Frequently Asked Questions - JM210A JUICEMAN

How do I clean the Juiceman JM210A juicer?

Unplug the juicer. Remove all parts except the motor base. Wash removable parts in warm soapy water; a few parts are dishwasher safe (top rack only). Do not immerse the motor base. Use a brush to clean the blade basket's tiny holes. Soak stained parts in a solution of biodegradable soap, bleach, vinegar, or baking soda. Let all parts air dry.

What should I do if the juicer stops working?

First, try a different wall outlet. If it still doesn't work, let the juicer sit for about an hour; moisture on the circuit board may have caused a shutdown. If the problem persists, call Consumer Service at 1-800-233-9054.

Can I juice bananas with the JM210A?

No, bananas are not suitable for juicing in this model. They produce a thick residue that can clog the micro-mesh screen and prevent clear juice extraction.

Why is there pulp in my juice?

Pulp in juice is usually caused by juicing too quickly, which leads to excessive pulp buildup inside the cover and juice bowl. Try juicing more slowly, and ensure the pulp basket is emptied regularly.

How do I assemble the Juiceman JM210A?

Ensure the juicer is unplugged. Place the juice bowl on the motor base, aligning tabs. Insert the blade basket onto the hub and press down. Place the cover with the pulp ejection opening at the back. Swing the clamps up and snap them into place. Finally, position the pulp basket behind the juicer.

What speeds should I use for different foods?

Use HIGH speed for hard produce like carrots, beets, and pineapple (with rind). Use LOW speed for soft produce like apples, citrus, grapes, melons, and tomatoes. You can switch speeds without turning off the machine.

The blade basket is stuck. What should I do?

If the blade basket is difficult to insert or remove, try seating it on a different hub position. To remove, turn the juice bowl clockwise. Ensure the blade basket is properly aligned before use.

Is the Juiceman JM210A dishwasher safe?

The juice bowl, juicer cover, and blade basket may be washed on the top rack of a dishwasher occasionally. However, daily hand washing with warm tap water is recommended. Never put the motor base in water.

What does the thermal safety switch do?

The thermal safety switch automatically shuts off the juicer if it overheats. If this happens, press the OFF button, unplug the machine, and let it cool down before resuming use.

How do I store the juicer?

Unplug and clean the juicer before storing. Store it in its box in a clean, dry place. Never store it while hot or plugged in. Wrap the cord around the feet, but do not wrap it tightly around the appliance.

YOUR JUICEMAN® PROFESSIONAL SERIES 210

PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ILLUSTRATIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

The Juiceman® Jr. comes almost completely assembled in the box. We suggest taking it apart and washing the removable parts in warm water with a biodegradable, non-abrasive liquid detergent before the first use. This will eliminate any traces of dust or residue from manufacturing or shipping.

NOTE: Your Juicer may be shipped with a protective cardboard insert between the Feed Tube and Cutter Blade (on the Blade Basket). Remove this and any other protective packaging before using your Juicer.

CAUTION: Never rinse or immerse the Motor Base in water or any other liquid.

NOTE: Refer to the Fresh Juice Recipes & Menu Planner for juice recipes, pulp recipes, sample menus, and tips on buying, cleaning and storing.

- Make sure the Blade Basket is securely seated and the Pulp Basket is at the rear of the Juicer, ready to catch pulp. To save cleaning time, line the Pulp Basket with a plastic produce bag (the kind you put your produce in at the grocery store).

- Place a glass underneath the Juice Spout.

- Read assembly and disassembly directions. Make sure the Juicer is properly and completely assembled. The Juicer will not turn on unless properly assembled.

PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR YOUR JUICER

- Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush. If you are not using organic produce, we recommend using a biodegradable cleaner to help remove pesticide residue.

- Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any waxed fruit or vegetable.

- Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.

- The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter and is difficult to digest.

- Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top of the Feed Tube while juicing. The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears, and peaches should also be removed.

- Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the Feed Tube. Use the Food Pusher to gently direct produce through the Tube. NEVER PUSH PRODUCE INTO THE FEED TUBE WITH YOUR FINGERS.

- Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into a small, tight ball and pushed through with either a carrot or the Food Pusher.

- Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them and residue left in the machine can clog the micro-mesh screen. Produce such as apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes should be firm for best results when juicing.

CONTROL PANEL

Your Juiceman® Professional Series 210 has a unique control panel, offering two speed options. These two speeds ensure optimal rpm to provide maximum juicing efficiency (efficiency describes the amount of juice extracted from your produce).

HIGH SPEED

Best for harder produce, such as carrots, beets, and pineapple (with rind). Also recommended for leafy or stringy produce such as celery and greens.

LOW SPEED

Best for softer produce such as citrus, apples, grapes (with stems), melons, peaches (remove pit), and tomatoes. Also recommended for ripe produce that has become soft.

OFF

Press this Button to pause or turn your Juiceman® Professional Series 210 OFF.

TO TURN YOUR JUICEMAN® 210 ON:

• Make sure that your Juicer is completely and properly assembled. See ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
• Remove the Food Pusher from the Feed Tube.
• Press HIGH Speed Button for harder produce.
• Press LOW Speed Button for softer produce.
• Place produce into the Feed Tube and gently direct through the Feed Tube and Blade Basket with the Food Pusher.
• When juicing a combination of hard and soft produce, such as carrots and apples, you will want to use HIGH speed for the carrots and LOW speed for the apples. You do not have to turn the machine OFF to change speeds. Simply press the appropriate Speed Button for each type of produce being juiced.

