Laceration Hazard.
Micro-mesh strainer basket may fly apart during use if it is damaged, resulting in the risk of cuts and bruises. To reduce the risk of personal injury:

• Always inspect micro-mesh strainer basket before each use.
• Never use a cracked, bent, or damaged micro-mesh strainer basket.

How to Assemble

Before first use: After unpacking Juice Extractor, remove cardboard from Filter Basket and wash everything except Base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately. Never immerse Base in water or other liquids; wipe it with a damp sponge.

1. Place Strainer Bowl on top of Motor Base. Then place Stainless Steel Strainer Basket inside Strainer Bowl.
   
2. With hands on outer edge, press Strainer Basket down firmly to latch into position.
   
3. Place Juicer Cover over Strainer Bowl, positioning Feed Chute over Strainer Basket, and lower into position.
   
4. Raise Locking Arm up to lock into place.
   
5. Place Pulp Container into position by tilting Container slightly.
   
6. Place Juice Cup under Juice Spout. Slide Food Pusher down Feed Chute by aligning groove in Food Pusher with small ridge on inside of top of feed tube.
   

NOTE: When unit is properly assembled, the control panel will illuminate when plugged in.

HINT: To minimize cleanup, place a plastic grocery bag in Pulp Container to collect pulp. (See "How to Use" for more information.)

How to Use

Wash fruits and vegetables.
NOTE: Most fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, and cucumbers will not need to be cut since they will fit into Feed Chute whole. It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or mangoes are peeled before placing in unit to minimize impact on juice flavor.

Laceration Hazard.
Never use fingers to push food down the feed chute or to clear the feed chute. Always use the food pusher provided.

1. Ensure that unit is correctly assembled (see "How to Assemble") and place Juice Cup under Spout.
   
2. Make sure Knob is in OFF ( ) position. Plug into outlet. Control panel will illuminate. Move Knob to LO or Hl.
   NOTE: See Juicing Chart and Tips..
   
3. With motor running, place food down Feed Chute. Using Food Pusher, gently guide food down Feed Chute. To extract maximum amount of juice, always push Food Pusher down slowly.
   Juice will flow into Juice Cup and separated pulp will accumulate in Pulp Container.
   NOTE: Pulp Container can be emptied during juicing by turning Juice Extractor OFF ( ) and then carefully removing Pulp Container. Replace empty Pulp Container before continuing to juice.
   
4. To minimize cleanup, place a plastic grocery bag in Pulp Container to collect pulp. When juicing is completed, simply remove grocery bag containing pulp.
   NOTE: Do not allow Pulp Container to overfill since this may prevent correct operation or damage the unit.
   

NOTE: When juicing large amounts in one session, it is recommended to occasionally clean Strainer Basket to remove excess fiber buildup. Refer to Care and Cleaning section.

How to Disassemble

1. Turn Juice Extractor OFF ( ). Unplug. Allow Strainer Basket to stop turning.
   
2. Release Locking Arm.
   
3. Move Locking Arm down.
   
4. Lift off Cover.
   
5. Remove Pulp Container by sliding away from Motor Base.
   
6. Lift off Strainer Bowl with Strainer Basket still in place.
   
7. To remove Strainer Basket, turn Strainer Bowl upside down and carefully remove Strainer Basket.
   NOTE: It is recommended to remove Strainer Basket over a sink.
   

Care and Cleaning

NOTE: Fruits and vegetables may cause parts to discolor. To prevent this, wash parts immediately after each use.

Electrical Shock Hazard.
Do not immerse motor base in water or any other liquid.

Laceration Hazard.
The center of the strainer basket contains small, sharp blades to process fruits and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not touch blades when handling the strainer basket.

1. Unplug.
2. Wipe Base of Juice Extractor with a soft, damp cloth and dry.
3. Easy Sweep Cleaning Tool (included with select models) is most effective way to clean Strainer Basket. Using tool, hold Strainer Basket under running water and brush inside and outside of Basket.
   
4. All removable parts are dishwasher-safe.
   DO NOT use "SANITIZE" setting when washing in dishwasher. SANITIZE cycle temperatures could damage your product. Do not place Motor Base in dishwasher. Some part distortion may occur if your household dishwasher's temperature is higher than normal or if parts are placed too close to heating element.
   

To assist with cleaning, soak Strainer Basket in hot, soapy water for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry on basket it may clog fine pores of filter mesh, thereby lessening effectiveness of Juice Extractor.

Juicing Chart

Juicing Tips and Techniques

Juicing is a convenient way to add more vitamins and nutrients to your diet. Since you are removing the fiber or bulk, you can consume a larger volume of fruits and vegetables by drinking juice than by eating the whole food.

Purchasing and Storing Fruits and Vegetables:

• Always wash fruits and vegetables before juicing.
• Always use fresh fruits and vegetables for juicing.
• To save money and obtain fresher produce, purchase fruits or vegetables that are in season.
• Keep your fruits and vegetables ready for juicing by washing them before storing.
• Most fruits and hardier-type vegetables can be stored at cool room temperature. More delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers, and herbs should be stored in refrigerator until required.

Preparing Fruits and Vegetables:

• It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or mangoes are peeled before placing in Juice Extractor to minimize impact on juice flavor.
• All fruits with pits and large seeds such as nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, and cherries MUST be pitted before juicing.
• When using small amounts of ginger, sandwich it between other fruits or vegetables for best results.

Other Helpful Tips:

• Consume juice immediately for best taste and nutrition. If storing, cover tightly and refrigerate.
• Greens and herbs work best if rolled in a tight ball and then juiced in between a combination of ingredients.
• Peeled oranges will deliver invigorating, frothy orange juice. For best results, refrigerate oranges before juicing.

Using the Pulp:

• Remaining pulp left after juicing fruits or vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose which, like juice, contain vital nutrients necessary for daily diet and can be used in many ways. However, like juice, pulp should be used that day to avoid loss of vitamins.
• There are a number of recipes that use pulp. You can also use pulp to thicken casseroles or soups.
• Pulp is great used in the garden for compost.

Soy Milk, Almond Milk, and Rice Milk:
This Juice Extractor may be used to make soy milk, almond milk, and rice milk. One cup of soybeans, almonds, or rice must be soaked in four cups of water for 24 to 48 hours in the refrigerator. Slowly pour one cup of the soaked mixture at a time into Feed Chute. The liquid extracted from the soaked mixture is the "milk."
NOTES:

• Almonds must be soaked 24 to 48 hours before juicing.
• Soy milk should be boiled to improve flavor.
• Vanilla, honey, and sugar may be added to enhance flavor of each milk type.
