IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE JUICER AND SAVE THEM FOR FUTURE USE!

• Do not use the appliance when the cord, plug or other components are damaged.
• If the cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent.
• This appliance is intended for household use only.
• Keep the appliance out of reach of children.
• Check the filter every time you want to use the appliance. If you detect any cracks or damage, do not use the appliance.
• Make sure all parts are correctly mounted before you switch on the appliance.
• Only use the appliance when the clamp is locked.
• Do not operate the juicer for more than 40 seconds at a time when juicing heavy loads, allowing sufficient cool down time between uses.
• NEVER reach into the feeding tube with your fingers or with an object while the appliance is running. Only the pusher is to be used for this purpose.
• Only unlock the clamp after you have switched the appliance off and the filter has stopped rotating.
• Do not touch the small cutting blades in the base of the filter.
• Always unplug the appliance after use.
• Never immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid.
  Do not rinse it either.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the juice collector into the appliance. Make sure the rim is flush with the motor unit.
   
2. Place the pulp container into the appliance by tilting it forwards slightly. Insert the top end first and then push down the bottom end.
   
   NOTE:
   While you are preparing juice, you can empty the pulp container by switching the appliance off and carefully removing the pulp container. Reassemble the empty pulp container before you continue juicing.
3. Put the filter in the juice collector. Make sure the filter is fitted securely onto the driving shaft. The blade should sit below the rim of the pulp container when in place.
   
4. Hold the lid over the filter and lower it into position.
   
5. Snap the two clamps onto the lid to lock it into place. (You will hear a click).
   
   NOTE:
   Make sure the clamp is locked into position on both sides of the lid.
6. Slide the pusher into the feeding tube by aligning the groove in the pusher with the small protrusion on the inside of the feeding tube.
   

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

KNOB:

• Off
• Position 1 - Standard Speed (For most fruits & vegetables)
• Position 2 - High Speed (For hard skin & tough foods)

"NO-DRIP" CAP:
The Juice Guru is equipped with a "No-Drip" Cap. When you do not want juice to come out, simply slide the cap over the spout to block the opening. Wash after every use.


Make sure you remove the cap before juicing to prevent backflow or damage to the unit.

The Juicer will only function if all parts have been properly assembled and the lid has been properly locked in place with the clamps.

1. For oversized pieces, wash the fruit and/or vegetables and cut them into pieces that fit into the feeding tube.
   
2. Make sure your glass or pitcher sits under the spout to collect the juice.
   
3. Put the pieces in the feeding tube and gently press them towards the rotating filter by means of the pusher.
   
   NOTE:
   Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher, as this could affect the quality of the end result and it could damage the filter.

After you have processed all ingredients and the juice flow has stopped, switch the appliance off and wait until the filter has stopped rotating.

TIPS

• Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery stalks, apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, pomegranates, oranges and grapes are particularly suitable for processing in the Juicer.
• You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels, e.g. those of oranges, pineapples and uncooked beetroots need to be removed. Also remove the white pith of citrus fruits because it has a bitter taste.
• When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice depends on the kind of apple you are using. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a kind of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
• Apple juice turns brown very quickly. You can slow down this process by adding a few drops of lemon juice.
• Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs, and mangos are not suitable for processing in the juicer. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to process these fruits.
• Leaves and leaf stalks, e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juicer.
• Drink the juice soon after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the juice will lose it's taste and nutritional value. Place in sealed container, to extend taste and nutritional value.
• To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down slowly.
• The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy fruits or vegetables such as sugar cane.

CLEANING

• The Juicer is easier to clean if you do so immediately after use.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, scourers, acetone, alcohol etc. to clean appliance.
• All detachable parts are dishwasher safe.

1. Switch the juicer off, remove the plug and wait until the filter has stopped rotating.
2. Remove the dirty parts from the motor unit. Disassemble the juicer in the following order:

• Remove the pulp container
• Remove the pusher
• Open the clamps
• Remove the lid
  

3. Remove the juice collector together with the filter.
4. Clean these parts with the cleaning brush in warm water with a mild detergent.
5. Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth.

