Nutribullet NB50500 Ultra Personal Blender User Manual

Nutribullet NB50500 Ultra Personal Blender

When operating your nutribullet® Ultra, remember: SAFETY COMES FIRST.

WARNING! To avoid the risk of serious injury, death, property damage, or damage to your device, carefully read all instructions before operating your nutribullet® Ultra. When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following important information. READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING. If you let anyone else use your nutribullet® Ultra, make sure that they understand the health and safety information in this User Guide, as well as any additional safety or usage instructions provided. Each person using a device should completely read the User Guide and become familiar with the safe operation of the unit.

AVOID HEATING AND OVER-PRESSURIZING THE CUP:

NEVER blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients or liquids in the nutribullet® Cup!

Such use may over-pressurize the nutribullet® Cup, causing the Cup to separate violently when removed from the Motor Base or opened, which may result in bodily injury from the hot contents or exposed blades.

• DO NOT blend hot or warm ingredients.
  • Starting with hot or warm ingredients allows more heat and pressure to build inside the Cup when blending. This may cause the Cup to separate, expelling hot contents or exposing the blade, both of which may cause injury.
  • Only blend room-temperature or refrigerated ingredients (21°C/70°F or cooler)
• DO NOT blend for more than one minute.
  • Blending causes ingredients to heat up, which builds pressure in the Cup over time. Continuous blending for more than one minute may cause the Cup to separate, exposing the blade, or expel heated contents, causing injury.
  • DO NOT run for more than 6 consecutive 30-second intervals to prevent the contents from overheating and pressurizing. Allow contents to settle at least 10 to 15 minutes after running multiple consecutive extraction cycles. DO NOT attempt to open the Cup if it feels hot or warm to the touch. See Cup Caution section for details.
• DO NOT blend anything carbonated or effervescent— no bubbles.
  • Carbonated and effervescent ingredients (e.g., soda, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, some batters, cake mix, dry ice, or other things that become bubbly) release gases that increase pressure. Pressure from released gases can cause a sealed nutribullet® Cup to burst, resulting in possible injury and/or property damage.
    Note: Some protein powders include effervescent ingredients.
    Always check the ingredients of all supplements before adding.
• DO NOT overfill.
  • Filling above the MAX line can result in leakage. The cyclonic action of the nutribullet® requires space to extract effectively. Exceeding the MAX line can result in leakage and may create a dangerous pressurization, which can cause the Cup and Rapid Extractor Blade assembly to separate.
• DO NOT leave blended foods inside a sealed Cup.
  • Blended mixtures can spoil and ferment, increasing pressure when left inside the Cup.
  • Use the To-Go Lid or transfer to another container for storage after blending.

Using your nutribullet® Ultra.

PLEASE KEEP THESE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS IN MIND WHEN USING THE NUTRIBULLET®:

Creating too much pressure in the nutribullet® Cup can result in injury from hot contents, flying components, or blade exposure.

• DO NOT blend hot or warm ingredients, carbonated liquids, or effervescent ingredients.
• Do not overfill the Cup.
• DO NOT blend ingredients for more than one minute.
• Do not store blended foods in a sealed Cup.
• See Avoid Heating and Over-Pressurizing Cup (pg. 2) for details.
• DO NOT attempt to open a sealed nutribullet® Cup if it feels hot or warm to the touch. The contents may be heated and pressurized, causing the Cup to separate when opened violently, and potentially resulting in bodily injury. See Cup Caution (pg. 3) for details.
• Blades are sharp!
  Handle with care to avoid bodily injury. NEVER store any exposed Rapid Extractor Blade in the Motor Base unattached to a nutribullet® Cup.

1. Review all warning and caution statements in the Important Safeguards section (pg. 2-10) and on the previous page before proceeding to Step 2.
2. Place the Motor Base on a clean, dry, level surface such as a counter or table.
3. Add ingredients and liquid to the nutribullet® Cup.
4. Twist the Rapid Extractor Blade onto the nutribullet® Cup until it’s tightly sealed.
   WARNING! To avoid leakage and over-pressurizing, do not overfill beyond the MAX line.
   WARNING! Rapid Extractor Blade is sharp. Handle with care.
5. Plug the Motor Base’s Power Cord into an electrical outlet.
6. Flip the Cup downward and set it onto the Motor Base.
7. Twist the Cup clockwise onto the Motor Base to lock it into place. (A “click” signals that the Cup is locked.) This will illuminate the Control Panel.
8. Pressing the Solid Circle will start an automated blending cycle. When the blending cycle is activated, it will automatically stop after 30 seconds. Pressing and holding the Dashed Circle will pulse blend your ingredients. Release the Dashed Circle to stop blending.
9. Twist the Cup counterclockwise to unlock and remove it from the Motor Base. You will hear a “click” when the Cup unlocks. Enjoy!

