Do not immerse motor base in water or any other liquid. • After disassembling the unit (see page 8), all removable parts may be washed in hot, soapy water. • All plastic parts of the juice extractor can be placed in the bottom or top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place the motor base in the dishwasher. Some part distortion may occur if your household dishwasher's temperature is higher than normal or if the parts are placed too close to the heating element. • Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. • Discoloration of the plastic may occur with some fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash all parts immediately after use. NOTE: • To assist with cleaning, soak the strainer basket in hot, soapy water for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry on the basket it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh, thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juice extractor. Strainer Basket • The cleaning brush included with the unit is the most effective way to clean the strainer basket. Using the brush, hold the strainer basket under running water and brush inside and outside of the basket. Always treat the strainer basket with care; it can be damaged easily. w CAUTION 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. 9
