IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & CAUTIONARY INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NUTRIBULLET.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

• Caution! To avoid risk of electric shock, never immerse the power cord, plug, or power base of blender in water or other liquids.

• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

• DO NOT USE THE NUTRIBULLET WITH ANY TYPE OF ADAPTOR OR VOLTAGE CONVERTER DEVICE.

• USE OF ADAPTERS AND CONVERTERS IS CONSIDERED AN UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION OF THE NUTRIBULLET AND AS SUCH WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. USE OF THE NUTRIBULLET IN AREAS WITH DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT.

• UNPLUG THE NUTRIBULLET WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE. MAKE SURE THE POWER BASE IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE ASSEMBLING, DISASSEMBLING, ADDING ADDITIONAL PARTS, OR CLEANING.

• IF THE POWER BASE DOES NOT STOP AFTER ONE MINUTE, UNPLUG IT AND CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE.

• Do not pull, twist, or damage the power cord.

• Do not allow the power cord to hang over the side of the counter or table.

• Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces, including stove.

• Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for signs of damage. Never operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug.

• If the NutriBullet malfunctions or is dropped, or damaged in any manner, discontinue use and contact Customer Service for further assistance.

• At all times, avoid contact with moving parts.

• Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while chopping or blending food to reduce the risk of severe personal injury or damage to the device. A scraper may be used, but only when the blender/food chopper is not running and the NutriBullet is unplugged.

• NEVER LEAVE THE NUTRIBULLET UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS IN USE.

• CLOSE SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY WHEN USED BY OR NEAR CHILDREN.

• To prevent overheating, never allow the motor to run for more than one minute at a time, as this may cause damage to the motor as well as increase the thermal pressure inside the cup which can cause personal injury.

• If the motor stops for any reason, unplug the Power Base and let it cool for at least an hour as this will reset the internal thermal breaker.

• To reduce the risk of injury and leakage, make sure the blade base is securely screwed onto the cup before placing it on the Power Base and operating the NutriBullet.

• Do not use NutriBullet outdoors. Do not allow the NutriBullet to be exposed to inclement weather elements such as rain or other wet conditions.

• BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.

• NEVER INSERT THE BLADE INTO THE POWER BASE WITHOUT FIRST ATTACHING THE CUP.

• Check gasket to make sure it is completely seated in the cross blade before each use.

• The NutriBullet is not intended for use in microwave ovens. Do not place the NutriBullet cups, power base or any accessories in a microwave as this may result in damage to its various parts.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the device, keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade.

• Never blend carbonated beverages. Built-up pressure from released gases can cause the sealed cup to burst, resulting in possible injury.

• Do not put hot liquids in any of the blending vessels before blending. Start

with cool or room temperature ingredients. Heated ingredients can create internal pressure in a sealed blending vessel, which may erupt on opening and cause thermal injury. When opening vessels aer extraction, possible pressure may be released. Make sure the vessel is pointing away from the body when opening the cup and blade assembly.

• CAUTION! Friction from the rotating blade can cause ingredients to heat and generate internal pressure in the sealed vessel. Do not continuously operate for more than one minute. If the vessel is warm to touch, allow it to cool before carefully opening it pointed away from your body.

• Never permit any blended mixture to sit inside a sealed vessel without first releasing internal pressure.

• Do not allow blended mixtures to sit for long periods of time in a sealed container. The sugars in the fruit and vegetables can ferment, creating gas and causing pressure to build up and expand in the vessel which can cause ingredients to burst and spray out when moved or opened.

• Never use the NutriBullet to blend ingredients without adding liquid in as doing so may damage the blade.

• The cyclonic action of your NutriBullet requires the use of liquids to make NutriBlasts and other nutritious beverages. The NutriBullet is not intended to be used as an ice crusher, and not without liquids. To make a delicious cold NutriBlast, we suggest that you use frozen fruit and chilled liquids. Alternatively, you may add crushed ice, up to 25% of the total cup volume, with water or other liquid filled up to the “MAX” line. Do not crush ice or other hard items without liquid, as such prolonged use over time may dull or damage the blades. Always inspect your blades before each use.

• Never remove the cup and blade assembly from the power base until the motor comes to a complete stop. Removing the cup/blade assembly while the power base is still running may cause damage to the blade coupling or motor gear.

WARNING: VENTILATION CAUTION

• Always operate the NutriBullet on a level surface, leaving unobstructed space beneath and around the power base to permit proper air circulation. Slots and openings on the bottom of the NutriBullet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable motor operation and to prevent over-heating. Warning: To prevent fire hazard, power base openings should be free of dust or lint and never obstructed with flammable materials such as newspapers, tablecloths, napkins, dish towels, or place mats.

ATTEMPTED REMOVAL OF THE GASKET MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE BLADE CONFIGURATOIN AND CAUSE LEAKAGE. IF IN TIME A GASKET COMES LOOSE OR DAMAGED, PLEASE CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A NEW BLADE.

CLEANING

STAINLESS STEEL VESSEL WARNINGS:

THE NUTRIBULLET

Everyone hates cleaning up, which is just one more reason the NutriBullet is such a wonderful time saver.

WARNING:

• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE NUTRIBULLET WHEN CLEANING OR ASSEMBLING.