WARNING! NEVER blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients or liquids in the nutribullet® Cup! Such use may over-pressurize the nutribullet® Cup, causing the Cup to separate violently when removed from the Motor Base or opened, which
may result in bodily injury from the hot contents or exposed blades. NEVER apply heat or force, or attempt to pry apart the Cup from the Rapid Extractor Blade. Doing so may crack or shatter the Cup, resulting in severe bodily injury. Allow the contents of the Cup to settle down for at least 30 minutes before attempting to open it again. If still unable to open, contact Customer Service.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM:

The unit does not power on the Control Panel does not appear.

SOLUTIONS:

• Make sure the Power Cord is plugged into an electrical outlet, and that outlet has power.
• Make sure that the Cup/Blade assembly is securely attached to the Motor Base. You will hear a ‘Click’ when they are securely attached.

PROBLEM:

The Control Panel flashes continuously.

SOLUTIONS:

• You have exceeded 6 consecutive blend cycles in a 6-minute time frame, OR the unit has overheated. If this has occurred, unplug the unit and allow it to cool down for at least 15 minutes before attempting to use again.

PROBLEM:

The unit has become very loud during the blending cycle.

SOLUTIONS:

• Check that you have not exceeded the MAX fill line on the Cup when filling with ingredients. Overfilled Cups can cause strain on the motor, which will result in an increased noise level.

PROBLEM:

There is an odor coming from the Motor Base when it is in use.

SOLUTIONS:

• During the first few uses of the unit, there may be a smell emitted from the Motor Base, but this is normal with the first use of the product and should not cause alarm.
• If you notice a smell after using the product several times, check to ensure that you have not exceeded the MAX fill line on the Cup with ingredients. Overfilled Cups can cause strain on the motor, which can result in an odor.

Care & maintenance

PLEASE KEEP THESE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS IN MIND WHEN USING THE NUTRIBULLET®:

• Always power off and unplug your nutribullet® Ultra when not in use or when assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or cleaning.
• Always wait until the motor comes to a complete stop before removing the Cup or handling the unit.
• Do not place Cups and To-Go Lids in the microwave; they are not microwave safe.
• Do not store an exposed Rapid Extractor Blade on the Motor Base without attaching a Cup.
• NEVER place the Rapid Extractor Blade, Cups, or To-Go Lids on the bottom rack or use the heat/sanitize cycle of your dishwasher when cleaning. It may cause warping and possible safety hazards.
• Do not attempt to clean the Motor Base by immersing in water or other cleaning liquids. Gently wipe and dry with a clean cloth
• Do not place any parts or accessories in a microwave, conventional oven, air fryer or stovetop pot, or immerse in boiling water to clean or sanitize, as this will damage the part.
• Make sure that the Motor Base ventilation areas are unobstructed and clean.
• Periodically inspect your nutribullet® Ultra components for damage or wear that may impair proper function or present a danger or safety hazard. Never operate your nutribullet® Ultra with damaged parts or components:
  • Discontinue use if you detect cracking, cloudiness, warping, or damage to the Cups.
  • Discontinue use if the Rapid Extractor Blade does not rotate freely, or if the gasket is missing or damaged. Continued use with a damaged blade or use inconsistent with these instructions may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to your unit.
• NEVER attempt to use your nutribullet® Ultra if it malfunctions or is damaged, or is compromised in any way. Immediately contact customer service at: 1 (800) 523-5993.
• Depending on use, it is recommended that the Rapid Extractor Blade be replaced at least every 5 years.
• NEVER use after-market replacement parts for your nutribullet® Ultra. Aftermarket parts are not made to nutribullet® specifications and may damage your unit or cause serious injury. Use only genuine nutribullet® attachments/accessories specifically designed for your nutribullet® Ultra blender by calling Customer Service at: 1 (800) 523-5993.

1. Once blending is complete, make sure your nutribullet® Ultra Motor Base is powered off and unplugged from its outlet.
2. Detach the nutribullet® Cup and Rapid Extractor Blade from the Motor Base.
3. Clean the individual components as follows:
   EXTRACTOR BLADES:
   • Rinse the Rapid Extractor Blade with warm, soapy water.
   • Use a small brush or sponge dampened in soapy water to remove any residue on the Rapid Extractor Blade.
     NOTE: It’s best to clean the Rapid Extractor Blade immediately after use to avoid the buildup of residue.
     MOTOR BASE:
   • Use a sponge or dishcloth dampened with soapy water to clean the surface of the Motor Base.
   • Use a small brush to scrub the actuator system of the Motor Base.
     CUPS & TO-GO LIDS:
   • Cups and To-Go Lids are dishwasher-safe. Rinse or scrub beforehand to remove any debris.
     WARNING! NEVER place the Rapid Extractor Blade, Cups, or To-Go Lids on the bottom rack or use the heat/sanitize cycle of your dishwasher when cleaning, as this may cause warping and possible safety hazards.
     STUCK INGREDIENTS:
   • For stuck ingredients on Cups or Rapid Extractor Blades, fill with room temperature water to the MAX line and add 1-2 drops of dish soap.
   • Twist the Rapid Extractor Blade and blend for 20-30 seconds to loosen debris enough to scrub away with soap and water.
     STORAGE:
   • Always store your nutribullet® Ultra upright without any objects placed on top of it. Store accessories in a safe place until use.
