Care and Cleaning

1. Unplug from outlet.

2. Discoloration of the plastic may occur with some fruits and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash all parts immediately after use.

3. All removable parts are dishwasher-safe.

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.

Always treat the Strainer Basket with care; it can be damaged easily. 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.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

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

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 select models) 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.

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 berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers, and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.

Juicing Tips, Techniques, and Recipes (cont.)

Preparing Fruits and Vegetables:

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

Using the Pulp:

• The remaining pulp left after juicing fruits or vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose which, like the juice, contain vital nutrients necessary for the daily diet and can be used in many ways. Pulp can be frozen for later use.
• There are a number of recipes that use pulp. You can also use pulp to thicken casseroles or soups.
• Pulp is great used in the garden for compost.

Soy Milk, Almond Milk, and Rice Milk:

This Juice Extractor may be used to make soy milk, almond milk, and rice milk. Follow these steps:

1. Soak 1 cup (237 ml) of soybeans, almonds, or rice in 4 cups (946 ml) of water for 8 to 12 hours covered in the refrigerator.
2. Drain nuts and discard water. Cover nuts, beans, or rice with 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) fresh water.
3. Slowly ladle the nuts, beans, or rice with the water into the Feed Chute.
4. Place cheesecloth in a container. Pour mixture into a tight woven cheesecloth and let stand until completely drained. Squeeze cheesecloth, if necessary. Refrigerate milk immediately.

NOTES:

• Almonds must be soaked 8 to 12 hours before juicing.
• Soy milk should be boiled to improve the flavor.
• Vanilla, honey, and sugar may be added to enhance the flavor of each milk type.

Test Kitchen Tip: Use just the seeds of a pomegranate for juicing since the membranes will make the juice bitter. To deseed the pomegranate, start by cutting a thin slice from the bottom to make it stable for cutting. Cut out the core at the top. Make shallow cuts to section into 6 wedges. Gently break the pomegranate apart and pry the seeds out with your fingers. Pomegranate juice can stain, so we suggest wearing gloves and something like an old T-shirt. Work over a bowl to catch the seeds and drips before placing in the juice extractor.
