7. Using accessory attachments not sold or
recommended by the manufacturer can cause
fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not allow the power cord to come into
contact with any hot surfaces, including stove,
or to hang over table edge or counter.
9. Before turning the motor on, always make sure
juice extractor cover is properly positioned and
securely in place. Do not open cover while the
juice extractor is in operation.
10. Switch to OFF position after each use and be
sure the motor stops completely before
disassembling.
11. Do not put fingers or other objects into the
juice extractor opening while it is in operation.
If food becomes stuck in the opening, use
food pusher or another piece of fruit or
vegetable to push it down, or turn the motor
off and disassemble the unit to remove the
remaining food.
12. If the mesh filter-basket/blade is damaged, do
not use.
13. Always make sure the juice extractor cover

place.
20. This unit comes with a resettable thermal
device to prevent damage to the motor in
the case of extreme overload. Simply
unplug the unit, rest it for 30 minutes and
continue.
21. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing

TIPS AND HINTS
• Extracted juice captures about 95% of the nutrients
from fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking extracted
juice is a fast and efficient way for your body to
digest and absorb all of those nutrients. Digesting
whole fruits can take about an hour; extracted
juices take only 15 minutes.
• Freshly extracted juices are an excellent aid in
weight management and in cleanses, which rid
the body of toxins.
• Always use fresh, organic and seasonal produce.
Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertil
izers and chemicals, which is very important when
juicing whole foods. Buying foods in season is
considerably less expensive than purchasing offseason, and flavours are much better.
• Wash all fruits and vegetables immediately after
purchasing and store them in the refrigerator.
This way they are ready to juice at any time.
-
• Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables as soon
as possible after purchasing. The longer produce
is held, the more nutrients it loses.
• Fresh juices should be consumed immediately.
They lose nutrients as they sit.
• Certain fruits should be peeled before juicing.
Examples are pineapples, melons, mangoes,
papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin that you can
not eat. Also remove all pits and hard seeds from
peaches, cherries, mangoes, etc.
• Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, and
richer in nutrients.
• If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.
• Juice the softer ingredients before the harder
ones.
• When juicing herbs or leafy greens, juice them
in the middle of a combination of ingredients in
order to extract the greatest amount of juice.
• Use your taste to guide you on fruit and vegetable
combinations for juices. The recipes provided
are a guideline, but the possibilities are endless.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Experiment to discover your favourite combina
tions.
• Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable
juices, and apples do the same for fruit juices.
• Beets and carrots both have a naturally high sugar
content, so when added to vegetable juices they
can balance out any bitter flavours juiced veg
etables may have.
• Use your Compact Juice Extractor in tandem with
your blender. Blend fresh juices with ingredients
like bananas, yogurt, and protein powders for
delicious power smoothies.
• It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher
version of your favourite cocktail with fresh juices.
• Blend fruit juices with sparkling water or seltzer to
make a natural soda.
• The pulp that is separated from the juice has its
own health benefits. It is high in fibre and can
be used in a variety of ways. See our recipes as
guides on how you can incorporate the fibrous
pulp into your diet.
