FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Keep cord out of reach of children. This appliance is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it.
• NEVER LEAVE THE NUTRIBULLET® UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• DO NOT USE OUTDOORS.
• ALWAYS TURN THE NUTRIBULLET® OFF WHEN NOT IN USE.

HEAT & PRESSURE SAFETY

• Always use extreme care and attention when using hot ingredients in any blending product, as the friction from the rotating blades (during the blending process) combined with the thermal energy of the heated ingredients can create a dangerous situation if not properly controlled.

BLENDING WITH NUTRIBULLET® CUPS:
To avoid personal injury, never blend hot ingredients or liquid in any sealed NutriBullet® cup!

WARNINGS

Heated ingredients can pressurize sealed containers when agitated and cause 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 off 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 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 off 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.

cause thermal injury and/or property damage.

Steam and splattering ingredients can escape through the pitcher lid, potentially scalding and/or burning the user. NEVER blend hot liquids in your pitcher without the pitcher lid and vented lid cap locked into the pitcher lid and attached. The vented lid cap allows steam and pressure to escape, while guarding against excess splashing. NEVER blend hot liquids in your NutriBullet® cups or any other sealed vessel.

When blending hot liquids, add liquid and solid ingredients to your pitcher below their respective MAX lines. Attach the pitcher lid with the vented lid cap inserted and locked. Press POWER and begin blending on the LOW setting. Once ingredients are integrated, increase speed as needed.

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 off 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.

Blades are sharp! Handle carefully. Use care when handling any 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 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® blending vessel before placing it on the motor base and operating the NutriBullet® Select. Check to make sure the easy-twist extractor blade is aligned properly before placing it on the motor base and operating your NutriBullet® Select.
• After blending, turn the power blending vessel/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 off the unit prior to complete power down can cause damage to the easy-twist extractor blade coupling or motor gear.

PITCHER SAFETY

Ensure the easy-twist extractor blade is securely fastened to the pitcher base before blending. Failure to properly align the blade and pitcher attachment can cause liquid to leak out of the base, potentially causing the components to separate during blending. This can result in damage to the machine, damage to property, and/or personal injury.

• With recipes that require certain ingredients to be incorporated during blending, first add the base ingredients, seal the pitcher lid with vented lid cap attached, and begin blending. Then, once the ingredients are well mixed, twist open the vented lid cap and carefully pour or drop ingredients into the mixture.
• If you need to push ingredients closer to the blade, ONLY USE THE TAMPER PROVIDED with the NutriBullet® Select. DO NOT use any utensil or apparatus other than the tamper to push ingredients toward the blade. The tamper is specifically designed not to come in contact with the blade. Spatulas, spoons
  and other tools can make contact with the blade, which may result in damage to the machine, damage to property, and/or possible injury.
• NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR ANY PART OF YOUR HAND TO PUSH INGREDIENTS DOWN TOWARD THE BLADE. Only use the provided tamper.

Remember to use extra caution when blending hot liquids or ingredients in the pitcher.

• Spray or escaping steam may cause burns and/or property damage.
• Do not fill container above the maximum capacity lines indicated for liquids and solid ingredients.
• Always begin blending hot ingredients on the LOW setting.
• Keep hands and other exposed skin away from lid opening to prevent possible burns.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Do not use this product
in locations with different electrical specifications or 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® Select in water or other liquids. Discontinue use if the cord, plug, or motor base is damaged.
• Always POWER OFF and UNPLUG the NutriBullet® Select when it is not in use or BEFORE assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or cleaning. Do not attempt to handle the NutriBullet® Select 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® Select has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the motor when it overheats. The thermal breaker will reset when the unit is unplugged, and the thermal breaker cools down sufficiently.

POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION:

• This appliance has important markings on the plug. The attachment plug or entire cord set is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance will be replaced.
• Your NutriBullet® Select 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.

Care & maintenance.

