Frequently Asked Questions - JM300CAN JUICEMAN

How to assemble the JM300CAN juicer correctly?

Ensure the appliance is unplugged. Place the juice bowl on the base, spout to the right. Insert the stainless steel filter basket onto the hub until it clicks. Put the cover on, aligning the pulp ejection outlet with the pulp spout. Attach the funnel by turning it to the left until marks align. Lower the cover locking lever while pressing the safety lock button. Finally, place the pulp container and juice pitcher.

Which speeds to use for which foods?

Use High speed (2) for hard fruits and vegetables: carrots, beets, pineapple (with skin), ginger. Use Low speed (1) for soft foods: apples, grapes (with stems), melons, peaches (without pit), tomatoes, citrus fruits.

What to do if the appliance does not start?

The juicer will not operate if the cover locking lever is not properly engaged or if the pulp container is not in place. Check that all parts are assembled correctly. If the problem persists, unplug for 15 minutes to reset the overheating protection system.

How to clean the filter basket?

Use the included cleaning brush. Hold the basket under warm running water while brushing inside and outside to loosen residue from holes. You can also wash it in the dishwasher (top rack). Avoid metal brushes and abrasive pads.

Can I put the parts in the dishwasher?

Yes, removable parts (except the motor base) can go in the top rack of the dishwasher. However, washing with warm soapy water after each use is sufficient.

How to remove stubborn stains from plastic parts?

Soak stained parts overnight in a solution of hot water with biodegradable detergent, diluted bleach (60 ml per sink), cider vinegar, or baking soda. Then scrub with a soft brush and liquid detergent. Never use ammonia or abrasives.

What to do if the appliance suddenly turns off?

It's the CTP overheating protection system that cuts off power. Unplug the appliance for at least 15 minutes, then plug it back in. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Can I juice bananas?

No, juicing bananas is not recommended as they do not produce clear juice and residue clogs the fine strainer. Use firm fruits like apples, carrots, or beets for best results.

How to use the food pusher?

Insert the pusher into the funnel aligning the groove with the inner ridge. Gently push food with the pusher without forcing. Never use fingers to push food.

What to do with the pulp after juicing?

The pulp can be reused to make bread, muffins, cakes, broths, face masks, or compost for the garden. To reduce cleaning, you can line the pulp container with a plastic bag.

SPEED SELECTION

This juicer has two speed options: LOW (1) and HI (2). These two speeds ensure optimal RPM level, for maximum juicing efficiency (efficiency describes amount of juice extracted from produce). Speeds are selected simply by turning the control dial to the desired setting.

HI (2)

Best for harder produce: carrots, gingerroot, beets and pineapple (with rind).

LOW (1)

Best for softer produce: citrus fruits, apples, grapes (with stems), melons, peaches (put removed) and tomatoes. This speed setting is also recommended for ripe produce that has become soft.

OFF (0)

Turns juicer off.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Your juicer comes partly assembled in the box. We suggest taking it apart and washing any removable parts in warm water with a biodegradable, nonabrasive liquid detergent before first use. This will eliminate any traces of dust or residue left from manufacturing and shipping.

Note: Be sure to remove all protective packaging before using your juicer.

Caution: Never rinse or immerse motor base in water or any other liquid.

Refer to ASSEMBLY and DISASSEMLBY INSTRUCTIONS. Make sure juicer is properly and completed assembled before use. Juicer will not turn on unless properly assembled.

PREPARATION

Preparing fruits and vegetables for juicing

• 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 outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel away waxing.
• Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.

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

• Remove melon seeds, when possible, as they may escape through top of feed tube when juicing. Pits of fruits such as cherries, pears and peaches should also be removed.

• Your juicer is designed to make juicing easier with an oversized feed tube to accommodate larger produce, so you may feed most whole apples and oranges, tangerines, ginger, beets, pineapple or melons. Make sure produce can be fed comfortably into feed tube. Use food pusher to gently direct produce through feed tube.

Caution: Never push produce into 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 food pusher.
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; clear juice cannot be obtained, and residue left in the machine can clog micromesh filter screen.
• Produce such as apricots, plums, pears, peaches and tomatoes should be firm, for best results when juicing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure juicer is completely and properly assembled (see ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS). Filter basket should be securely seated and pulp basket should be in place at the rear of juicer, ready to catch pulp.

Tip: To reduce cleaning time, line pulp basket with a plastic produce bag (the kind you put your produce in at the grocery store).

1. Place juice pitcher underneath juice spout.
2. Plug juicer into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Turn control dial to the desired speed setting (1 or 2) and begin juicing.

Important: Juicer will not operate if lid locking lever is not properly engaged.

Note: You may alternate between speeds while juicing, depending on the appropriate settings for the various products being juiced (see SPEED SELECTION).

1. Remove food pusher from feed tube.
2. With motor running, place produce into feed tube.
3. Reinsert food pusher into feed tube by aligning the groove on the food pusher with the ridge inside the feed tube.
4. Use food pusher to gently direct food down feed tube.

Note: To extract the maximum amount of juice, press down gently on food pusher. Do not force down.

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

1. Once you have finished juicing, turn control dial to OFF (0). Be sure to unplug juicer from the outlet, when not in use.

