To separate the filter from the Jack LaLanne's MT-1020 machine for cleaning, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the AC cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Disassemble the machine by grasping the receptacle with two hands.
3. Lift and twist the receptacle either clockwise or counterclockwise while pulling upward to separate the filter/blade/receptacle unit from the base.
4. Do not remove screws from the blade; the filter and blade are one piece and are not meant to be separated.

After removal, clean the filter and blade by holding them under warm running water and using a bristled dishwashing brush to gently clean pulp from the filter. Rinse from the outside under running water.

To replace the spout on Jack LaLanne's MT-1020:

1. Remove the Spout:
- Locate the removable juice spout locking mechanism on the bottom side of the receptacle.
- Turn the locking mechanism counterclockwise to unlock it, aligning the notch with the juicer spout hinge pivot arm.
- Carefully lift the juice spout from the receptacle and remove it for cleaning or replacement.

2. Reattach the Spout:
- Insert the juice spout back into its original position.
- Turn the locking mechanism clockwise to lock it securely in place.
- Ensure the juice spout is in the locked position and tightly secured before using the juicer.

To replace the pulp collector on the Jack LaLanne's MT-1020, follow these steps:

1. Turn the power OFF and unplug the AC cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the pusher from the chute.
3. Lower the locking bar into the disengaged position.
4. Remove the lid with built-in pulp guard by pulling it off the receptacle.
5. Remove the pulp collector by sliding the bottom away from the base in the direction of the arrows while unhooking it from under the lip on the receptacle.

If the safety pin is broken, ensure you replace the pulp collector with a compatible part and verify that all safety mechanisms are functioning before use.

  • Page 12 Helpful Tips Noise and Vibration Sometimes when you juice you’ll hear a bit more noise than the normal whisper quiet juicing you’ve come to expect from your Power Juicer. This noise may also be accompanied by a little extra vibrating. This is alright; it is just the juicer processing the food.
  • Page 13 Helpful Tips Carrots Carrots can be a bit challenging to juice due to their dense nature and irregular shape. Do not over stuff the chute. Leave some room on the sides to be able to maneuver the carrots while juicing. They tend to bounce around inside the chute. Use the pusher to guide them to the blade.
  • Page 14 Helpful Tips Berries and Small Fruits Juicing berries may seem a bit challenging at first but once you get the hang of it you will love the great flavors they add to your juice. Not to mention the health benefits they have to offer. When juicing berries (except cranberries) you will need to add something that contains a larger volume of juice such as an apple or orange.
