The plug fits only one way into a grounded 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 into the outlet, 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. The extension cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. 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.

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

9. 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.9 Juicing Tips and Techniques 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 for best 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. 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:

Your juice extractor may be used to make soy milk, almond milk, and rice milk. One cup (237 ml) of soybeans, almonds, or rice must be soaked in 4 cups (946 ml) of water for 24 to 48 hours in the refrigerator. Slowly pour 1 cup (237 ml) of the soaked mixture at a time into the food chute. The liquid extracted from the soaked mixture is the “milk.”

Almonds must be soaked 24 to 48 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. NOTES:

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 approximately 15 minutes. Plug machine back in to resume normal operation. USING THE CORRECT SPEED: HI – fruit and vegetables with higher fiber content, i.e., carrots, cabbage, apples. LO – fruit and vegetables with high water content, i.e., tomato, watermelon, oranges.10 Troubleshooting Machine will not work when switched ON.

• The locking arm may not be correctly engaged. Check to see if the locking arm is in its proper position. Refer to page 6.

• 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. Motor appears to stall when juicing.

• 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 juicer cover and strainer basket. Pulp is too wet and insufficient juice is produced.

• 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 page 8. Juice sprays out of spout.

• Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Refer to page 6, Step 3.

• Make sure the juice pitcher with lid is placed under the spout. Juice drips out of spout immediately after juicing.

• With motor on, raise and lower food pusher in feed chute several times. The action forces remaining pulp and juice out of strainer bowl. Machine vibrates excessively.

• Buildup of pulp in mesh of strainer basket. Turn unit OFF ( ) and unplug. Clean strainer basket. Refer to page 8. If machine vibration continues after cleaning, this could be a sign of a damaged strainer basket. Call our toll-free customer service number to order a new strainer basket. Juice leaks out the side of the pitcher when pouring.

• The pitcher may have been overfilled. Do not exceed the MAX fill line. Juice leaks onto the motor base when removing the juicing bowl for cleaning.

• Before removing the juicing bowl, tilt the spout into the juice pitcher to empty any residual juice.11 Notes12 Hamilton Beach 5-Year Limited Warranty This warranty applies to products purchased and used in the U.S. and Canada.
