WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.

The strainer basket is a delicate screen. If bent or damaged, do not use, as it could break into small pieces and cause personal injury and/or damage the appliance. Call our toll-free customer service number to order a new basket. Replace basket when it shows signs of wear.

How to Assemble

BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking the juice extractor, remove cardboard from filter basket and wash everything except the base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately. Never immerse the base in water or other liquids; wipe it with a damp sponge.

Place strainer bowl on top of the motor base. Then place the stainless steel strainer basket inside the strainer bowl.

With hands on outer edge, press strainer basket down firmly to latch into position.

Place the juicer cover over the strainer bowl, positioning the feed chute over the strainer basket, and lower into position.

Raise the locking latches up to lock into place.

Place the pulp container into position by tilting the container slightly.

Place a glass or other container under the juice spout. Slide the food pusher down the feed chute by aligning the groove in the food pusher with the small ridge on the inside of the top of the feed tube.

HINT: To minimize cleanup, place a plastic grocery bag in the pulp container to collect the pulp. (See page 6 for more information.)

How to Use

Wash fruits and vegetables.

NOTE: Most fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, and cucumbers will not need to be cut since they will fit into feed chute whole. It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or mangoes are peeled before placing in unit to minimize impact on juice flavor.

WARNING

lazard.

Never use fingers to push food down the feed chute or to clear the feed chute. Always use the food pusher provided.

Ensure that unit is correctly assembled (see page 5) and place a glass or container under spout.

To minimize cleanup, place a plastic grocery bag in pulp container to collect pulp. When juicing is completed, simply remove grocery bag containing pulp.

NOTE: Do not allow pulp container to overfill since this may prevent correct operation or damage the unit.

Plug cord into 120-volt AC outlet.
Plug ON/OFF switch to ON.

With the motor running, place food down the feed chute. Using food pusher, gently guide food down feed chute. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push food pusher down slowly.

Juice will flow into glass and separated pulp will accumulate in pulp container.

NOTE: Pulp container can be emptied during juicing by turning juice extractor OFF and then carefully removing pulp container. (Replace empty pulp container before continuing to juice.)

How to Disassemble

Turn juice extractor OFF and unplug. Allow strainer basket to stop turning.

Release locking latches.

Move the locking latches down.

Lift off the cover.

Remove the pulp container by sliding away from motor base.

Lift off the strainer bowl with the strainer basket still in place.

To remove the strainer basket, turn the strainer bowl upside down and carefully remove the strainer basket. (It is recommended to remove the strainer basket over a sink.)

Care and Cleaning

WARNING

Shock Hazard.

Do not immerse motor base in water or any other liquid.

DO NOT use the "SANI" setting when washing in the dishwasher. "SANI" cycle temperatures could damage your product. Do not place the motor base in the dishwasher. Some part distortion may occur if your household dishwasher's temperature is higher than normal or if the parts are placed too close to the heating element.

CAUTION Laceration Hazard.

The center of the strainer basket contains small, sharp blades to process fruits and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not touch blades when handling the strainer basket. The cleaning brush included with the unit is the most effective way to clean the strainer basket. Using the brush, hold the strainer basket under running water and brush inside and outside of the basket. Always treat the strainer basket with care; it can be damaged easily. Discoloration of the plastic may occur with some fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash all parts immediately after use. To assist with cleaning, soak the strainer basket in hot, soapy water for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry on the basket it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh, thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juice extractor.

Juicing Tips, Techniques, and Recipes

PURCHASING AND STORING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:

Always wash fruits and vegetables before juicing.
Always use fresh fruits and vegetables for juicing.
- To save money and obtain fresher produce, purchase fruits or vegetables that are in season.
- Keep your fruits and vegetables ready for juicing by washing them before storing.
- Most fruits and hardier-type vegetables can be stored at cool room temperature. More delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers, and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.

PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:

• It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or mangoes are peeled before placing in juice extractor to minimize impact on juice flavor.
  All fruits with pits and large seeds such as nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, and cherries MUST be pitted before juicing.

HINT: Your juice extractor makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and juice. For best results, refrigerate oranges before juicing.

The following drink recipes yield a single serving of 6 to 10 ounces (175-300 ml). If sugar or honey is listed, add to juice after juicing.

PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

• The locking latches may not be correctly engaged. Check to see if the locking latches are properly positioned in the two grooves on either side of the juice cover. Refer to page 5, Steps 3 and 4.
• This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for 15 minutes. Plug machine back in after 15 minutes to resume normal operation.
• The juicing action may be too vigorous. Try slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Refer to page 6, Step 3.
• Wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover or pulp container. Turn unit OFF and unplug. Empty the pulp bin; then clean juice cover and strainer basket.
• Turn OFF and unplug. Remove strainer basket and clean mesh walls with a fine brush. This will remove excess fiber buildup which could be inhibiting the juice flow. Refer to pages 7 and 8.
  Try a slower juicing action.
• Turn OFF and unplug. Remove strainer basket and clean mesh walls with a fine brush. This will remove excess fiber buildup which could be inhibiting the juice flow. Refer to pages 7 and 8.
  Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Refer to page 6, Step 3.
