If you have large quantities, such as 10 pounds or more, process in small batches, allowing motor to cool completely between uses. • When juicing CARROTS, DO NOT PACK food chute. Place carrots in food chute one by one, and use gentle pressure. 4 should be placed in food chute only when unit is operating. Food can be continuously placed in food chute without having to turn unit off. 7. When pulp bin is full, turn unit off. It is very important to empty the pulp bin when full. For best performance, empty pulp bin and clean cutter/ strainer and separator often. 8. When juicing is completed, or when pulp bin or juice container need to be emptied, turn unit off and unplug from outlet. Immediately wash cutter/strainer according to instructions. • DO NOT OVERLOAD THE FOOD CHUTE. For best results, simply drop food pieces, one at a time, into chute. Gently and slowly press with food pusher. This will extract the maximum amount of juice. • If the juice extractor SEEMS TO STRUGGLE or slow down, turn the unit OFF and unplug. Thoroughly wash the cutter/strainer and separator according to instructions. Reassemble and continue juicing.
