Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

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 2

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 cutter/strainer 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 cutter/strainer. Replace cutter/strainer when it shows signs of wear.

Important Information

- The juice extractor is manufactured for NORMAL HOUSEHOLD USE. If you have large quantities, such as 10 pounds or more, process in small batches, allowing motor to cool completely between uses.

- DO NOT OVERLOAD THE FOOD CHUTE. For best results, simply drop food pieces, one at a time, into chute. Gently and slowly press down with food pusher. This will extract the maximum amount of juice.

- If the juice extractor SEEMS TO STRUGGLE or slow down, turn the unit OFF (O) and unplug. Thoroughly wash the cutter/strainer and separator according to instructions. Reassemble and continue juicing.

Juicing Tips and Techniques

Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds from apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, etc. Remove rind from thick-skinned fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, tangerines, watermelons, pineapples, and winter squash.

- Juicing avocados or bananas produces a puree rather than a juice.

- Form leafy vegetables into compact balls or rolls before inserting into food chute.

- One pound of raw produce usually yields one cup (8 ounces) of juice.

- When working with large quantities of fruits and vegetables, be sure to stop unit to empty pulp bin as it begins to fill. The cutter/strainer should also be cleaned, since the extraction will decrease considerably.

- If you desire a clear juice, filter juice through layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter. This will also remove any foam which results during juicing.

- To keep juices from discoloring during storage, add a few teaspoons of lemon juice.

- Serve juices immediately, since the flavor and nutrient content decreases rapidly when juices are stored. If it is necessary to juice fruits and vegetables some time before serving, cover container tightly and refrigerate. Do not store for more than 24 hours.

- The flavor, color, and consistency of freshly juiced fruits will be different from canned juices.

- Substitute fruit or vegetable juices for stock or water in cooking.

- Some pulp remaining in juice is normal. It increases the juice's flavor and nutritional value.

- Potato juice can be used in place of cornstarch or flour as a thickening agent in gravies and soups.

- Vegetable juice mixed with carrot juice will produce a sweeter vegetable flavor.

- Freeze vegetable pulp for use in making soups.

- The softer the texture of a fruit or vegetable, the thicker the juice produced. Apricots, peaches, pears, melons, and strawberries are soft-textured fruits. The juice that is extracted from these fruits is very thick and is known as nectar. It is best to combine these juices with thinner juices, such as carrot or apple. Beet greens, parsley, spinach, and watercress yield very rich and thick juices. They are very strong-flavored and taste best when combined with other fruits and vegetables.

Cleaning and Storing

WARNING

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

To prolong the life of the juice extractor, it is recommended that all washable parts be washed immediately after each use.

The cutter/strainer is a very delicate screen subject to wear, and therefore is not covered under warranty. Do not wash in an automatic dishwasher. If bent or damaged, do not use, since it could break into small pieces and cause personal injury and/or damage the appliance. Call the toll-free customer service number to order a new cutter/strainer. Replace cutter/strainer when it shows signs of wear.

1. Turn OFF (O) and unplug from electrical outlet.
2. Empty pulp bin and juice container.
3. Unlock safety latches. Remove cover. Remove separator with cutter/strainer immediately after using. Do not let food dry and harden on the cutter/strainer. For hard-to-remove particles, use a plastic bristle brush or toothbrush.

4. Wash food pusher, cover, separator, pulp bin, and any juice container in hot, soapy water. Rinse, dry, and reassemble for storage. These parts may also be washed in the dishwasher.

5. DO NOT WASH the cutter/strainer in the dishwasher. The cutter/strainer teeth are sharp. Handle carefully. Wash the cutter/strainer in hot, soapy water. Rinse; then let dry.

6. Some foods may stain plastic parts. To treat stained parts, make a paste of baking soda and water and rub on stained area with a damp cloth. Rinse and dry.

NOTE: Carrots will stain the unit permanently.

1. Wipe outside of base with a damp cloth. Never immerse base in water.
