VENTILATION SAFETY
To prevent a fire hazard, the openings on the bottom of the power base should be free of dust or lint and never
obstructed as they are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable motor operation to prevent
overheating. Never place your NutriBullet on top of flammable materials such as newspapers, tablecloths, napkins,
dishtowels, place mats or other similar type of materials. Always operate the NutriBullet on a level surface, leaving
unobstructed space beneath and around the power base to permit proper air circulation.
HEAT AND PRESSURE SAFETY
DO NOT BLEND HOT INGREDIENTS OR LIQUIDS (except for the pitcher of the Select and Combo
•
models which is suitable for hot ingredients)
. Always start with room temperature or cooler ingredients
(21°C or less). Never put hot ingredients or hot liquids in any closed-top blending cup/pitcher before
blending. The heat from the ingredients could cause pressure to build up in sealed cups causing
possible expulsion which may cause personal injury or property damage.
NEVER ALLOW THE NUTRIBULLET TO RUN MORE THAN ONE MINUTE
• ®
in the contents overheating which can increase the pressure and may cause the container to burst,
resulting in possible personal injury or property damage. If you need to blend for longer, blend for
1-minute intervals allowing power base to shut off completely in between for 15 seconds. After 3
consecutive 1-minute intervals allow contents to settle for 2-3 minutes before continuing if necessary.
NutriBullet Select and Combo (Extract program), MAX and Rx are equipped with SMART Technology,
a pre-programmed Autocycle which automatically switches off the device after optimal extraction.
•
The NutriBullet has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the motor when it overheats. Unplug the power
base and let it cool down for an hour or more before using it again. The power base will reset when the
thermal breaker has cooled down sufficiently.
•
Never blend carbonated liquids or ingredients (i.e., baking soda, yeast etc.). Pressure from released gases can
cause the blending cup or blade to burst and resulting in possible injury.
•
Don't allow blended mixtures to sit in a sealed cup for long periods of time! Sugar in fruits and
vegetables could ferment. Built up pressure can cause ingredients to burst and spray out when opened.
•
After blending, allow the contents to settle and release any pressure that may have built up during the
extraction process by slowly unscrewing the cup. Have the cup pointed away from your body!
NOTE when making nut butters or oil-based foods: Due to its consistency the food will stick to the sides of the
cup during processing. Proceed in 20-30 second increments only by simply lifting the cup off the power base
between intervals. Tap the cup in combination with opening it to scrape down the ingredients to the center before
continuing to process the next increment. Allow your NutriBullet to cool down for 10 minutes after 4-5 cycles to
prevent overheating and damaging the unit.
BLADE SAFETY to reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage
•
Blades are sharp! Use care while handling the blades, do not touch the edges.
• Avoid contact with moving parts! Keep hands and utensils out of and away from the blade while
blending food. A scraper may be used, but only when the appliance is not running.
• Always inspect your blades before each use.
NutriBullet blend blades are designed for blending and available for all models. NutriBullet milling blades are
available for Magic Bullet and NutriBullet Original (600-series) only and are ideal for turning dry ingredients into
powders, e.g. milling oats, coffee beans, cereals, sugar and crunching herbs, nuts and seeds.
Never store a blade in de power base without a blending cup attached! Never blend without liquid as
doing so may damage the blend blade!