TIPS FOR OPTIMUM JUICING
To avoid excessive pulp buildup on the inside of the lid...	Try juicing slower, as wet produce is more likely to build up on the lid. To release pulp, lightly tap on side of lid. Always empty pulp basket when it becomes full. This will also help prevent pulp from leaking into juice.
If excessive noise or vibrations occur once juicer is turned on...	Pulp may have built up on filter basket. Clean filter basket and try alternating different types of produce while juicing. Note: Due to its powerful motor, a small amount of noise and/or vibration is normal when juicer is turned on, and as it comes to a complete stop. All juicers will sound slightly different.
To manage the amount of spray as juice pours out the juice spout...	Juice produce as slowly as possible to avoid excess pulp buildup inside the lid and juice bowl. Keep pulp basket emptied for good air flow through the machine.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Important: Always make sure juicer is unplugged before starting to assemble.

Step 1: Place juice bowl

Position the juice bowl over the motor base with the juice spout to the right. Lower juice bowl onto motor base so that juice spout slides through the oval ring on the motor base.

Step 2: Place filter basket

With both hands, grasp rim of filter basket and center it over motor base hub inside the juice bowl. Carefully lower filter basket onto hub, rotating slightly until it drops into place; press firmly down on rim of filter basket to secure (be sure to apply equal pressure to both sides of filter basket, to ensure proper seating). When seated properly, filter basket will spin freely and will not lift out of the juice bowl.

Step 3: Place lid

Place lid on juice bowl so that the pulp ejection opening is positioned over the pulp spout.

Step 4: Attach feed tube

Center feed tube over lid opening so that the safety lock hook on the feed tube is slightly right of the arrow on the lid. Insert the three tabs located around bottom of the feed tube into three corresponding slots in the lid opening. Rotate feed tube counterclockwise until safety lock tab on feed tube aligns with the arrow on lid.

Step 5: Secure lid locking lever

While pressing down on safety lock button, swing lid locking lever upward until safety lock hook on the feed tube is engaged. Once the lid locking lever is fastened in place, release the safety lock button.

Important: Juicer will not operate if the lid locking lever is not properly attached.

Step 6: Position pulp basket

Slightly tilt pulp basket and place it directly beneath the pulp ejection opening. Push the bottom of pulp basket inward so top edge slides up, behind the pulp spout. Continue to press firmly on the bottom of the pulp basket until it fits snugly against the motor base. When correctly positioned, pulp basket will be completely covered by the lid.

Important: Juicer will not operate if the pulp basket is not properly placed against the motor base.

Step 7: Place juice pitcher

Slide froth separator into juice pitcher, then position pitcher beneath the juice spout. Be sure that the juice spout empties into the larger opening in the pitcher lid.

Storing & inserting food pusher

Store food pusher in feed tube until you are ready to juice. To insert, rotate food pusher until the groove in the food pusher is properly aligned with the ridge in the feed tube.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Important: Always make sure the juicer is unplugged before starting to disassemble.

Step 1: Release lid locking lever

While pressing down on safety lock button, swing lid locking lever away from feed tube. Release safety lock button.

Step 2: Remove lid

Grasp lid by the feed tube and lift to remove from juice bowl. Make sure to hold food pusher in place if it is being stored inside the feed tube, or – for easier cleaning – unlock feed tube by rotating clockwise and remove from the lid.

Step 3: Remove pulp basket

Grasp bottom of the pulp basket and pull it away from juicer, tilting slightly to release it from behind the pulp ejection spout.

Step 4: Remove juice bowl

Grasp sides of juice bowl with both hands. With filter basket still inside, carefully lift juice bowl off motor base, rotating slightly if necessary. The filter basket can then be removed from the juice bowl for cleaning.

Caution: Cutting blades are extremely sharp! Use care when handling filter basket.

CARE AND CLEANING

Important: Always unplug juicer from the outlet before assembly or disassembly, and before cleaning.

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

CLEANING YOUR JUICER

Juicer should be cleaned after every use. Make sure juicer is unplugged from the outlet; follow DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS before following cleaning instructions below.

1. Using a sponge or damp cloth, clean motor base, rubber feet and underside of juicer. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice from the inside the motor base hub (on top of motor base).

Important: Do not immerse motor base in water, or spray with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel.

1. All juicer parts – except motor base – are washable 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.
2. Use cleaning brush provided to scrub lid and juice bowl. Do not use metal brushes or pads.
3. To properly clean food pusher, remove circular 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 cap.
4. To clean filter basket, 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 inside and outside of filter basket.

Note: Occasionally any removable parts may be washed in a dishwasher, ONLY if they are placed on the top shelf. Washing in warm, soapy water after each use, however, should be sufficient.

Tip: Pulp from pulp basket can be used in many different ways: making breads, muffins, cakes, soup stocks, compressed facial packs and garden compost material.

REMOVING TOUGH STAINS

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 juicer parts
• 14 cup bleach added to a sink full of warm water
• 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
• 12 small box of baking soda in enough warm water to cover juicer parts.

NEVER USE AMMONIA OR ABRASIVES!

After soaking overnight, lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid detergent.

Important: Never submerge motor base in water or any other liquid! STORAGE

Store your juicer in its box, or in a clean, dry place. Never store juicer while it is still plugged in.

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.