Cleaning the NutriBullet is so easy… simply place any of the pieces (except for the power base and blades) on the top shelf of the dishwasher or hand wash

with warm soapy water and rinse.

WARNING:

DO NOT WASH THE BLADES IN THE DISHWASHER. THE NUTRIBULLET CUPS CAN BE WASHED IN THE DISHWASHER BUT ONLY ON THE TOP RACK USING THE NORMAL (NOT SANITIZE) CYCLE. THE NUTRIBULLET CUPS AND BLADES SHOULD NOT BE IMMERSED IN BOILING WATER FOR ANY REASON AS THIS WILL WARP THE PLASTIC AND DAMAGE THE GASKETS.

STUBBORN CLEANUP

If ingredients dry inside the NutriBullet, make your cleanup a snap by filling the cup about  full with warm soapy water and screw on the Extractor Blade. Place the cup assembly on the NutriBullet, power base for about 20-30 seconds. This will loosen the stuck ingredients, and with a light scrub, you’ll be all done.

CLEANING THE NUTRIBULLET POWER BASE

For the most part the power base doesn’t really get dirty, but if you neglect to twist the blade on to the cup tightly, liquids can leak out and get into the base and activator buttons. Here’s how to clean it up.

Step 1: The most important thing is to UNPLUG the power base before cleaning! Step 2: Make sure the blade is not attached to the power base. Step 3: Use a damp rag to wipe down the inside and outside of the Power Base.

• NEVER SUBMERGE THE POWER BASE IN WATER OR PLACE IT IN THE DISHWASHER.

• Never put your hands or utensils near the moving blade and never use your hands or utensils to press the activator buttons down while the power base is plugged in.

INTRODUCTION

For busy, active people, good nutrition is a prime concern. Eating wholesome, high quality food ensures you operate at the highest level, whether on the field, in the boardroom, in the classroom, or at home. The problem that so oen presents itself, however, is that unprocessed whole food requires more preparation than packaged convenience food—taking time and energy that many don’t have in their already busy lifestyles.

Enter the NutriBullet. More than a blender and more than a juicer, the NutriBullet is a powerful nutrition extractor that uses patented technology to transform nutrient-dense greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and other healthful foods into silky-smooth, super-portable NutriBlast smoothies. When enjoyed as a meal replacement or a snack,

NutriBlasts provide all the sustenance of whole fruits and vegetables— fiber, pulp, seeds, and skins included—without any peeling, dicing, slicing, or even chewing, saving you the time, energy, and cleanup required of traditional food preparation.

Prioritizing nutrition doesn’t have to be inconvenient. Create fast, nourishing meals and snacks with the NutriBullet, and see what happens when you start giving your body the fuel it deserves. We’re confident you’ll be blasting for a long time to come.

NutriBullet

Long live you.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

There’s a lot of frequently used terminology in the NutriBullet universe. If you’re having trouble distinguishing your Bullet from your Blast, let this list o er some guidance.

NUTRIBLAST

Or “Blast” for short is the nutrient-extracted drink made in your NutriBullet. Blasts are designed to increase the amount of produce you consume in your daily diet, fitting an average of 5-7 servings of vegetables and fruits into just one beverage.

NUTRIENT EXTRACTION

Nutrient Extraction is the process by which whole food ingredients are converted into NutriBlasts in the NutriBullet. Engineered to create the most nutritionally dense drinks possible, the extraction process transforms even the toughest ingredients into a silky-smooth consistency. Unlike blenders and juicers, the NutriBullet gives you the health benefits of eating the whole fruit and/or vegetable—fiber, pulp, seeds, skins, and all—via nutrient extraction. Nothing is le behind.

CYCLONIC ACTION

Cyclonic Action is the patented spinning movement generated by the NutriBullet’s components. When Power Base meets Extractor Blade meets Contained Vessel (Colossal Cup) meets gravity, the result is a mini-cyclone that evenly distributes ingredients to the spinning blade, creating the unique silky-smooth extracted texture of your NutriBullet.

for NutriBlast recipes, articles, nutrition Q&A, and special offers.

SUPERFOOD

On a basic level, we use the word superfood to refer to any food with an exceptional nutritional profile. For example, kale is o en considered a superfood due to its nutritional density per relatively small portion. One cup of kale contains over 200% of the recommended daily amount (RDA) of Vitamin A needs and over 100% the RDA of Vitamin C, plus fiber and antioxidants. Other foods we consider to be superfoods include maca, cacao, blue and green algae like spirulina and chlorella, avocado, walnuts, chia seeds, and blueberries, among others.

NUTRIBULLET SUPERFOOD BLENDS

The NutriBullet SuperFood Blends are pre-packaged mixtures of 100% organic superfoods sourced from around the world. Most blends are formulated to support a particular health focus, containing ingredients whose nutrients are known to be beneficial for specific bodily processes. For example, the SuperFood Fat Burning Boost® is made from foods linked with thermogenic (fat burning), metabolism-boosting, and satiating properties like green tea, cayenne pepper, inulin, chia, and cinnamon. Other blends include the SuperFood Cleansing Greens™, SuperFood Protein Blend®, SuperFood Healthy Gut™, and the SuperFood Beauty Boost™, among others.
