blade is securely hand-tightened onto the cup before placing it on the motor base and operating the Magic Bullet®.

NEVER STORE THE CROSS BLADE IN THE MOTOR BASE WITHOUT A CUP ATTACHED. THE EXPOSED BLADES CAN PRESENT A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARD.

• To prevent leakage and/or property damage, always make sure your cross blade is undamaged and the gasket is completely seated in the cross blade before each use. Leakage may cause residue buildup and damage the motor base. Contact Customer Service by visiting nutribullet.co.uk for assistance if any component is damaged or loose, or if you have any questions.
• Once you have finished using your Magic Bullet®, wait to remove the cup/cross blade assembly from the motor base until the motor comes to a complete stop and the unit powers down completely. Taking the cup off the unit prior to complete power down can cause damage to the cross blade coupling and/or motor gear.

NEVER RUN THE MAGIC BULLET® WITHOUT FOOD OR LIQUID INGREDIENTS IN ANY OF THE CUPS.

• Your magic bullet® is not intended to be an ice crusher. Attempting to crush ice may cause permanent damage to the cross blade or cause the unit to malfunction, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
• Keep hands out of the cup while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to your Magic Bullet®. A scraper or spatula may be used, but it must be used only when the blender is not running.

Cup safety:

• To avoid leakage, do not overfill the cup! Make sure your ingredients and liquid do not exceed the MAX line. The Cyclonic Action® of your Magic Bullet® requires room to operate effectively. Exceeding the MAX line can result in leakage and may create a dangerous pressurization, which can cause the vessel and blade assembly to separate.
• Periodically inspect your Magic Bullet® components for damage or wear that may impair proper function. Discontinue use and replace components if you detect cracking, crazing, or cloudiness, or other damage to the plastic cups, tabs (on the side of the cup), or the motor base. You may purchase new cups and cross blades at nutribullet.co.uk or by contacting Customer Service. We recommend replacing your cross blade and cups every 6 months or as needed for optimal performance.

Electrical safety:

Warning: Do not use this product in locations with different electrical specifications, or plug types, or with any type of plug adapter or voltage converter device. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or product damage. Use of adapters and converters, or use in locations with different electrical specifications or plug types, is considered an unauthorized modification of the product and will therefore void the warranty.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• 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 warranty.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the cord, plug, or motor base in water or other liquids that can conduct an electrical current.
• Always POWER OFF and UNPLUG the Magic Bullet® when it is not in use, and BEFORE assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or cleaning.
• Periodically inspect the cord, plug, and machine for damage. Do not operate the Magic Bullet® if its cord or plug is damaged. Cease operation of the magic bullet® if it has been dropped or damaged, or if it malfunctions in any manner (including making a louder-than-normal or abnormal sound when blending).

Caution! In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

• Do not use the Magic Bullet® outdoors or in inclement weather.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the table or counter.
• Do not pull, twist, or damage the power cord.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

Ventilation safety:

• The motor base features ventilated openings on the bottom to ensure reliable motor operation and prevent overheating. To prevent a fire hazard, make sure that these openings remain unobstructed by dust, lint, or other materials. Never place your Magic Bullet® on top of flammable items such as newspapers, tablecloths, napkins, dish towels, place mats, or other similar materials.

Caution! Always operate the Magic Bullet® on a level surface, leaving unobstructed space beneath and around the motor base to permit proper air circulation.

Important microwave safeguards:

• Do not place any of the magic bullet® parts in a microwave, oven or stove-top pot or immerse in boiling water, as this may result in damage.

Medical safety:

• The information contained in this User Guide is not meant to replace the advice of your physician. Always consult your physician regarding health and nutrition concerns.

MEDICATION INTERACTIONS:

• If you are taking any medication, especially cholesterol medication, blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, tranquilizers, or antidepressants, please check with your physician before trying any of the recipes.
• Avoid blending the following seeds and pits, 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.

Using the magic bullet®.

Using the magic bullet® is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. Before first use, review all warning and caution statements in the Important Safeguards section. Clean Blending Cups and Cross Blade with hot, soapy water before use.
2. Load the ingredients into the Cup (do not exceed the MAX line).
3. Twist the Cross Blade until the blade and Cup are tightly sealed.
4. Line up the tabs on the Cup with the tabs on the Motor Base. Press the Cup down onto the base to turn on the machine.

