NutriBullet Ultra 1200

Touch the Solid Circle for the automatic 30-second program or use the Dashed Circle for pulses after locking the assembled cup onto the base; release the dashed control to stop pulsing.

  1. Place the Motor Base on a clean, dry, level surface. Add cool ingredients and liquid below MAX and hand-tighten the Rapid Extractor Blade; never use warm, hot, carbonated or effervescent contents.
  2. Plug in, invert the cup onto the base and turn it clockwise until it clicks. The Control Panel appears only after the assembly locks in place. An unlit panel is the off state.
  3. Touch the Solid Circle to begin the automatic 30-second blend cycle; it stops at the end of that cycle.
  4. Tap the Dashed Circle for short pulses, or hold it for a longer pulse. Release your finger to stop the blade.
  5. After the blade stops, turn the cup anticlockwise until it clicks free and lift it off. Unplug after use; do not leave a blended mixture stored with the blade sealing the cup.
  6. Do not blend continuously for more than 1 minute. Never try to open a warm or hot sealed cup or force the blade off; allow its contents to settle for at least 30 minutes and cool fully before trying again.
Why is the panel dark or flashing?

For no panel, check that the outlet has power and the cup/blade assembly has clicked securely onto the base. For continuous flashing, stop: too many cycles or overheating can cause this signal. Unplug and cool for at least 15 minutes before retrying.

    Tightly fit the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade into the pitcher, fill below the separate liquid and solid MAX marks and secure the lid and vented cap. Lock the pitcher clockwise onto the base until it clicks, then press POWER and select a setting. LOW/HIGH continue until you stop them; for hot contents start on LOW, then increase only once the mixture is integrated and level. Never use PULSE for hot contents.

  2. Add ingredients or clear stuck food.

    For cool pitcher blending, reduce to LOW before removing the vented lid cap to add ingredients; leave the main lid attached and refit the cap before increasing speed. For stuck ingredients, press POWER, wait until the blade stops, remove the lid and use the supplied tamper, then refit the lid; add a little liquid if sticking continues. Do not add food through the vent opening while blending hot contents.

What are the continuous-run and cooling limits?

  1. Place the Motor Base on a clean, dry, level surface. Add cool ingredients and liquid below MAX and hand-tighten the Rapid Extractor Blade; never use warm, hot, carbonated or effervescent contents.
  2. Plug in, invert the cup onto the base and turn it clockwise until it clicks. The Control Panel appears only after the assembly locks in place. An unlit panel is the off state.
  3. Touch the Solid Circle to begin the automatic 30-second blend cycle; it stops at the end of that cycle.
  4. Tap the Dashed Circle for short pulses, or hold it for a longer pulse. Release your finger to stop the blade.
  5. After the blade stops, turn the cup anticlockwise until it clicks free and lift it off. Unplug after use; do not leave a blended mixture stored with the blade sealing the cup.
  6. Do not blend continuously for more than 1 minute. Never try to open a warm or hot sealed cup or force the blade off; allow its contents to settle for at least 30 minutes and cool fully before trying again.
Why is the panel dark or flashing?

For no panel, check that the outlet has power and the cup/blade assembly has clicked securely onto the base. For continuous flashing, stop: too many cycles or overheating can cause this signal. Unplug and cool for at least 15 minutes before retrying.

NutriBullet Ultra Plus+ Compact Kitchen System

Use the Solid Circle for an automatic 30-second cup or processor cycle, and the Dashed Circle for cup pulses or 1–2-second grinder pulses; never use Pulse with the Work Bowl.

  1. For cup blending, use cool food and liquid below MAX and tightly seal the Rapid Extractor Blade. Plug in and lock the inverted cup clockwise onto the base until it clicks; the Control Panel lights.
  2. Touch the Solid Circle for the automatic 30-second cycle, or tap/hold the Dashed Circle for short/longer pulses. Release the dashed control to stop pulsing.
  3. For chopping, lock the Work Bowl onto the Processor Base & Blade Adapter, fit the Chopping Blade and load prepared food below MAX. Lock the attachment clockwise onto the Motor Base, then align and lock the lid; plug in and press the Solid Circle for a 30-second processing cycle. Never use Pulse with the Work Bowl. Only pour in liquid when powered off with the blade stopped.
  4. Fit the desired disc side upwards in its working position, align the disc/adapter marks and lock the bowl and lid. Press the Solid Circle for a 30-second slice/shred cycle; start the processor before feeding food and guide food gently with the supplied Food Pusher.
  5. Fill the Coffee & Dry Spice Grinder with dry ingredients only below MAX and secure the Grinding Cup to the Grinder Blade. Lock it clockwise onto the base until it clicks; the panel lights. Use 1–2-second holds of the Dashed Circle and release between pulses until evenly ground.
  6. Wait for every blade or disc to stop and unplug before dismantling. Turn the cup or grinder anticlockwise to release it; for the processor, unlock the lid and bowl anticlockwise and remove the blade/disc by its central plastic knob before using a spoon or spatula to remove food.
  7. Do not exceed 6 consecutive 30-second cup intervals. Between cycles, carefully open only a cool cup to release pressure; after repeated extraction cycles allow 10–15 minutes for contents to settle before opening. Never try to open a warm or hot cup.
Why is the panel flashing?

More than 6 consecutive blend cycles in 6 minutes, or overheating, can make the panel flash continuously. Unplug and allow at least 15 minutes to cool before trying again.

Why are the cup controls not visible?

Check the powered outlet and twist the cup/blade assembly onto the base until it clicks securely.

Why will the processor or grinder not start?

For the processor, check the outlet, bowl click-lock and alignment of the lid arrows; if those are correct, allow at least 30 minutes for the thermal breaker to cool. For the grinder, check that the outlet has power and the attachment has clicked into place; an unexpected overheat stop needs approximately 15 minutes of cooling.

What if an attachment will not stop?

Unplug the power cord, then wait for all blade movement to stop before removing the processor or grinder attachment.

NutriBullet 600 Mega Pack

To blend, turn the sealed cup upside down onto the motor base and gently push down and twist. To unlock it, gently push and untwist the cup anticlockwise.

How do I start and unlock it?
  • Twist the extractor blade onto the filled cup until it is tightly sealed, and plug the base in.
  • Turn the cup upside down onto the motor base, then gently push down and twist.
  • Wait until the motor has completely stopped, then gently push and untwist the cup anticlockwise to unlock it.
How long should I blend?
  • Do not blend continuously for more than one minute. One minute is usually enough for smooth, creamy results.
  • Before another cycle, let the contents settle for 2–3 minutes. Check the cup is not hot or warm, carefully open it to release pressure, then tighten it again.
Can I pulse by pressing the cup up and down?
  • This is not recommended. Pressing the cup and blade down and up on the actuators bypasses the cup-locking safety features.

NutriBullet Turbo 1000 Deluxe Set

Lock the assembled cup clockwise to start the automatic 45-second cycle; turn it anticlockwise to stop early, with no separate program-button press.

  2. Invert the cup onto the base and turn clockwise until an audible click locks it. Locking starts the automatic 45-second cycle, which stops by itself.
  3. To stop before the cycle ends, carefully turn the cup anticlockwise, then wait until the blades stop before lifting the cup off.
  4. To begin another cycle, unlock the cup anticlockwise and refit and lock it clockwise. Do not run more than 3 consecutive 45-second intervals.
  5. After the blade stops, turn anticlockwise until the cup clicks free and remove it. Never force open a warm or stuck cup: leave its contents to settle for at least 30 minutes and cool before trying to open it.
