EXTRACTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Carefully read and follow all safety precautions, particularly when operating the NutriBullet.

• NEVER LEAVE THE NUTRIBULLET UNATTENDED WHILE IN USE!

• CLOSE SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY WHEN ANY APPLIANCE IS USED

BY OR NEAR CHILDREN.

• NEVER USE THE PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE TO BLEND WITHOUT

LIQUID AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE IT.

• NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS OR UTENSILS NEAR THE MOVING PRECISION

EXTRACTOR BLADE AND NEVER USE YOUR HANDS OR UTENSILS TO PRESS THE
ACTIVATOR BUTTONS DOWN WHILE THE NUTRIBULLET IS PLUGGED IN.

• THE PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE IS SHARP! HANDLE CAREFULLY. USE CARE

WHILE HANDLING THE PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE. DO NOT TOUCH THE
PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE EDGES TO AVOID INJURY.

• CHECK GASKET TO MAKE SURE IT IS COMPLETELY SEATED IN THE PRECISION

EXTRACTOR BLADE UNIT BEFORE EACH USE. CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR
ASSISTANCE IF THE GASKET IS NOT COMPLETELY SEATED.

• WE RECOMMEND REPLACING YOUR PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE EVERY

6 MONTHS OR AS NEEDED FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE. TO ORDER A
REPLACEMENT PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE, SIMPLY VISIT: WWW.
NUTRILIVING.COM

• THE NUTRIBULLET IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN MICROWAVE OVENS. DO NOT

PLACE THE NUTRIBULLET CUPS, POWER BASE OR ANY NUTRIBULLET ACCESSORY
IN A MICROWAVE OVEN AS THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ACCESSORY.
TO HEAT SOUPS AFTER BLENDING COOL OR ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS,
TRANSFER MIXTURE TO A MICROWAVE SAFE CONTAINER OR TO A STOVE-TOP POT
PRIOR TO HEATING.

• NEVER MICROWAVE ANY UNVENTED, SEALED CONTAINERS AS THEIR CONTENTS

MAY EXPAND WITH HEAT PRESSURE AND EXPLODE, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE
INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

• NEVER BLEND CARBONATED INGREDIENTS OR LIQUIDS. BUILT-UP PRESSURE

FROM RELEASED GASES CAN CAUSE CONTAINER TO BURST, RESULTING IN
POSSIBLE INJURY.

• DO NOT PUT HOT INGREDIENTS IN ANY OF THE BLENDING VESSELS BEFORE
BLENDING. THE HEAT FROM THE INGREDIENTS CAN CAUSE PRESSURE TO BUILD
IN THE SEALED VESSEL CAUSING POSSIBLE EXPULSION OF THE INGREDIENTS
AND CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. START WITH COOL OR
ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS. (21ºC/70ºF OR LESS).

• DO NOT RUN THE NUTRIBULLET WITH EMPTY CUPS AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT.

• AFTER BLENDING INGREDIENTS, ALLOW THE CONTENTS TO SETTLE AND RELEASE
ANY PRESSURE THAT MAY HAVE BUILT UP DURING THE EXTRACTION PROCESS.
ALWAYS UNSCREW THE PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE ASSEMBLY FROM THE
VESSEL SLOWLY AND POINTED AWAY FROM YOU IN CASE THERE IS ANY BUILT UP
PRESSURE.

• IF YOU WILL NOT CONSUME YOUR BLAST IMMEDIATELY, USE THE STAY FRESH
LID TO CLOSE THE CONTAINER. REMEMBER TO UNSCREW THE LID AND RELEASE
PRESSURE PERIODICALLY AS THIS WILL RELEASE ANY ADDED PRESSURE THAT
MAY HAVE BUILT UP DUE TO FERMENTATION. THE SUGARS IN THE FRUIT AND
VEGETABLES CAN FERMENT, CAUSING PRESSURE TO BUILD UP AND EXPAND IN
THE VESSEL, WHICH CAN CAUSE INGREDIENTS TO BURST AND SPRAY OUT WHEN
MOVED OR OPENED.

• NEVER PERMIT ANY BLENDED MIXTURE TO SIT INSIDE A SEALED CUP WITH A
PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE WITHOUT FIRST RELEASING THE PRESSURE.
BY UNSCREWING THE LID AND OPENING THE CUP FOR A FEW MOMENTS, THE
PRESSURE WILL DISSIPATE.

• Avoid contact with moving parts.

• NEVER STORE THE PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE ON THE POWER BASE! NEVER

LEAVE THE PRECISION EXTRACTOR BLADE ON THE POWER BASE WITHOUT A CUP
OR VESSEL ATTACHED.

