OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Make sure your juice extractor is properly assembled. (See Assembly Instructions.) 2. Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet. 3. Make sure that the spout is in the open position. Never juice with the spout in the closed position. 4. Wash all selected fruits or vegetables. 5. While most fruits such as apples, pears, carrots, etc. will not need cutting, any fruit or vegetable with a diameter larger than 3 inches will need to be cut. 6. Set the dial to the desired speed. The blue LED light ring on the control dial will start to blink. 7. Press the button in the center of the control dial to start the juice extractor. The LED light ring will stop blinking and stay on. 8. Lift the food pusher out of the feed tube and drop your food into the feed tube. Push through by inserting the food pusher and pressing firmly. 9. The juice will flow into the juice pitcher and the pulp will accumulate in the pulp container. 10. When finished juicing, press the On/Off button to stop the motor. Turn the control dial to "0" to shut off the juice extractor. 11. Before removing the juice pitcher from under the spout, turn the spout to the closed position. This will prevent juice from dripping on the counter. Cleaning and maintenance Do not immerse the motor housing in water or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel. Use any liquid dishwashing detergent, but do not use any products containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these products will dull, scratch or mar the finish. For easy cleaning, always clean immediately after each use. Vegetables and fruits will harden if left to dry on the unit parts, making it harder to clean. 1. Unplug juicer. Warning: Be careful when handling the filter basket during cleaning, as the blades at the bottom are very sharp. For best juicing results, always thoroughly clean the filter basket with the nylon brush provided. (See image.) 2. Take juice extractor apart, following Disassembly Instructions (page 4). First, rinse with cold water. Then wash the pulp container, juice pitcher, pusher, lid and rotating filter basket in hot, sudsy water, or place in top rack of dishwasher. Do not use a metal brush or pad. 3. Towel-dry all parts. 4. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. TIPS AND HINTS • Extracted juice from fresh fruits and vegetables contains 95% of their nutrients. Drinking extracted juices is the fastest way to digest fruits and vegetables so that your body can absorb all of those nutrients. As opposed to eating the whole fruit, which can take about 1 hour to digest, extracted juices take only 15 minutes. • Fresh juices are excellent for aiding in cleanses (ridding the body of toxins) and in weight management. • Always use fresh, organic and seasonal produce. Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertilizers and chemicals, which is very important when juicing whole foods. When buying foods in season, they are considerably less expensive than purchasing off season, and the flavors are much better. • Wash all vegetables immediately after purchasing and store them in the refrigerator. This way they are ready to juice at any time. • Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables soon after purchasing. The longer produce is held, the more nutrients it loses. • Always wash vegetables and fruit before juicing. • Fresh juices should be consumed immediately. They lose nutrients as they sit. • Certain fruits should be peeled first before juicing. Examples of such fruits are pineapples, melons, mangos, papayas, citrus - any fruit with skin that you cannot eat. Also remove all pits and hard seeds from fruit such as peaches, cherries, mangos, etc. 5
