Oster 3161 User manual

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always

be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put power unit in

water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or

near children.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off

parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep fingers out of discharge

opening. Never operate without Pulp Container in place.

6. Always make sure Juicer Cover is clamped securely and Pulp

Container is in place before motor is turned on. Do not unfasten

clamps while juicer is in operation.

7. Be sure to turn switch to “OFF” position after each use of your juicer.

Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembing.

8. Do not put your fingers or other objects into the juicer opening

while it is in operation. Never feed food by hand

always use Food

Pusher. If food becomes lodged in opening, use Food Pusher to push

it down. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and

disassemble juicer to remove the remaining food.

9. 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 the appliance to the nearest authorized service

facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical

adjustment.

10. The use of attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

11. Do not use outdoors.

12. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch

hot surfaces.

13. Do not leave Juice Extractor unattended while it is operating.

14. Cutting teeth are sharp; handle Basket carefully.

Congratulations! You are the owner of the Juice Extractor, a most efficient

appliance designed to separate fresh juice from your favorite fruits and

vegetables.

Below are a few helpful hints to read before using your Automatic

Juice Extractor.

l Carefully read the Instruction/Recipe Cookbook before using for the

first time.

l Firm foods, such as raw carrots, should be cut into

1%”

pieces for faster,

easier processing.

Using your Juice Extractor daily will enable you to enjoy fresh,

flavor-

packed vitamin-rich juices whenever you desire. Use our enclosed

recipes or experiment with your own favorite combinations of fruits

and vegetables. There are endless combinations.

NOTE: This unit is designed for household use only.

PULP CONTAINER

After unpacking, disassemble unit before using the first time. Refer to

“To Disassemble Your Juice Extractor” for directions.

Wash all parts except Motor Base in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry

immediately. Do not put any part in automatic dishwasher. DO NOT

IMMERSE MOTOR BASE IN WATER.

TO ASSEMBLE YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR

NOTE: Be sure motor base is unplugged before assembling parts.

Place the Juice Bowl over the Drive Shaft as shown in figure 1. The

Juice Spout should be on the left side of the Motor Base.

2. Insert Basket (figure 2) and rotate slightly until it is seated. Continue

rotating Basket one full turn to make certain it rotates smoothly

without touching anything.

3. Place Cover in position. Fasten Cover Latches by placing top of latch

into groove and snapping down into place (figure 3).

4. Slide Pulp Container onto Motor Base and snap into position (figure 4).

5. Place glass or bowl under Spout at left side of unit.

6. Slide Food Pusher into Cover Opening (figure 5).

TO DISASSEMBLE YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR

1. Disconnect cord from outlet.

2. Remove Pulp Container. Grasp handle and pull it towards you as

shown in diagram (figure 4). Empty pulp and reassemble if you

desire to juice again immediately.

3. Remove Food Pusher.

4. Loosen Cover Latches by raising them up and out (figure 6).

Remove Cover.

5. Remove Juice Bowl and Basket by lifting straight up.

NOTE: Juice Extractor should be completely assembled before use

1. Wrap cord around storage compartment, allowing sufficient length of

cord outside to reach your electrical outlet.

2. Make sure the switch is in OFF position. Then insert plug into a wall

outlet. Use only voltage specified on bottom of unit.

3. Clean fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Remove stems, large pits,

stones and seeds from apricots, grapes, plums and peaches. Apples

may be processed with peelings and seeds. Thick-skinned fruits such

as pineapple should be peeled. This will minimize collection of pulp

and improve taste of juice. All fruits and vegetables should be cut

into pieces to fit into Cover Opening.

4. Make sure that the Basket revolves properly before placing the

ingredients in the Juice Extractor. It is normal for pulp to build up

somewhat on the Cover around the Basket when moist and

leafy fruits and vegetables are juiced.

5. Turn unit on. A clicking sound is normal as the Basket begins

turning. Place food into Cover Opening slowly and steadily, using

Food Pusher. Do not force the food into the Basket.

