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 dish-

washing detergent, but do not use any products

containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these

products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.

For easy cleanup, use cleaning brush to

remove excess pulp from the filter/sieve and the

lid after each use. Vegetables and fruits will harden

if left to dry on the unit parts, making it harder to

clean.

1. Unplug juicer and carefully take it apart,

following Disassembly Instructions on this page.

WARNING:

Be careful when handling the mesh

filter basket/blade, as blades are very sharp.

2. Rinse all removable parts with cold water.

3. Wash the pulp container, juice pitcher, pusher,

lid and mesh filter basket/blade in hot, sudsy

water, or on top rack of dishwasher. Do not use

a metal brush or pad.

NOTE:

For best juicing results, the mesh filter

basket/blade must always be thoroughly

cleaned after each use.

authorized service representative.
