positioned in the two grooves on either side of the juice cover. Refer to page 5, Steps 3 and 4.
• 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

more slowly. Refer to page 6, Step 3.
