How to clean the stainless steel filter?

Use the provided cleaning brush to remove pulp from the small holes. Rinse the filter under running water while brushing inside and outside. Avoid metal scouring pads.

Why does the appliance strain during extraction?

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 2 until ready to use.
- Store perishable vegetables in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Preparing Fruits and Vegetables for the Juice Extractor:

• 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 all citrus fruits, including oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, tangerines.

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

Hint: Although the skin may be left on melons and pineapple, 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 apricots, cherries, nectarines, mangoes, peaches, plums, melons
• Remove and discard outer leaves of non-organic produce. Peel away any wax coatings.
• 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 and clean and dry. See the CARE AND CLEANING instructions section of the manual.

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

FOR OPTIMUM JUICING

• Avoid excessive build up of pulp on the underside of the lid.
• Remove rind of melons; because they are so thick, they water down drinks.
• Refrigerate washed ripe fruits and vegetables until ready to use.

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.

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 the appliance following the instructions for disassembly.

Tip: Pulp from integrated pulp container can be used in many different ways: making breads, muffins, cakes, soup stocks, compressed facial packs and garden compost material. See USES FOR THE PULP.

1. Using a sponge or damp cloth, clean the base, feet and underside of the appliance. If necessary, you may use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice from the inside the motor 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.

1. All 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.

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:

2. Biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover juice extractor parts

3. cup bleach added to a sink full of warm water
4. 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
5. small box of baking soda in enough warm water to cover juicer parts.