Here’s how it works: The magic bullet® will blend for as long as you press the Cup down onto the Motor Base. To stop blending, simply release pressure on the Cup.

“Lock-on” mode:

For hands-free operation, press down and gently turn the Cup clockwise until the tabs lock under the lip of the Motor Base. Once you are in lock-on mode, the motor will run continually (do not run for longer than a minute!). To stop blending, simply twist the Cup counter-clockwise to release.

Caution:

Before using the Cross Blade, check the gasket to make sure it is not damaged and is completely seated in the Cross Blade Unit before each use.

Never put your hands or utensils near the moving Cross Blade, and never use your hands or utensils to press the activator buttons down while the Motor Base is plugged in.

If the Cross Blade stops spinning while in lock-on mode, immediately unplug the Magic Bullet®. Hard ingredients like carrots or celery can get stuck in the Cross Blade and stop it from turning. If this happens, unplug the Magic Bullet® right away. Remove the blade/cup assembly from the Motor Base, and give the ingredients a good shake to unblock the Cross Blade. If the Cross Blade still remains obstructed, twist the Cross Blade attachment off of the Cup and carefully spin the metal blades using a utensil (not your fingers) to release the blockage. Reattach the Cross Blade to the Cup, plug in the Magic Bullet®, and try again. It should spin normally.

Never run the Magic Bullet® for more than one minute at a time, as it can cause permanent damage to the motor. If the motor stops working, unplug the Motor Base and let it cool for a few hours before attempting to use it again. Your Magic Bullet® has an internal thermal breaker that shuts the unit off when it overheats. Letting the thermal breaker cool down should allow it to reset.

Care & maintenance.

Cleaning the Magic Bullet® is easy. Simply place any of the parts (except for the Motor Base and Cross Blade) on the top rack of the dishwasher or hand wash with warm, soapy water and rinse.

Step 1: Always power off and unplug the Motor Base from the outlet when it is left unattended, before assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or approaching parts that move in use, or when cleaning. Do not attempt to handle the appliance until all parts have stopped moving!

Step 2: Make sure the Blending Cup/Cross Blade is not attached to the Motor Base.

Step 3: Clean the individual components (Motor Base, Cross Blade, Magic Bullet® Blending Cups).

Motor base:

• To avoid the risk of injury, never use your hands or utensils to clean the White Actuator Tabs while the Magic Bullet® is plugged in.
• Never submerge the Motor Base in water or put it in the dishwasher.
• Do not remove the rubber or plastic liners inside the Motor Base.
• Use a sponge or dish cloth dampened with warm, soapy water to wipe down the inside and outside of the Motor Base until clean.
• Pay particular attention to the actuator tabs on the inside of the Motor Base to loosen any stuck or sticky debris from drips and spills. If necessary, you may use a small brush to scrub the area to ensure it is kept clean.

Cross blade:

DO NOT REMOVE THE GASKET AS THIS MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE CROSS BLADE AND CAUSE LEAKAGE.

• If, after washing as indicated, additional disinfecting is desired, you may rinse with a 10% vinegar/water solution. If, over time, the gasket becomes loose or damaged, you may order a new Cross Blade at nutribullet.co.uk or contact Customer Service for a replacement Cross Blade.
• Dry the Cross Blade completely. It is helpful to turn the blade on its side in your dish drainer to ensure both sides of the Cross Blade are completely dried.
• We recommend replacing your Magic Bullet® Cross Blade every 6 months or as needed for optimal performance. To order replacement Cross Blades, simply visit: nutribullet.co.uk.

Blending cups (cups, lids, and lip rings):

• These items are all Top Rack dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing them and giving them a quick brush with a dish brush to remove any dried debris before washing them in the dishwasher. Never use the sanitize cycle to wash the blending cups, as this may warp the plastic.
• Regularly check the tabs (3) on the sides of the Cups for damage (cracking, crazing, breakage, or rounding). If the tabs are damaged, discontinue use and replace them immediately to prevent possible personal injury.

Storing leftovers in the Magic Bullet® cups

The magic bullet® includes Stay Fresh Resealable Lids that twist directly onto your magic bullet® Cups, allowing you to prep food ahead of time, keep leftovers fresh, or take your meal on the go without dirtying an extra storage container.