This can cause basket to shift and result in plastic shavings

getting into the juice.

6. Select speeds as indicated in the chart on page 10.

7. Form leafy vegetables into compact balls or rolls and feed into

Cover Opening.

8. When processing moist, leafy vegetables, the area between the

basket rim and pulp storage area may become clogged. If unit

becomes clogged or vibrates excessively, switch to OFF position,

unplug cord, and allow Basket to stop completely. Simply loosen

Cover Latches, remove Cover, and push pulp into storage compart-

ment. Replace Cover and fasten with Cover Latches. You are now

ready to process another quantity of juice.

9. When juicing is completed, switch to OFF and allow Basket to stop

completely. Disconnect from wall outlet before removing parts.

10. If a very large amount of juice is being made, and the pulp storage

area becomes filled, switch to OFF position, unplug cord and allow

Basket to stop completely. Empty Pulp Container and Juice

Bowl, and reassemble. You are now ready to process another

large quantity of juice.

11. CAUTION: UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING AND BEFORE

ASSEMBLING OR REMOVING PARTS. ALWAYS USE FOOD

PUSHER TO AVOID CUT INJURY.

1. DO NOT WASH THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER. After use,

unplug cord and disassemble unit and wash each part with a

mild detergent and warm water. Rinse well. Remove pulp from

Basket Screen with rubber scraper before washing. Clean

Basket with the supplied brush.

2. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the motor base.

3. After washing, dry all the parts, reassemble and store.

4. Do not wash any parts in an automatic dishwasher.

5. Some foods, such as carrots, may stain plastic parts. A paste

made from baking soda and water may remove surface stains.

6. Cord storage is provided on the bottom of the unit (figure 7).

7. Any other servicing required should be performed by an

authorized service facility.

l Apricots, bananas, peaches, pears, melons and strawberries are

soft-

textured fruits. The juice that is extracted from these fruits is very thick

and is known as nectar. It is best to alternate processing of these juices

with thinner juices, such as carrots, apples, etc. Process soft-textured

fruits first, followed by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order to insure

maximum removal of thick nectar.

l Parsley, spinach and watercress yield very rich and thick juices. They are

very strong-flavored and taste best when combined with other fruits or

vegetables. Process these thick, strong-flavored vegetables first, followed

by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order to insure maximum removal of

thick juice.

l One pound of raw produce usually yields one cup (250ml) of juice, as

indicated in the chart on page 10.

l Add a few teaspoons of lemon juice or ascorbic acid powder to your

juice container before juicing to keep juices from discoloring.

l Serve juices immediately, since the vitamin content decreases when

juices are stored. If it is necessary to juice fruits and vegetables some

time before serving, cover container tightly and refrigerate. Do not store

more than 48 hours, unless canning or freezing.

l The flavor, color and consistency of canned juices will be different from

freshly juiced foods.

l Substitute fruit or vegetable juices for stock or water in cooking.

l Some pulp remaining in juice is normal. It increases the juice’s flavor

and nutritive value.

l Potato juice can be used in place of cornstarch or flour in thickening.

l Vegetable juice mixed with carrot juice will produce a sweeter

vegetable flavor.

l Should you wish to prepare large quantities of fruits and vegetables, be

sure to check Pulp Container and Juice Bowl after processing 2 lbs.

kg) of food. For best results empty Pulp Container when it is filled to

near the top.

l For those who wish a clear juice, filter through layers of cheesecloth.

Cheesecloth is also helpful to remove any juice clinging to the pulp of

moist foods. Just squeeze out additional juice.

Refer to chart on page 10 for proper speed selection.

SPEED

NOTE: Can’t do raspberries in these units!

When the small seeds of the berries hit the teeth inside the basket, they split the

seed and create a bitter taste. The end result juice will not be

satisfactoy.

Although it looks as if the seeds are being processed successfully, they are really

getting caught below the basket. This will cause the juice to back up and spill over

the motor.

An appliance called a

Berry

Screener will do the job successfully. However, we do

not manufacture it.
