HOW TO USE
NOTE: Juice Extractor should be completely assembled before use.
• Make sure the switch is in OFF position. Insert plug into a wall outlet.
Use only voltage specified on bottom of unit.
• Clean fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Remove stems, large pits, stones and seeds from
apricots, grapes, plums and peaches. Apples may be processed with peelings and seeds.
Thick-skinned fruits such as pineapple should be peeled. Remove the white lower skin of
citrus fruit and the seed-lobes of paprika as these leave a bitter taste. This will minimize
collection of pulp and improve taste of juice. All fruits and vegetables should be cut into
pieces to fit into Cover opening.
• Form leafy vegetables into compact balls or rolls and feed into Cover opening.
• Make sure that the Juicing Basket revolves properly before placing the
ingredients in the Juice Extractor. It is normal for pulp to build up somewhat on the
Cover around the Juicing Basket when moist and leafy fruits and vegetables are juiced.
• Turn unit on. A clicking sound is normal as the Juicing Basket begins
turning. Place food into Cover opening slowly and steadily, using the Food Pusher.
Do not force the food into the Juicing Basket. This can cause basket to shift
and result in plastic shavings getting into the juice.
• When processing moist, leafy vegetables, the area between the basket rim and pulp storage
area may become clogged. If unit becomes clogged or vibrates excessively, switch to OFF
position, unplug cord, and allow Juicing Basket to stop completely. Simply loosen Cover
latches, remove Cover, and push pulp into storage compartment or empty completely.
Replace Cover and fasten with Cover latches. You are now ready to process another
quantity of juice.
• If a very large amount of juice is being made, and the pulp storage area becomes filled,
switch to OFF position, unplug cord and allow Juicing Basket to stop completely.
Empty Pulp Container and reassemble. You are now ready to process another
large quantity of juice.
CAUTION: UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING AND BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR
REMOVING PARTS. ALWAYS USE FOOD PUSHER TO AVOID INJURY.
CARE AND CLEANING
• DO NOT WASH THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER. After use, unplug cord and disassemble
unit and wash each part with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse well.
Remove pulp from Juicing Basket with rubber scraper before washing.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the motor base.
• After washing, dry all the parts, reassemble and store.
• Do not wash any parts in an automatic dishwater.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives, steel wool, acetone, alcohol, etc.
• Some foods, such as carrots, may stain plastic parts. A paste made from baking soda
and water may remove surface stains.
• Any other servicing required should be performed by an authorized service facility.