Tip: Try alternating types of produce to ensure maximum efficiency.

TO TURN YOUR JUICEMAN® 210 OFF:

- Press the OFF Button. Unplug the Juicer from the outlet when not in use.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING YOUR JUICER

- Unplug from outlet before assembling or removing parts and before cleaning.

Do not immerse the Motor Base in water or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth, or paper towel. Use any liquid dishwashing detergent but do not use any products containing ammonia or scouring powders. These products will dull, scratch or mar the plastic surface.

- All parts (except the Motor Base) are washable in warm, soapy water. Please follow the procedures outlined in the DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS section of this Instruction Manual. To clean the Juicer Cover and Juice Bowl, we recommend using a fruit and vegetable brush with natural fibers.

DO NOT USE A METAL BRUSH OR PAD.

- When cleaning the Blade Basket, use the brush to make sure the tiny holes in the Basket are not clogged. This can be accomplished by holding the Blade Basket under a running faucet while brushing the Basket holes from both inside and outside the Blade Basket.

PLEASE NOTE:

- Occasionally, the Juice Bowl, Juicer Cover, and Blade Basket may be washed in a dishwasher, only if they are placed on the top shelf of the dishwasher. However, washing with ordinary warm (not hot) tap water on a daily basis should be sufficient.

- Sponge off the Motor Base and the legs underneath if any juice has spilled under the Juicer. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice from inside the Motor Hub on top of the Motor Base.

Juicer should be air-dried only!

Clean Your Juicer Thoroughly Before Retiring For The Day

Due to the powerful staining properties of the carotenoids that are found in many vegetables, especially carrots, we suggest the following cleaning procedures:

• Stained parts may be soaked overnight in any 1 of these 4 cleaning solutions:
  (1) biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover Juicer parts
  (2) 1/4 cup bleach to sink full of warm water
  (3) 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
  (4) 1/2 small box baking soda in enough warm water to cover parts.

- Never use ammonia or abrasives.

- Lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid detergent after soaking.

- NEVER SUBMERGE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID!

CLEANING YOUR JUICER (Continued)

Any other servicing should be performed by authorized personnel only

After cleaning and reassembly is complete, your new Juicer is ready to go to work! Before starting, make sure the Blade Basket is securely seated and the Pulp Basket is at the rear of the Juicer to receive pulp. The pulp from your Juicer can be used in many different applications such as breads, muffins, cakes, soup stocks, compressed facial packs and garden compost material. Refer to the Fresh Juice Recipes & Menu Planner for juice recipes, pulp recipes, sample menus, and tips on buying, cleaning and storing. Unplug unit and allow to cool. Clean the Juicer following the procedures described in this Instruction Manual.

STORAGE

Unplug unit and clean before storing. Store in its box in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot or still plugged in. Wrap cord around feet to store. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on the cord where it enters the unit, as it could cause the cord to fray and break.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom	Possible Correction
Pulp builds up excessively in the back of the Juicer Cover.	Try juicing slower, as wet produce is more likely to build up in Cover. To release pulp, lightly tap on the side of the Cover. Empty Pulp Basket if full.
Bottom of Feed Tube is damaged.	Blade Basket may not have been seated correctly, causing it to become unseated during use. Should this be the case, check the gear teeth of the Blade Basket and the Motor Base for damage. If any teeth are damaged, call Consumer Service at [phone].
Blade Basket is difficult to:• insert onto the Hub;• remove from the Hub.	Snug seating is desirable. To insert, try seating the Blade Basket on a different Hub position. To remove, turn Juice Bowl in a clockwise direction.
Too much pulp builds up on Blade Basket.	This may be an isolated situation resulting from the varied texture and moisture content of the produce. Stop juicing, scrape off pulp and begin again, alternating types of produce.
Excessive noise or vibrations occur after Juicer is turned on.	Pulp may have built up on the Blade Basket. Clean the Blade Basket and try alternating different types of produce while juicing.NOTE: Because of the Juiceman's powerful motor, a small amount of noise and/or vibration is normal when the Juicer is turned on and as it comes to a complete stop. All Juicers sound slightly different.
Juice sprays out of the Spout.	Juice the produce as slowly as possible. Keep the Pulp Basket emptied for good air flow through machine.
Juice leaks between Juice Bowl and Cover.	Juice slowly so that the Blade Basket does not full up too quickly with juice. Keep Pulp Basket emptied to allow good air flow through the machine.
Pulp in juice.	Juice slowly to avoid excessive pulp buildup inside the Cover and Juice Bowl.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued)

Symptom	Possible Correction
Inside rim of Juice Bowl is worn or chipped (inside lower rim or inside upper rim).	Improper fit between the Blade Basket and Hub can cause parts of the Juice Bowl to rub against the Blade Basket. If this is the case, call Consumer Service at [phone].
Wet pulp.	Juice at LOW Speed Setting. Certain produce (pineapples and overripe produce) may build up on Blade Basket, causing pulp to eject before juice is completely extracted. Fruit tends to produce wetter pulp than vegetables. If problem persists, rinse Blade Basket.
Juicer stopped while juicing.	Try a different wall outlet. Also let Juicer sit for about an hour without turning it on; moisture may have collected on the circuit board, causing machine to shut OFF. If situation is not resolved, call Consumer Service at [phone].
Juicer does not turn ON.	Try a different wall outlet. Also, try using both the HIGH and LOW Speed Buttons. Check the Juicer Cover, Blade Basket, and Juice Bowl to see if they are properly seated, making sure that the column is completely aligned and the safety switch is engaged.