Cleaning the NutriBullet® Select is easy. The pitcher is dishwasher-safe while the cups and to-go lids are TOP RACK dishwasher-safe. The easy-twist extractor blade and motor base can be quickly hand-washed with soap and water. Read on for best practices.
Here’s how to clean the NutriBullet®:

1. STEP 1:
   The most important thing — ALWAYS POWER OFF THE UNIT and UNPLUG the motor base from the power outlet when it is not in use. Do not attempt to handle the appliance until all parts have stopped moving! This includes during assembly and disassembly, while changing accessories during cleaning, and any time you leave the machine unattended.
2. STEP 2:
   Detach the NutriBullet® cup / easy-twist extractor blade or pitcher from the motor base.
3. STEP 3:
   Clean the individual components (motor base, easy-twist extractor blade, NutriBullet® cups, or pitcher) as recommended in this section.

MOTOR BASE:

• To avoid risk of injury, NEVER attempt to clean the actuator system on the motor base while the NutriBullet® Select is plugged in.
• Do not attempt to remove any pieces from the motor base.
• Use a sponge or dish cloth dampened with warm soapy water to wipe down the motor base until clean.
• If necessary, you may use a small brush to scrub the actuator system area to ensure it’s clean.
• To clean leakage residue from the motor base, wipe with a damp sponge and warm water.
• If necessary, you may use a small brush to scrub the actuator system area to ensure it’s clean.

EASY-TWIST EXTRACTOR BLADE

• Blades are sharp! Handle the easy-twist extractor blade with care when cleaning! It is best to clean blades immediately after use to reduce buildup of residue. If food particles get stuck, use a small brush or sponge to target and dislodge them.
• Do not remove any components of the easy-twist extractor blade; this can result in permanent damage to the blade, resulting in leakage when blending. If, over time, the easy-twist extractor blade becomes loose or damaged, you may order a new easy-twist extractor blade at nutribullet.com or contact customer service.
• Dry the easy-twist extractor blade completely after every use.
• Regularly check the condition of the bottom of the blade for cracking or breakage. If damaged, replace easy-twist extractor blade immediately to prevent possible personal injury.

NUTRIBULLET® CUPS & TO-GO LIDS

These items are TOP RACK dishwasher-safe. We recommend rinsing and briefly scrubbing them with a dish brush to remove any remaining debris before placing in the dishwasher. NEVER use the sanitize cycle to wash the cups — heat this high can warp the plastic.

NUTRIBULLET® PITCHER:

• The pitcher is dishwasher-safe. We recommend rinsing and briefly scrubbing it with a dish brush to remove any remaining debris before placing in the dishwasher. NEVER use the sanitize cycle to wash the pitcher — heat this high can warp the plastic.
• If preferred, hand-wash the pitcher with soap and water. Stuck-on ingredients might require extra scrubbing from a dish brush or sponge.
• Regularly check the structure of the pitcher and twisting threads for cracking, crazing, or breakage.
  If damaged, replace immediately to prevent possible personal injury.
• NEVER USE A PITCHER THAT DOES NOT PROPERLY ALIGN WITH THE BLADE. Doing so may cause the pitcher and motor base to separate, exposing the blade assembly and potentially causing severe personal injury.

TAMPER
Always hand-wash the tamper with soap and water. Stuck-on ingredients might require extra scrubbing from a dish brush or sponge.

STUBBORN CLEAN UP:
If ingredients get stuck to the NutriBullet® cups, easy-twist extractor blades, or pitcher, here’s an easy cleanup solution: fill the vessel with room temperature (21°C/70°F or less) water to its MAX line and add 1-2 drops of dish soap. For cups, twist on the easy-twist extractor blade, and blend on the motor base for 20-30 seconds. For the pitcher, attach lid and blend on the motor base for the same amount of time, 20-30 seconds. This should loosen debris enough to scrub away with soap and water.

How to store

Store the NutriBullet® Select upright with the pitcher lid secured on top. Do not place anything on top of the pitcher lid. Store remaining pieces in a safe place where they will not be damaged and won’t cause harm.

WARNING: NEVER store the easy-twist extractor blade on the motor base without a NutriBullet® cup or the pitcher attached as the exposed blades pose a serious laceration hazard.
