Select AUTO for a smooth blend, or choose a manual speed and use BLEND or PULSE to control the texture; stop the cycle before removing the vessel.
NutriBullet SmartSense Blender Combo
On the NutriBullet SmartSense Blender Combo, press Power, then choose AUTO for a smooth blend or select a speed with + or − and press BLEND to start and stop or PULSE for short bursts.
How do I select a program, change speed and stop?
- Fit the blending vessel. For the SmartSense Blender Combo, lock either the Pitcher with its Pitcher Lid and Vented Lid Cap fitted, or the Cup with its Extractor Blade tightly attached. Keep ingredients below the vessel’s MAX mark and use sufficient liquid; use only cool, non-fizzy ingredients in a sealed Cup.
- Set a speed. On the SmartSense Blender Combo, plug in and press Power to illuminate the controls. Use + or − to choose one of five manual speeds before starting. Adjust the speed with these buttons while blending if needed.
- Start manual blending or pulse. Press the solid-circle BLEND button to start and again to stop. For pulse control, select a speed and use the dashed-circle PULSE button: press and release for short bursts or hold it for a longer pulse.
- Use AUTO for a smooth result. Select AUTO for an automatic cycle that manages blending time and speed. Choose it for creamy smoothies, shakes and soups; use manual speed and Pulse for chunky salsa or dips. On the SmartSense Blender Combo, pressing AUTO again pauses or stops that cycle.
- Watch the display. The timer counts up during manual and AUTO blending; the SmartSense Blender Combo shows the speed above the timer. After ten minutes without use, the display enters sleep mode and shows “zzz”.
- Finish the SmartSense Blender Combo cycle. Its Cup stops automatically at 60 seconds; never extend a Cup blend beyond one minute. Allow Cup contents to settle for 10–15 minutes before a further cycle, releasing pressure slowly only once cool. Wait for the blades to stop, press Power to turn off, then twist the vessel counter-clockwise to unlock. Unplug before cleaning or changing attachments.
Which preparation gives the best AUTO result?
- For AUTO, add enough liquid to cover solid ingredients and let frozen-solid ingredients soften for 5–10 minutes. Hard or fibrous food may need two cycles: blend tough ingredients with liquid first, then add frozen ingredients for the second cycle. When using a SmartSense Blender Combo Cup, follow its rest time between cycles.
Which manual speed should I use with the SmartSense Blender Combo?
- Speed 1 (5,000 RPM): textured soups and stews.
- Speed 2 (7,000 RPM): salsa and chunky dips.
- Speed 3 (9,000 RPM): milkshakes, protein shakes and nut butters.
- Speed 4 (11,000 RPM): fruit smoothies, frozen drinks and purées.
- Speed 5 (25,000 RPM): tough fruit or vegetable smoothies, extra-creamy soups and no-strain nut milk.
What should I check if the controls do not blend?
- A flat line on the display means the vessel is not correctly attached. Stop and refit the Pitcher, or the SmartSense Blender Combo Cup, before trying BLEND or PULSE again.
- If the SmartSense Blender Combo motor stops from overheating, switch off, unplug and let the Motor Base cool for one hour before another attempt.
How do I control hot or thick mixtures in the SmartSense Blender Combo Pitcher?
- Use the vented Pitcher for hot or warm mixtures, with its Lid and Vented Lid Cap secured, clear vent slots and the spout closed. Start on LOW and increase speed only after the ingredients combine without splashing; keep hands away from escaping steam.
- To add ingredients during blending, open only the Vented Lid Cap, pour or drop them carefully without exceeding MAX, then replace the cap. Use only the supplied Tamper through that opening with the Pitcher Lid fitted. Stop the motor and wait for the blade before using a scraper.
