VENTILATION SAFETY
To prevent a re hazard, the openings on the bottom of the power base should be free of dust or lint and never
obstructed as they are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable motor operation to prevent overheating. Never
place your Magic Bullet on top of ammable materials such as newspapers, tablecloths, napkins, dishtowels, place
mats or other similar type of materials. Always operate the Magic Bullet on a level surface, leaving unobstructed
space beneath and around the power base to permit proper air circulation.
HEAT AND PRESSURE SAFETY
• DO NOT BLEND HOT INGREDIENTS OR LIQUIDS. Always start with room temperature or cooler
ingredients (21°C or less). Never put hot ingredients or hot liquids in any closed-top blending cup
before blending. The heat from the ingredients could cause pressure to build up in sealed cups causing
possible expulsion which may cause personal injury or property damage.
• NEVER ALLOW THE MAGIC BULLET
®
TO RUN MORE THAN ONE MINUTE at a time as it may result
in the contents overheating which can increase the pressure and may cause the container to burst,
resulting in possible personal injury or property damage. If you need to blend for longer, blend for
1-minute intervals allowing power base to shut off completely in between for 15 seconds. After 3
consecutive 1-minute intervals allow contents to settle for 2-3 minutes before continuing if necessary.
• The Magic Bullet has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the motor when it overheats. Unplug the
power base and let it cool down for an hour or more before using it again. The power base will reset when the
thermal breaker has cooled down sufciently.
• Never blend carbonated liquids or ingredients (i.e. baking soda, yeast etc.). Pressure from released gases can
cause the blending cup or blade to burst and resulting in possible injury.
• Don’t allow blended mixtures to sit in a sealed cup for long periods of time! Sugar in fruits and vegetables
could ferment. Built up pressure can cause ingredients to burst and spray out when opened.
• After blending, allow the contents to settle and release any pressure that may have built up during the
extraction process by slowly unscrewing the cup. Have the cup pointed away from your body!
NOTE
when making nut butters or oil-based foods: Due to its consistency the food will stick to the sides of the
cup during processing. Proceed in 20-30 second increments only by simply lifting the cup off the power base
between intervals. Tap the cup in combination with opening it to scrape down the ingredients to the center before
continuing to process the next increment. Allow your Magic Bullet to cool down for 10 minutes after 4-5 cycles to
prevent overheating and damaging the unit.
BLADE SAFETY to reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage
• Blades are sharp! Use care while handling the blades, do not touch the edges.
• Avoid contact with moving parts! Keep hands and utensils out of and away from the blade while blending
food. A scraper may be used, but only when the appliance is not running.
• Always inspect your blades before each use.
Magic Bullet blend blades are designed for blending and available for all models. Magic Bullet milling blades are
available for Magic Bullet and are ideal for turning dry ingredients into powders, e.g. milling oats, coffee beans,
cereals, sugar and crunching herbs, nuts and seeds.
Never store a blade in de power base without a blending cup attached! Never blend without liquid as
doing so may damage the blend blade!
TO PREVENT LEAKAGE
and to avoid the risk that residue builds up and damages the power base, always make
sure:
• the blade is undamaged and its gasket is completely seated in the blade;
• the blade is securely screwed onto the blending container BEFORE placing it on the power base
and operating the Magic Bullet
®
;
• the ingredients do not extend above the MAX line.
• NEVER BLEND WITHOUT LIQUID AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE BLEND BLADE.
• The Magic Bullet
®
is not intended to be used as an ice crusher or without liquids. To make cold drinks, we
suggest to use frozen fruit and chilled liquids. Alternatively, you may add crushed ice up to 25% of the total
cup volume, with water or other liquid lled up to the MAX line.
• DO NOT USE the blend blade for grinding dry ingredients such as grains, cereals, coffee beans etc. as this
may damage the motor and the blade.
