4. Insert the juicing bowl into the fixed point of the housing.
   
5. Place the inner juice strainer into the outer juice strainer, together this is referred to as the juice strainer assembly.
   
6. Insert the juice strainer assembly firmly into the juicing bowl by pressing down on rim of the assembly, so it nests securely in place.
   
7. Place the auger into the juice strainer assembly by pressing down firmly, so it nests securely in place.
   
8. Install the cover onto the juicing bowl. Line up the arrow on the cover with the unlock symbol on the bowl. The cover should be seated evenly on the juicing bowl. Twist the cover clockwise until locked in place.
   
9. Place the juice container next to the unit under the juice spout, and place the pulp container under the pulp spout.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure your Slow Juicer is properly assembled.(See Assembly Instructions)
2. Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet.
3. Wash all selected fruits and vegetables.
4. Place fruits and vegetables into the feed tube with use of the pusher. Larger items can be added to the feed tube by lifting the hopper cap and placing directly on the plate hopper to juice.
5. While many fruits and vegetables will not need cutting, any item with a diameter larger than 2¾ inches will need to be cut.
6. Press ON when ready to begin.
   REVERSE: Use this when needing to clear the auger to avoid clogging of the juicing area.
7. The juice will flow into the juice container and the pulp will accumulate in the pulp container.
8. When finished juicing, press the STOP switch to stop the motor.

   1. When the machine is in reverse, gently press the lid to prevent the lid from becoming loose.
   2. If the machine is still not working, disassemble it and then wash before trying again..

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not immerse the motor base in water or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel. Use any liquid dishwashing detergent, but do not use any products containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.

For easy cleanup, remove excess pulp from the juice strainer and the lid after each use. Vegetables and fruits will harden if left to dry on the unit parts, making it harder to clean.

1. Unplug juicer and carefully take it apart, following Disassembly Instructions on this page.
2. Rinse all removable parts with cold water.
3. Wash the pulp container, juice container, cover, pusher, feed tube with hopper and juice strainer assembly in hot, sudsy water, or on top rack of dishwasher. Do not use a metal brush or pad.
4. Towel-dry all parts.
5. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

TIPS AND HINTS

• All nuts must be soaked prior to juicing.
• When making mixed juices and nut "milks," it is best to have the juice spout in the closed position to allow the juice/milk to self-mix prior to dispensing.
• Extracted juice captures about 95% of the nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking extracted juice is a fast and efficient way for your body to digest and absorb all of those nutrients. Digesting whole fruits can take about an hour; extracted juices take only 15 minutes.
• Freshly extracted juices are an excellent aid in weight management and in cleanses, which rid the body of toxins.
• Always use fresh, organic and seasonal produce. Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertilizers and chemicals, which is very important when juicing whole foods. Buying foods in season is considerably less expensive than purchasing off-season, and flavors are much better.
• Wash all fruits and vegetables immediately after purchasing and store them in the refrigerator. This way they are ready to juice at any time.
• Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables as soon as possible after purchasing. The longer produce is held, the more nutrients are lost.
• Fresh juices should be consumed immediately. They lose nutrients as they sit.
• Certain fruits should be peeled before juicing. Examples are pineapples, melons, mangoes, papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin that you cannot eat. Also remove all pits and hard seeds from peaches, cherries, mangoes, etc.
• Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, and rich in nutrients.
• If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.
• Juice the softer ingredients before the harder ones.
• When juicing herbs or leafy greens, juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients in order to extract the greatest amount of juice.
• Use your taste to guide you on fruit and vegetable combinations for juices. The recipes provided in this booklet are a guideline, but the possibilities are endless. Experiment to discover your favorite combinations.
• Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable juices, and apples do the same for fruit juices.
• Beets and carrots both have a naturally high sugar content, so when added to vegetable juices, they can balance out any bitter flavors juiced vegetables may have.
• Use your Slow Juicer in tandem with your blender. Blend fresh juices with ingredients like bananas, yogurt, and protein powders for delicious power smoothies.
• It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher version of your favorite cocktail with fresh juices.
• Blend fruit juices with sparkling water or seltzer to make a natural soda.
• The pulp that is separated from the juice has its own health benefits. It is high in fiber and can be used in a variety of ways. See our recipes as guides on how you can incorporate the fibrous pulp into your diet.
