OPERATING THE JUICER
Pulp
To make juice, the pulp chute should
3
always be pushed in; this is the open
position. When the pulp chute is open,
pulp created while juicing will flow
through the pulp chute, separating it
from the juice.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

• The pulp chute controls how much
fibrous material or pulp exits through
the juice chute.
- Pulling the pulp chute out closes
the chute, increasing the amount of
pulp and fiber for your sauce recipes.
- Pushing the pulp chute in opens the
chute, reducing the amount of pulp
for your juice recipes.
• Remember to open the pulp chute
when using the high or low pulp screens.
Keeping the pulp chute open will prevent
the Juicer from locking up.

Juice
To make sauces, pull the pulp chute
4
out; this is the closed position. Make
sure the rubber gasket is in place.
When the pulp chute is closed, the
juice and fiber exit through the juice
chute as a sauce.
• The rubber gasket on the bottom of
the juicer should be placed properly to
reduce loss of juice into the pulp chute.
Only remove the rubber gasket if you
want juice to flow into the pulp ejector.
• The drip stop should be opened
before juicing.
• Large seeds or pits need to be removed
prior to juicing to avoid damage to the
auger or baskets. This includes fruits
such as: nectarines, peaches, mangoes,
apricots, plums, cherries, etc.
• Before saucing hard fruits (such as apples),
it is recommended that you steam the
fruit for 2-3 minutes.
