IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed

including the following:

• Read all instructions before using your juice extractor

• To protect against risk of electrical shock, DO NOT put power cord or motor base in water

or any other liquid

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children

• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before

cleaning

• Avoid contact moving parts. DO NOT touch the small cutting blades located at the base of

the stainless steel filter

• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance

malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest

authorized service center for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment

• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire,

electric shock or injury

• DO NOT use outdoors

• DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter

• DO NOT let cord touch hot surfaces, including the stove

• DO NOT operate this appliance continuously for more than 5 minutes

• Always make sure juicer lid/cover is clamped securely in place before motor is turned on.

DO NOT unfasten clamps while juicer is in operation

• Be sure to turn switch to off position “O” after each use of your juicer. Make sure the

motor stops completely before disassembling

• DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS OR OTHER OBJECTS INTO THE JUICER OPENING

WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION. IF FOOD BECOMES LODGED IN THE OPENING, USE

FOOD PUSHER OR ANOTHER PIECE OF FRUIT OR VEGETABLE TO PUSH IT

DOWN. WHEN THIS METHOD IS NOT POSSIBLE TURN THE MOTOR OFF AND

DISASSEMBLE JUICER TO REMOVE THE REMAINING FOOD

• DO NOT use the appliance if the rotating sieve/filter is damaged

• DO NOT push produce into the feed chute with your finger. Always use the food pusher

provided

• DO NOT touch the small cutting blades in the base of the stainless steel filter basket

• Always use the juice extractor on a dry, level surface

• Always turn the juice extractor off first before unplugging it from the outlet

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

(For 120 & 127 Volts Only)

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety

feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug does not fit fully

into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do

not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, the marked

electrical rating of the extension cord should be the same as that of your juicer. The

extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or

tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

• DO NOT place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or where it could

touch a heated oven

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare your fruits and vegetables by washing them thoroughly and peeling off

those that need the skin removed.

2. Prepare the fruits and vegetables by cutting them into smaller pieces to ensure they

will fit in the chute.

3. Make sure your juice extractor is properly assembled. Please follow the instructions

from the section “Before Using Your Juice Extractor.”

4. Ensure the juice extractor and its accessories are clean by following the cleaning

and maintenance section of this manual.

5. Place the jar or any other container/glass you may wish to use to collect the juice

under the spout and make sure the pulp collector is in place prior to begin juicing.

Do not allow the pulp collector container to overfill as this may cause the unit to stall.

6. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and turn the unit on “I.”

7. Once the juicer is on, place the fruits and vegetables on the food chute and use the

food pusher slowly to drive them down. In order to extract the maximum amount of

juice, it is important to push the food pusher slowly.

while you are juicing.

NOTE: Both the pulp container as well as the jar can be emptied during juicing by

turning the juice extractor off “O.” Make sure to place both containers back in

place before you resume juicing.

NEVER USE HAND OR FINGERS TO PUSH FOOD DOWN THE FOOD CHUTE OR

CLEANING

• After disassembling all removable parts of the juice extractor, wash them by hand

with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher (top shelf only). If the pulp dries out in

the pulp collector container, the filter or the filter basket, let it soak in water for

approximately 10 minutes before washing it

• Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth

• It is very important to keep the filter very clean, free of residues blocking the holes in

order to ensure optimal performance. Use a nylon brush to clean it thoroughly, if

necessary. If the holes in the mesh remain blocked, soak the filter in hot water with a

water solution with 10% lemon juice

NOTE: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

MAINTENANCE

• Some plastic parts might stain when in contact with some fruits and vegetables for

too long. In order to avoid this from happening, all parts should be washed

immediately after each use

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

PROBLEM SOLUTION

• Safety locking arms may not be locked properly

in its position

• Turn off and unplug unit and ensure all parts are

assembled properly

• Turn off and unplug unit and check if there are any

residues blocking the unit

• Turn off and unplug unit and ensure all parts are

assembled properly

• Juicing overripe fruits may produce too much pulp

and clog the filter. Turn off and unplug unit and

clean the filter thoroughly

• If pulp starts building up under the lid, slow down

the juicing process. Turn off and unplug unit and

clean the filter basket, the stainless steel filter and

the lid

• Follow the instructions to disassemble the unit

included in the “After Using Your Juice Extractor”

section. Clean up pulp from the filter

• Try a slower juicing action. Remove stainless steel

mesh filter and thoroughly clean mesh with a nylon

brush. Rinse the filter basket with hot water. If the

fine mesh holes are blocked, soak the basket in a

solution of hot water with 10% lemon juice to

unblock the holes or wash in the dishwasher. This

will remove excess fiber build up (from fruit or

vegetables), which could be reducing the flow of

juice

• Try a slower juicing action by pushing the Food

Pusher down slower

Juice Extractor will not work

after switching on “I”

Motor makes loud noise and

unit starts vibrating

Motor appears to stall when

juicing

Too much pulp build up on

stainless steel filter

Pulp too wet and reduced

juice extraction

Juice leaks between the rim

of the Juicer and Cover

the Filter.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

• Do not place any fruits or vegetables until you turn the unit on. Allow unit to run for at

least 10 seconds before you start juicing

• Do not allow the pulp container to overfill as this may prevent correct operation or

damage the unit

• Ensure to remove large pits from fruits such as peach, mango, etc as they can

damage the unit

• You can use a plastic bag inside the pulp collector container to avoid having to

clean it

• Do not use bananas or avocados as they do not contain juice and will clog the unit.

You can use a blender to add them to the juice

• You can use the pulp of the juices you prepare in a variety of ways. The pulp from

fruits and vegetables contains high amounts of fiber and cellulose, which are

essential for a healthy and well balanced diet. You can use the pulp to thicken soups,

bulk up rissoles and thicken casseroles or to enhance your desserts. Make sure to

use the pulp the same day you juice to avoid loss vitamins
