® BLENDER COMBO User guide. Important safeguards & cautionary information. Warning! To avoid the risk of serious injury, carefully read all instructions before operating your NutriBullet®. When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following critical information. WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! PERSONAL SAFETY BLENDING WITH NUTRIBULLET® CUPS: CUP NEVER put hot liquids in any of the blending cups before blending. Start with cold or room temperature ingredients. Heated ingredients can create internal pressure in a sealed blending cup, which may erupt on opening and cause thermal injury. Never blend carbonated ingredients or liquids. Builtup pressure can cause the blade and cup to separate, possibly resulting in personal injury. If storing blended ingredients, remove the blade from the cup and replace with the flip top lid. Never store the extractor blade on the power base without a cup or vessel attached. Failure to do so may results in personal injury if the unit is accidentally turned on. WARNING! NEVER leave spoons or other foreign objects in the cup before blending. Failure to do so will result in damage to the cup and/or possible personal injury. BLENDING WITH THE PITCHER: HOT LIQUIDS: Use caution when PITCHER blending hot liquids in the pitcher. Never turn the power on while using the pitcher without the vented lid cap inserted and locked into the pitcher lid, as ingredients can splash, and if hot or warm, could potentially cause thermal injury and/or property damage. Friction from the rotating blade will cause ingredients to heat and generate internal pressure in the sealed vessel. Do not continuously operate for more than one minute. If the vessel is warm to touch, allow to cool before carefully opening pointed away from your body. 2 WARNING! NEVER leave spoons or other foreign objects in the pitcher before blending. Failure to do so will result in damage to the pitcher and/or possible personal injury. Never leave the NutriBullet® unattended while it is in use. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. To avoid risk of electric shock, never immerse the cord, plug, or power base of blender in water or other liquids. At all times, avoid contact with moving parts. VERY IMPORTANT: If there is a liquid spill, immediately disconnect the unit from the power source. If the spill is external only, clean with a warm, soapy cloth and allow the unit to dry completely before operating. If the spill has leaked in to the internal components of the power base, cease use immediately. Unit must be checked by a Qualified Electrician and certified electrically safe before using again. Failure to do so will results in possible shock and/ or personal injury. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Switch o the appliance and disconnect from power supply before changing accessories or handling moving parts. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the device, keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade. The cup, pitcher and blades are consumable components. Over time, if the unit starts to get louder or make unusual noise or vibration, it indicates that these consumable parts may need replacing. The continued use of worn parts may results in part failure and/or personal injury. 3 WARNING! WARNING!

To reduce the risk of severe personal injury, keep hands and utensils out of and away from the cross blade while blending food. The use of attachments not recommended or not sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, make sure the easy-twist extractor blade is securely twisted (handtightened) onto the NutriBullet® blending cup before placing it on the motor base. Check to make sure the easy-twist extractor blade is aligned properly before placing it on the motor base and operating your NutriBullet®. Always operate the pitcher with the pitcher lid securely in place. PITCHER With recipes that require added 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 1200. DO NOT use any 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. The cyclonic action® of your NutriBullet® requires the use of liquids to make smoothies and other nutritious items. The NutriBullet® is not intended to be used without liquids, or as an ice crusher. ALWAYS ADD LIQUID to your recipe. We recommend replacing your easy-twist extractor blade every 6 months (depending on use) or as needed for optimal performance. 6 Blade attachments should not be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning. Exposure to hot water can cause damage to the seal in the outer rim of the attachment. Do not use NutriBullet® outdoors. If exposed to inclement weather elements such as rain or other wet conditions, discontinue use. Unplug the NutriBullet® when it is not in use. Make sure the power base is unplugged before assembling, disassembling, adding additional parts, or cleaning.

STEP 3: Clean the individual components (motor base, easy-twist extractor blade, NutriBullet® cups) as recommended in the following pages. MOTOR BASE: · To avoid risk of injury, NEVER attempt to clean the actuator system on the motor base while the NutriBullet® Blender Combo 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. WARNING: Never submerge the motor base in water. 20 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 easytwist 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 easytwist 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: WARNING: Blades are sharp! Use caution when cleaning the pitcher. · The pitcher is dishwashersafe.
