HEAT & PRESSURE
SAFETY

To avoid personal
injury, never blend hot
ingredients or liquid in any
sealed NutriBullet® cup!

Heated ingredients can
pressurize sealed containers
when agitated and cause

WARNING!

cup and blade separation or
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. Blade friction from

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

WARNING!

cup from the motor base.
With the NutriBullet® cup,
pointed away from your face
and body, slowly unscrew the
easy-twist extractor blade
to gently release any
residual pressure.

If you need to blend for
longer than one minute,
blend for 1-minute intervals.

After each 1-minute interval,
allow the motor base to shut
o completely and wait at
least one minute before
starting the next 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 blending cycle to
prevent overheating and
buildup of pressure.

Sugar in fruits and vegetables
can ferment over time,
releasing gases that cause
pressure to build up in a
sealed NutriBullet® cup. Do

not store any smoothies or
blended mixtures in vessels
sealed with the easy-twist
extractor blade. If you will

not consume your smoothie
immediately, remove the
easy-twist extractor blade
and cover your NutriBullet®
cup with plastic wrap before
refrigerating. If your smoothie
or blended mixture was

made in the pitcher, transfer
to another storage container
before refrigerating. Never

WARNING!

store any blended mixture in
a sealed cup unrefrigerated,
or for any prolonged period
of time; contents will spoil and
ferment, producing gases that
might cause eruption.

Never blend carbonated
liquids, reactive, or
eervescing ingredients

(e.g., baking soda, baking
powder, vinegar, cirtric acid,
yeast, etc.). Pressure from
released gases can cause a
sealed blending container to
burst or separate, resulting
in possible injury and/or
property damage.

If the NutriBullet® blends
for longer than one minute,
friction from the blades can
cause ingredients to heat and
generate internal pressure
inside the vessel. If a blending
vessel becomes warm to the
touch, turn o the machine
and allow the vessel to cool
completely before carefully
opening, pointed away from
your body to avoid injury.

BLADE SAFETY

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

32

Blades are sharp! Handle
carefully. Use care when
handling any blade. To

WARNING!

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 blades while blending
food to reduce the risk of
severe personal injury.

• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE, make

sure the easy-twist extractor
blade is securely twisted
(hand-tightened) onto the
NutriBullet® cup before
placing it on the motor base
and operating the NutriBullet
PRO 1000. Check to make
sure the easy-twist extractor
blade is aligned properly
before placing it on the motor
base and operating your
NutriBullet® PRO 1000.

• After blending, wait to

remove the NutriBullet® cup/
easy-twist extractor blade
assembly from the motor
base until the motor comes to
a full stop and the unit powers
down completely. Taking the
blending vessel o the unit
prior to complete power down
can cause damage to the
easy-twist extractor blade
coupling or motor gear.

Never use the NutriBullet®
PRO 1000 without adding
liquid, as doing so may
damage the blades.

• The cyclonic action® of your
NutriBullet® PRO 1000 requires
the use of liquids to make
smoothies and other nutritious
items. The NutriBullet® PRO
1000 is not intended to be used
without liquids, or as an ice
crusher. ALWAYS ADD LIQUID

to your recipe.

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

®

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

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Do not use this product
in locations with dierent
electrical specifications or

WARNING!

plug types. Do not operate
with any type of plug
adapter or voltage converter
device, as these may cause
electrical shorting, fire,
electric shock, personal
injury, or product damage.

• The use of attachments,
including canning jars, is
not recommended and may
cause fire, electric shock,

personal injury, or product
damage and will void the
product’s warranty.

• To avoid the risk of electric
shock, never immerse the cord,
plug, or motor base of the
NutriBullet® PRO 1000 in water
or other liquids. Discontinue
use if the cord, plug, or motor
base is damaged.

• Always POWER OFF by

UNPLUGING the NutriBullet®

PRO 1000 when it is not in
use or BEFORE assembling,
disassembling, changing
accessories, or cleaning. Do
not attempt to handle the
NutriBullet® PRO 1000 until all
parts have stopped moving.

• Do not allow the cord to
hang over the edge of the
table or counter. Do not
pull, twist, or damage the
power cord. Do not allow the
cord to touch hot surfaces,
including the stove.

• If the motor stops working,
unplug the motor base and let
it cool for at least 15 minutes
before attempting to use it
again. Your NutriBullet® PRO
1000 has an internal thermal
breaker that shuts o the
motor when it overheats. The
thermal breaker will reset
when the unit is unplugged,
and the thermal breaker cools
down suciently.

POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION:

• Your NutriBullet® PRO 1000
has a polarized plug (one
prong is wider than the other)
to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This plug will correctly
fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician.
For your safety, do not modify
the plug or motor base in any
way. Doing so will increase
risk of injury and void the
product’s warranty.
