of the filter are extremely sharp! Always hold

and carry the filter by the rim.

6. Grasp the sides of the juice bowl with both

PREPARATION

How to prepare fruits and vegetables for juicing.

Purchasing and Storing Ingredients:

• Always use fresh fully ripened fruits and vegetables.

• When purchasing, consider selecting fruits and vegetables in season for best

freshness and flavor.

• Choose fruits that are plump, tender and have bright color. Fruits should be

heavy for their size without bruises, cuts or blemishes.

• To ripen fruit, place in a small clean paper bag. Close the bag loosely and let

stand at room temperature. (To speed ripening, add a ripe apple or banana to the

bag.) Once ripened, store in the refrigerator for a day or two until ready to use.

• Store perishable vegetables in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Preparing Fruits and Vegetables:

• Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly just before using in the juice extractor

using a natural bristle brush and a biodegradable cleaner to help remove

pesticide residue.

• If desired, remove the skin. The skin may be left on all produce with the

exception of:

o All citrus fruits, including

• Oranges • Grapefruit • Lemons • Limes • Tangerines

o Papaya

Note: The oil in the skin of these fruits tastes bitter and is difficult to digest. When

removing skin from citrus fruits, remove the white pith, as well, to keep finished

juices from tasting bitter.

Hint: Although the skin may be left on melons, you may choose to remove them to

maximize the fruit flavor in the finished drink.

• All pits and large seeds should be removed from fruits, including:

o Apricots o Cherries o Nectarines o Mangoes

o Peaches o Plums o Melons o Papaya

•

Remove and discard outer leaves of non-organic produce. Peel away any wax coatings.

M

N

P

• Trim any bruised or discolored sections of fruits and vegetables.

• The design of the feed chute accommodates larger produce. It will easily

accommodate most whole fruits and vegetables, such as, apples, beets, carrots

and celery. If necessary, cut into large pieces before inserting into feed chute.

• Be sure all parts of the juice extractor are clean and dry. See the CARE AND

CLEANING instructions.

USING YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR

1. Assemble the fruits and/or vegetables to be used on the counter or in a bowl next

to the extractor.

2. Place the juice pitcher, a clean measuring cup or a glass under the spout.

3. Be sure the pulp container is in place.

Note: When using the appliance, do not allow the pulp container to overfill. This may

cause the appliance to stall.

4. Plug appliance into standard electrical outlet.

5. Turn the power to the low setting (1) and allow it to run 10 seconds.

6. Select the low speed (1) for soft-to-medium textured fruits and vegetables; use

the high speed (2) for hard foods, such as, carrots, beets and broccoli.

7. Insert the fruits and/or vegetables into the feed chute and use the food pusher as

a guide to gently direct the produce through the feed chute. To get the most juice

from the fruits and vegetables, do not rush the food through the appliance.

Note: Never place fingers or hands into the feed chute.

8. The juice extractor will automatically separate the juice and pulp.

Important: Both the juice pitcher and pulp container can be emptied at any time.

Always turn the dial to off (0) and allow the motor to come to a complete stop before

emptying either. Be sure to replace both containers before resuming extraction.

9. When juicing is complete, turn the dial to off (0) and wait for the motor to come

to a complete stop. Allow all remaining juice to drip into juice pitcher before

removing it.

Tip: You can tip your juice extractor forward to help the remaining juice drain from the

juice bowl. Simply unplug, grip the base close firmly with both hands close to the top

and tip forward until all juice has drained.

10. Unplug appliance and follow directions under DISSASEMBLING YOUR JUICE

EXTRACTOR.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Do not put food into the extractor before turning the appliance on.

• For best results, refrigerate fruits and vegetables before juicing.

• Let the appliance run for at least 10 seconds before placing any food into the feed

chute.

• Do not let the juice pitcher or pulp container overfill while using the machine. Turn

the appliance off, wait for the motor to stop running and any juice to stop flowing.

Empty the juice pitcher and/or pulp container. Be sure they are properly replaced

before resuming operation of the extractor.

• For easy cleanup, place a plastic bag inside the pulp container before using the

appliance.

• Do not process bananas, avocados or coconut. They have no juice and will clog the

appliance.

• Be sure to remove all pits and large seeds from fruits.

• To make delicious citrus juice, peel the fruit, removing all the white pith.

Refrigerate until cold and process the fruit through the extractor for a great drink.

• For maximum nutritional benefits, drink your processed juice right away.

FOR OPTIMUM JUICING

• Avoid excessive build up of pulp on the underside of the cover lid.

• Use the pusher as a guide. Do not use excessive force. Food allowed to flow slowly

through the extractor produces more juice.

USES FOR THE PULP

The pulp from the fruits and vegetables is high in nutritional value. Use it to add fiber

and flavor to muffins and quick breads. Use it to thicken soups, casseroles and sauces.

Use fruit pulp to add nutrition and flavor to desserts, such as puddings and cakes. Be

sure to use it the same day you extract the juice.

Pulp is also food for your garden. You can use it as compost.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to

modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to

prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric

shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized

service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be

provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available

and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or

extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the

appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a

grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

over.

Note: If the power-supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by

qualified personnel, or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

CARE AND CLEANING

This product contains no user-serviceable

parts. Refer service to qualified service

personnel.

Important: Always unplug your juice

extractor from the outlet before cleaning.

CLEANING

1. Disassemble your juice extractor following

the instructions in DISSASSEMBLING

YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR.

2. Using a sponge or damp cloth, clean the

base, rubber feet and underside of the

juice extractor. If necessary, you may use

a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice

from the inside the drive shaft (on top of

motor base).

Important: Do not immerse the base in

water or spray with water. Clean only by

wiping with a damp sponge, cloth or paper

towel.

3. All juicer parts – except the base – are

dishwasher-safe (top-rack only) or you

may wash in warm, soapy water, using

any mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Do

not use any products containing ammonia

or scouring powders, as these can dull,

scratch or mar the surface. Use the

cleaning brush provided to remove pulp

left on any of the removable parts. Do not

use metal brushes or pads.

4. To clean the food pusher properly, remove

the center cap in the cover of the food

pusher. To remove, grasp cap and lift

directly out of food pusher, using the

notch for leverage. Once parts are dry,

replace the cap.

5. To clean the filter, use cleaning brush

provided to make sure tiny holes in

mesh filter are not clogged. This can be

accomplished by holding filter basket

under a running faucet while brushing the

mesh filter screen from both the inside

and outside of the filter mesh.

REMOVING TOUGH STAINS

1. Due to powerful staining properties of

carotenoids found in many vegetables,

particularly carrots, we suggest soaking

any stained parts overnight in one of the

following solutions:

• Biodegradable soap in enough warm

water to cover juice extractor parts

• ¼ cup bleach added to a sink full of warm

water

• 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar

• ½ small box of baking soda in enough

warm water to cover juicer parts

Important: Never use ammonia or abrasive

cleansers!

2. After soaking overnight, lightly scrub with

soft bristle brush and liquid detergent.

STORAGE

Store your juice extractor in a clean, dry

place. Never wrap cord tightly around the

appliance. Do not put any stress on cord

where it enters juicer, as this could cause

cord to fray and break.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM

Important: This appliance contains a PTC

overheat protection system. When the

appliance is being operated for too long or

with too much load, the PTC protector will

shut down the power of the appliance to

protect the unit. If the power shuts down,

unplug for 15 minutes and plug in for

normal operation.