• Keep hands and utensils away from the precision extractor 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
is unplugged.

• Do not use the precision extractor blade for grinding dry materials such as grains,
cereal, or coffee.

• Do not use the NutriBullet outdoors or in inclement weather.

• NEVER BLEND HOT LIQUIDS.

SAFETY WARNINGS: EXTRACTING FOR
NUTRIBLASTS

• TO TURN OFF THE NUTRIBULLET AT Any time DURING blending, lift the cup off
the power base. ALWAYS ALLOW THE MOTOR TO STOP COMPLETELY BEFORE
REMOVING THE CUP/ precision extractor BLADE. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER
BASE UPON COMPLETION OF use.

• Do not touch coupling gear directly with hands after use! The coupling gear in
precision extractor blade base and Power base will be hot!

• DO NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN 1 minute INTERVALs.

• DO NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN 3 CONSECUTIVE 1 MINUTE INTERVALS WITHOUT
ALLOWING the POWER BASE TO COOL TO PREVENT OVERHEATING AND ALLOW
INGREDIENTS TO SETTLE FOR 2-3 MINUTES AFTER THE 3RD EXTRACTION CYCLE.

• POWER BASE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN INTERNAL THERMAL BREAKER THAT SHUTS
OFF THE POWER BASE if THE UNIT OVERHEATS.

• IF THE POWER BASE OVERHEATS AND SHUTS OFF, UNPLUG THE POWER BASE
AND LET IT COOL FOR AN HOUR OR MORE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE IT AGAIN.
POWER BASE WILL RESET WHEN THE UNIT IS powered off AND THE THERMAL
BREAKER HAS COOLED DOWN SUFFICIENTLY.

• ALLOW THE NUTRIBULLET TO COOL DOWN FOR 10 MIN AFTER 4-5 CYCLES TO
PREVENT OVERHEATING AND DAMAGING THE UNIT.

• FOR TOUGH DEBRIS, FILL THE CUP ½ FULL WITH WARM (NOT HOT), MILD SOAPY
WATER. THEN, SIMPLY TWIST ON THE precision extractor BLADE, POP IT ON THE
BASE AND GIVE IT A RUN FOR 30-45 SECONDS. FOLLOW UP WITH A QUICK BRUSH.

• WHEN WASHING precision extractor BLADE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE
GASKET RING. SIMPLY HAND WASH THE precision extractor BLADE IN WARM,
MILD SOAPY WATER. ATTEMPTED REMOVAL OF THE GASKET MAY PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE THE precision extractor BLADE CONFIGURATION AND CAUSE LEAKAGE.

• We recommend replacing your Extractor Blade every 6 months or as needed for optimal
performance. To order a replacement blade, simply visit: www.nutriLIVING.COM

STUBBORN CLEANUP

If ingredients dry inside the NutriBullet Cups, make your cleanup a snap by filling
the cup about 2/3 full with warm soapy water (not hot) and screw on the Precision
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 and
rinse, 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 precision extractor blade on to the cup tightly, liquids can leak out and get into
the base and stick to the activator buttons.

• To prevent leakage, always align and hand-tighten the precision extractor blade to the
vessel or cup prior to inverting it and placing the assembly on to the motor base.

CLEANING SAFEGUARDS

• The precision extractor blade must be cleaned immediately After each use.

• ALWAYS UNPLUG the POWER BASE PRIOR TO CLEANING, ASSEMBLING OR

DISASSEMBLING.

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

WIPE OFF ANY DEBRIS INSIDE THE POWER BASE IMMEDIATELY with warm water
TO KEEP IT IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.

• DO NOT WASH THE precision extractor BLADE IN THE DISHWASHER AS ELEVATED

TEMPERATURES CAN DAMAGE GASKET SEALS.

• THE NutriBullet CUPS AND precision extractor BLADES SHOULD NOT BE immersed

IN BOILING WATER FOR ANY REASON AS THIS WILL WARP the PLASTIC and
damage the gaskets.

• The precision extractor BLADE is SHARP! USE CARE WHEN CLEANING the

precision extractor BLADES TO AVOID INJURY! RINSE precision extractor BLADES
IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE TO PREVENT DEBRIS FROM DRYING AND STICKING
TO IT. IF NECESSARY, USE a dish BRUSH TO LOOSEN ANY DEBRIS AROUND BLADE,
GASKETS AND BLADE HOUSING THREADS WITH CARE. Do not use your fingers.

• HAND WASH ONLY WITH MILD DISH SOAP AND WARM WATER (NOT HOT).

• Allow to air dry prior to proper storage.
