HEAT & PRESSURE
SAFETY

To avoid personal injury,
never blend hot or
carbonated ingredients
in any sealed

NutriBullet

cup!

Heated ingredients
can pressurize sealed
containers when agitated

WARNING!

and violently expel hot
contents upon opening.
Always start the blending
process with room
temperature or refrigerated
ingredients and liquids
(21°C/70°F or cooler).

Never continuously operate
for longer than necessary
to create your recipe —
generally less than one
minute.

Never blend carbonated
liquids or eervescing
ingredients (e.g., baking

soda, baking powder,
yeast, etc.). Pressure from
released gases can cause
a sealed NutriBullet® cup to
burst, resulting in possible
injury and/or property
damage. Blade friction
from prolonged operation

UserGuide_600-900_v10.indd 2 9/4/19 12:32 PM

can heat ingredients and
generate internal pressure
in the sealed container. This

WARNING!

pressure can cause the cup
and blade to separate or
blended contents to erupt
from the container, resulting
in possible personal injury
and/or property damage.
If the sealed NutriBullet

®

cups are warm to the touch,
power o your machine
and allow the vessel to cool
for fifteen minutes or more.
Allow contents to settle
before slowly releasing
the cup from the motor
base. With the NutriBullet

®

cup, pointed away from
your face and body, slowly
unscrew the extractor
blade to gently release any
residual pressure.

FRICTION FROM THE ROTATING
EXTRACTOR BLADES WHEN
BLENDING CAN CAUSE
INGREDIENTS TO HEAT
AND GENERATE INTERNAL
PRESSURE IN THE SEALED CUP,
IF PERMITTED TO RUN FOR
LONGER THAN A MINUTE. IF THE
CUP IS WARM TO TOUCH ALLOW
IT TO COOL COMPLETELY
BEFORE CAREFULLY OPENING,
POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR
BODY TO AVOID INJURY.

• After blending, allow the
contents to settle and
release any pressure that

may have built up during the
extraction process by slowly
unscrewing the container
from the blade assembly.
Have the container pointed
away from you in case there
is any built-up pressure.

• If you need to blend for
longer than one minute,
blend for 1-minute intervals.
After the initial and each
subsequent 1-minute
blending cycle, allow the
motor base to shut o
completely and wait at least
one minute before starting
another cycle.

• Do not run for more than
3 consecutive 1-minute
intervals to prevent the
contents from overheating.
Allow contents to settle for
2-3 minutes after the third
extraction cycle to prevent
overheating and buildup of
pressure.

 DO NOT ALLOW BLENDED

MIXTURES TO SIT IN
A SEALED CONTAINER
FOR LONG PERIODS OF
TIME! Sugar in fruits and

vegetables can ferment over
time, releasing gases and
causing pressure to build
up in a sealed NutriBullet®
cup. If you will not consume
your smoothie immediately,
remove the blade, cover the
container with a lid or plastic
wrap, and refrigerate. Never
store any blended mixture

either unrefrigerated or for
any prolonged period of
time; contents will spoil
and ferment.

SAFETY

down completely before
removing the cup/extractor
blade from the motor base.
Taking the container o the
unit prior to complete power
down can cause damage to
the extractor blade coupling or
motor gear.

Never store any extractor
blade in the motor base
unattached to a NutriBullet
cup. An exposed blade can
present a laceration hazard.

BLADES ARE SHARP!
HANDLE CAREFULLY. Use

care when handling any

WARNING!

blade. To avoid laceration
injury, do not handle or touch
any blade edge.

AVOID CONTACT WITH
MOVING PARTS! Keep hands

and utensils out of and
away from the extractor
blade while blending food
to reduce the risk of severe
personal injury.

• To prevent leakage and
the possible separation
of components during
operation, properly align
and securely attach (hand
tighten) the blade to a
NutriBullet® cup, and check
for leakage before placing
it on the motor base and
operating your NutriBullet®.

• Once you have stopped your
NutriBullet®, wait until the
motor comes to a complete
stop and the unit powers

EXTRACTOR BLADE
OR MOTOR.

• The cyclonic action® of
your NutriBullet® requires
the use of liquids to make
smoothies and other nutritious
beverages. The NutriBullet® is
not intended to be used as an
ice crusher or without liquids.
Always add liquid to your
smoothie.

• DO NOT USE the extractor blade
for grinding dry ingredients such
as grains, cereal, or coee, as
this may damage the motor
and/or the extractor blade.

• We recommend replacing
your extractor blade every 6
months (depending on use)
or as needed for optimal
performance.

• Certain configurations may
contain a milling blade. This
blade can be used for milling
herbs, spices, grains and seeds.
