5. Operating Instructions
The Nutribullet Pro 1200 features a powerful 1200-watt motor and offers both continuous blending and a pulse function.
5.1. Blend Mode
For continuous blending, simply push the cup down onto the Power Base and twist clockwise until it locks. The blender will operate continuously for up to 60 seconds, then automatically shut off for optimal extraction. To stop blending before the auto shut-off, twist the cup counter-clockwise and lift it off the Power Base.
5.2. Pulse Mode
The Pulse function is ideal for achieving chunky textures, such as salsas or coarse chopping. To use Pulse Mode:
- Place the assembled cup onto the Power Base without twisting to lock.
- Press down firmly on the cup to activate the motor. Release to stop.
- Repeat short presses until desired consistency is reached.
