INTRODUCTION

Raw juices derived from fresh fruits and vegetables are

invaluable as an aid in maintaining a balanced diet.

Raw juice contains, in its most natural and complete form,

precious vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids and enzymes.

Nutritional authorities claim that raw juice is food in one of

its most easily digestible forms.

Be sure to use your Cuisinart Juicer daily, or as often as

you can manage, in the manner recommended in this

instruction manual.

Because of the cleansing and rebuilding properties

contained in juices, it is recommended that you use juices

in small amounts in the first week and then gradually

increase amounts as you can comfortably enjoy them.

We recommend that juices be taken alone, between meals,

and at room temperature – not with meals.

This Cuisinart Juicer is the result of intensive research and

engineering efforts, and we are sure you will be delighted

with its performance.

OPERATION

Note: The juice extractor will not operate until the pulp

container is locked into position. See page 8.

Step 1

Wash your selection of fruit and vegetables for juicing.

Note: Most fruit and vegetables such as apples, carrots and

cucumbers will not need to be cut to size as they will fit into

the feed chute whole.

Step 2

Ensure that the Juicer is correctly assembled and

that the juice collector cup is placed under the spout

while juicing.

Step 3

Plug the power cord into a power outlet. For softer fruits

and vegetables such as melons, spinach, pears, etc., use

the low setting. For harder fruits and vegetables such as

carrots, beets, cabbage, etc., use the high setting.

Toggle to the low or to the high position depending on the

fruit or vegetable being processed. Toggle to the off position

when process is completed.

Step 4

With the motor running place food down the feed chute.

Using the food pusher, gently guide food down the chute.

To extract maximum juice always push the food pusher

down slowly. Make sure flat area of food pusher is aligned

to flat area of feed chute. The food pusher is marked with

an arrow for easy lineup.
