FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

AVOID HEATING AND OVER-PRESSURIZING CUP

NEVER blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients or liquid in the nutribullet^® Cup! Such use may over-pressurize the nutribullet^® Cup, causing the Cup to separate violently when removed from the Motor Base or opened, which may result in bodily injury from the hot contents or exposed blades.

• DO NOT blend hot or warm ingredients.
  • Starting with hot or warm ingredients allows more heat and pressure to build inside the Cup when blending. This may cause the Cup to separate, expelling hot contents or exposing the blade, both of which may cause injury.
  • Only blend roomtemperature or refrigerated ingredients (21°C/70°F or cooler).
• DO NOT blend for more than one minute.
  • Blending causes ingredients to heat up, which builds pressure in the Cup over time. Continuous blending for more than one minute may cause the Cup to separate, exposing the blade, or expel heated contents, causing injury.
  • DO NOT run for more than 6 consecutive 30-second intervals to prevent the contents from overheating and pressurizing. Allow contents to settle at least 10 to 15 minutes after running multiple consecutive extraction cycles. DO NOT attempt to open the Cup if it feels hot or warm to the touch. See Cup Caution section for details.
• DO NOT blend anything carbonated or effervescent — no bubbles.
  • Carbonated and effervescent ingredients (e.g., soda, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, some batters, cake mix, dry ice, or other things that become bubbly) release gasses that increase pressure. Pressure from released gases can cause a sealed nutribullet^® Cup to burst, resulting in possible injury and/or property damage.
    Note: Some protein powders include effervescent ingredients. Always check the ingredients of all supplements before adding.
• DO NOT overfill.
  • Filling above the MAX line can result in leakage. The cyclonic action of the nutribullet^® requires space to extract effectively. Exceeding the MAX line can result in leakage and may create a dangerous pressurization which can cause the Cup and Rapid Extractor Blade assembly to separate.
• DO NOT leave blended foods inside sealed Cup.
  • Blended mixtures can spoil and ferment, increasing pressure when left inside the Cup.
  • Use the To-Go Lid or transfer to another container for storage after blending.

CUP CAUTION

NEVER attempt to open a sealed nutribullet^® Cup if it feels hot or warm to the touch. The contents may be heated and pressurized, which can cause the Cup to violently separate when opened, potentially resulting in bodily injury. If the Cup feels hot or warm, take the following steps:

1. LEAVE ALONE, DO NOT OPEN. Leave the Cup where it is and do not touch it or allow another individual to touch. DO NOT attempt to disengage the Cup from the Motor Base or separate the Cup from the Rapid Extractor Blade by applying heat, force, or prying apart the components, which may crack or shatter the Cup and result in bodily injury.
2. Do not continue to blend.
3. Allow the Cup to cool for at least 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, check if the Cup is completely cooled. If still warm, allow to cool more.
5. If cool to the touch, slowly disengage the Cup from the Motor Base.
6. With the Cup pointed away from your face and body, use a towel to slowly untwist the Cup from the Rapid Extractor Blade and gently release any residual pressure.

If you are still unable to remove the Cup from the Rapid Extractor Blade, contact Customer Service. If you are unable to untwist the Cup from the Rapid Extractor Blade, NEVER leave the sealed contents out for a prolonged period of time. The contents may ferment causing the Cup to violently separate, which can result in in bodily injury or property damage. Dispose of the Cup and contents properly so you or others will not be injured if fermentation causes the Cup to separate.

CUP SAFETY:

Always make sure the Cup is securely locked on the Motor Base before blending. The motor will not turn on unless the Cup is set in the locked position.

• Do not exceed the MAX line. Exceeding the MAX line can result in leakage.
• Do not remove the Cup while the unit is in operation.
• Periodically inspect your nutribullet^® Ultra blender components for damage or wear that may impair proper function or create a safety hazard.
• NEVER operate your nutribullet^® Ultra if the Cup is empty.
• Do not overfill Cup with ice. Always use sufficient liquid ingredients when blending.
• Do not place on the bottom rack or use the heat/sanitize cycle of your dishwasher to wash the Cup or To-Go Lids.
• Cups and To-Go Lids are NOT microwave safe.
• Do not use the Cup if you detect cracking, cloudiness, or other damage. You may purchase new Cups at nutribullet.com or by contacting Customer Service.
• Do not use the Rapid Extractor Blade as a storage lid as the blended mixture can ferment, increasing pressure within the Cup that may cause the Cup and blade to separate, potentially resulting in bodily injury and property damage. Use the To-Go Lid or transfer to a vented container for storage after blending.
• Do not use after-market replacement parts for your nutribullet^® Ultra. Use of after-market replacement parts may result in damage to your nutribullet^® or create safety hazards resulting in bodily injury or damage. Only order replacement parts from nutribullet.com or by contacting Customer Service at: 1 (800) 523-5993, please specify the model for parts that are compatible with your unit.

RAPID EXTRACTOR BLADE SAFETY

BLADES ARE SHARP! HANDLE WITH CARE TO AVOID BODILY INJURY. Non-food items or hard ingredients may damage the blades. Routinely inspect the blades and discontinue use if damaged. Continued use with a damaged blade or use inconsistent with these instructions may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to your unit.

• Do not touch the sharp edges of the blades. To avoid laceration injury, do not handle or touch any blade edge.
• NEVER store any exposed Rapid Extractor Blade in the Motor Base unattached to a nutribullet^® Cup. An exposed blade can present a laceration hazard.
• ALWAYS securely tighten the Rapid Extractor Blade to the Cup to prevent leakage.
• Do not attempt to disengage the Cup from the Motor Base if the Cup starts to leak during blending. Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before removing the Cup.
• Do not crush ice. Your nutribullet^® Ultra is not intended to be used as an ice crusher.
• Do not leave any non-food items in the Cup when blending. Remove all utensils from the Cup.
• Do not blend stone fruit in this appliance unless pits/seeds have been removed. Fruit pits may damage the Cup, potentially resulting in shattering and personal injury. In addition, apple seeds and the pits of cherries, plums, peaches, and apricots contain a chemical known to release cyanide into the body when ingested.
• DO NOT USE the Rapid Extractor Blade for grinding dry ingredients such as grains, cereal, or coffee, as this may damage the motor and/or the blade.
• Do not remove the Cup until blades have come to a complete stop. Removing before the blades come to a complete stop can cause damage to the Rapid Extractor Blade coupling or motor gear.
• Always POWER OFF and UNPLUG the unit when assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or cleaning.
• Do not overload the Cup by exceeding the MAX line. The blades may stop turning if the Cup is overloaded. If this occurs, turn off the unit, empty contents down to the Max line, reattach the Cup, and resume blending.
• AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS! Keep hands and utensils out of and away from the blade while blending to reduce the risk of severe personal injury or damage to the unit.
• NEVER place the Rapid Extractor Blade on the bottom rack or use the heat/sanitize cycle of your dishwasher when cleaning.
• Periodically inspect the blades for damage. DO NOT use the Rapid Extractor Blade if the blades do not rotate freely or if the gasket is missing or damaged.
• The Rapid Extractor Blade is designed for longevity and comes with a 5-year warranty.
• We recommend replacing at least every 5 years.
