What’s Included
Description
Getting Started
- Make sure the Motor Base is plugged in for use. DO NOT attempt to operate the Pitcher on the appliance without attaching the Pitcher Lid and Vented Lid Cap.
- Never run the appliance while empty. Appliance accessories are not intended to be used in the microwave, as they may damage the microwave.
- Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
Never blend hot liquids when using any sealed nutribullet® Cups
Heated ingredients can pressurise sealed containers when agitated and violently expel hot contents upon opening. Always start the blending process with room temperature or refrigerated ingredients and liquids (21°C/70°F or cooler).
Use extra caution when blending hot liquids in the Pitcher.
Steam and splatters can escape through the vented lid, potentially causing scalding and/or burns. NEVER blend hot liquids in your pitcher without the Pitcher Lid and Vented Lid Cap attached. The Vented Lid Cap is ventilated to allow steam and pressure to release, while guarding against excess splashing. NEVER blend hot liquids in your nutribullet® Cups or any other sealed vessel.
When blending hot liquids, add liquid and solid ingredients to your Pitcher below their respective MAX lines. Attach the Pitcher Lid with the Vented Lid Cap inserted. Press the POWER icon, then begin blending on the LOW setting. Once ingredients are integrated and the mixture is level (no splashing), increase speed as needed.

Care & Maintenance
Cleaning the nutribullet® is easy. The Pitcher is dishwasher-safe, while the Cups and To-Go Lids are TOP RACK dishwasher-safe. The EasyTwist Extractor Blade and Motor Base can be quickly hand-washed with soap and water. Read on for best practices.
Here’s how to clean the NutriBullet
- Do not attempt to handle the appliance until all parts have stopped moving!
- Detach the nutribullet® Cup / Easy-Twist Extractor Blade or Pitcher from the Motor Base.
- Clean the individual components (Motor Base, Easy-Twist Extractor Blade, nutribullet® Cups) as recommended in the following pages.
MOTOR BASE
- Do not attempt to remove any pieces from the Motor Base.
- Use a sponge or dishcloth 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.
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 the buildup of residue.
- If food particles get stuck, use a small brush or sponge to target and dislodge them.
- 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 the 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 them in the dishwasher. NEVER use the sanitise cycle to wash the cups — heating this high can warp the plastic.
NUTRIBULLET® PITCHER
- NEVER use the sanitise cycle to wash the Pitcher — heating this high can warp the plastic.
- If preferred, hand-wash the Pitcher with soap and water.
- Stuck-on ingredients might require extra scrubbing from a dish brush or sponge.
- Regularly check the structure of the Pitcher and twisting threads for cracking, crazing, or breakage.
- If damaged, replace immediately to prevent possible personal injury.
- Doing so may cause the Pitcher and Motor Base to separate, exposing the blade assembly and potentially causing severe personal injury.
TAMPER
- Always hand-wash the Tamper with soap and water. Stuck-on ingredients might require extra scrubbing from a dish brush or sponge.

FAQs
Q: What can I make with the NBF50500 Combo Blender?
Smoothies, soups, nut butters, sauces, dips, frozen desserts, crushed ice, and blended drinks can all be made using the combo blender. For big quantities, use the full-size pitcher; for individual portions, use the personal cups.
Q: What blending containers come with the combo system?
The majority of combo models come with one or more personal cups with to-go lids and a full-size blending pitcher. Different batch sizes and textures are intended for each container.
Q: Can I blend hot ingredients?
Yes, but only in the full-size pitcher that has been vented. Hot liquids should never be put in single-serve cups because pressure buildup might be hazardous.
Q: Can the blender crush ice?
Indeed. Ice and frozen produce can be crushed by the 1200W motor. Before jogging at faster rates, add a little liquid and pulse for optimal effects.
Q: Can I use carbonated beverages in the cups?
No. Carbonated liquids can cause pressure buildup and lead to spills or damage. Stick to still liquids.
Q: Are the parts dishwasher-safe?
The majority of pitchers, lids, and cups are top-rack dishwasher safe. To keep blades sharp and avoid damaging gaskets, they should be cleaned by hand.
Q: Can I store beverages in the blending cups?
Indeed. To make storage and transportation easier, many cups come with to-go lids. Hot beverages should not be kept in sealed containers, though.
Q: Where can I buy replacement cups, blades, or gaskets for the NBF50500?
Both authorised stores and Nutribullet customer service provide parts. Make sure that every replacement indicates that it is compatible with the NBF50500 model.