NOTE:
NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR UNIT IN WATER.

TROUBLESHOOTING

RECIPES - COMMON INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

Freshly squeezed juices are an easy yet refreshing way to stay healthy and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. The Juicer will not only allow you to have the best tasting treats and drinks, it will provide a very nutritional value to your diet.

If you like the amazing taste of fresh juice, it doesn't get any better than this. Thank you and enjoy juicing!

To help you get started, we have provided you with the following:

• HINTS & TIPS
  In order to get the most out of your JUICIN', we highly suggest that you review this section before you get started.
• COLOR SOURCE
  This section contains a chart that highlights different kinds of fruits/vegetables and what vitamins/nutrients they provide.
• RECIPES
  Included is over 50 different recipes ranging from The Basics, Healthy Living, Health Support, Dieting/Fitness and Tasty Treats. We also encourage you to come up with your own!

Before you begin using your Juicer, there are a number of things you should consider for getting the most out of your juicer.

• We strongly suggest using "fresh" fruits & vegetables. When they are in season, they taste better.
• Gradually push the food plunger slowly so you can extract the maximum amount of juice.
• Any fruits or vegetables that have a "rough" skin, we suggest peeling them first.
• The juicer is best used when you have removed as many seeds and pits as possible prior to juicing.
• Cleaning can be easy by placing a plastic bag in the waster collection container.
• DO NOT pour liquids through the juicer.
• DO NOT use fruits or vegetables when they are at the height of ripeness.
• DO NOT freeze juice or pulps longer than one month.
• We suggest only leaving your juice refrigerated for 1 day, after that it begins to sour.
• Bundle herbs, sprouts and leafy green vegetables together for best results. You can even wrap them in a lettuce leaf.
• Root ginger adds great taste to all sorts of juice recipes.
• It is best to store fruits and harder vegetables at room temperature. More delicate foods should be refrigerated.
• Feel free to empty the pulp container while juicing - just make sure you turn the JUICE GURU "off."

We strongly advise NOT to juice the following: Avocado, Rhubarb, Leek, Eggplant, Winter Squash, Banana, Coconut, Figs, Mango, Papaya. Use a Food Processor or Blender to process.

By eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables (green, yellow/orange, red, blue/purple, and white) you are giving your body a wide range of nutrients that are important for good health. Each color offers something unique, like different vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytochemicals, that work together to protect your health.

COMMON QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS

• Do I need to prepare fruits and vegetables for juicing?
  Yes, but preparation is minimal. Simply wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly before use, peel any fruits with hard skin and remove seeds and pits.
• Is there any order to juicing fruit and vegetables?
  When juicing a variety of fruits and vegetables, always alternate between soft and hard ingredients. Hard fruits, such as apples, clean out the micromesh filter, enabling the next item to be extracted efficiently. Always end with a hard fruit as this makes cleaning the mesh filter basket very easy.
• Can I juice the whole orange?
  Oranges and other citrus fruits can be juiced whole, but always peel them first. For extra-frothy orange juice, keep your oranges in the fridge before juicing.
• What can I do with the residual pulp?
  The pulp left from juicing is rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. It can be used to bulk out hamburger patties and thicken up soups and casseroles. Pulp will also add flavor to muffins, flans, mousse, strudel and cakes. You can even use pulp in the garden as compost. Regular juicers will create enough pulp for a worm-farm.
• Can I store freshly squeezed juice in the refrigerator?
  All freshly squeezed juices are best consumed immediately after juicing - the longer they sit the more nutrients they lose. Juice is also at its most delicious when fresh.
• Are the Juicer parts dishwasher safe?
  The juice cover, filter bowl, pulp container, stainless steel filter basket and juice pitcher can all be placed in the dishwasher (on the top shelf only). Alternatively, keep your juicer clean by rinsing all of the removable parts under running water immediately after use.
