CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning tips

• After each use, immediately rinse all
removable parts in hot water to remove
pulp and juice. It may be necessary to use
the cleaning brush to remove pulp from
the screen. Let parts air dry.
• To prevent staining of plastic parts from
brightly coloured fruit and vegetables,
wash parts immediately after use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Juicer does not operate when turned on
• Check to make sure the Juicer has been
assembled correctly, and the lid is in the
locked position.
Motor sounds strained during operation
• The wrong speed was selected for
ingredients being juiced, putting
excess strain on motor.
Build-up of excess pulp in the disk
• Stop the juicing process and follow the
directions in the "Care and cleaning"
section to disassemble and clean the
juicer lid. Scrape off pulp, reassemble,
and resume juicing.
Pulp is too wet; not enough juice being extracted
• Juicing screen may be clogged. Follow
directions in the "Care and cleaning"
section to disassemble Juicer and clean
the screen.
Juice is spraying out of the spout
• Try a slower speed and push ingredients
more slowly through the feed tube.
• If discoloration from ingredients occurs,
soak plastic parts in a solution of water
and 10% lemon juice. You can also clean
them with a non abrasive cleanser. Do
not soak plastic parts or disc in bleach to
remove stains.
• Refer to the Speed selector table in
the "Tips for great results" section to
determine the correct juicing speed for
your ingredients.
• Once excess pulp is removed, try
alternating between soft and hard
vegetables and fruit.
• Check your pulp setting. You may need
to change it based on your preferred
juice thickness.
• Make sure juice pitcher is pushed close
to the juicer and fits snugly against it.
