INTRODUCTION

The Cuisinart™Citrus Juicer offers superior
functionality with an elegant design –
perfect for the home gourmet.

This powerful juicer is capable of
handling the toughest tasks with ease.
The Cuisinart

™

Citrus Juicer has unique
features that maximize juice output.
A universal juicing cone works with any
size fruit, and will periodically reverse the
direction of spin when pressure is stopped
and then resumed. This two-way rotation
helps to extract more juice from fruit.
Placing the lid on top of the juicing
cone and pressing down activates the
‘Fast-Spin’ feature, extracting the
remaining juice from the pulp.

FEATURES AND
BENEFITS

1. Cover: Activates ‘Fast Spin’ feature that
removes juice from pulp, and acts as a
dust cover when not in use. Cover is
dishwasher safe.

2. Juicing Cone with Sieve: Larger cone
allows you to juice a variety of fruits.
Sieve allows the juice to pass through
the pulp.

3. Juice Container: Angled container
allows juice to flow directly into a
glass or container.

4. Drip Spout: Choose the open or
closed position by pushing down or
up on the spout.

5. Motor Base: Sturdy motor base
virtually eliminates the risk of the juicer
“walking” on your counter while in use.

6. Cord Storage (not shown):
Keeps countertops safe and neat by
conveniently wrapping excess cord
under unit.

ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS

To use your Cuisinart™Citrus Juicer,
begin by:

1. Rinsing the lid, juicing cone and
container – DO NOT rinse motor base.
Motor base can be wiped clean with a
damp cloth.

2. Placing the juice container over the
spindle with the drip stopper aligned
with the opening.

3. Drip spout should be in the open
position.

4. Position the juicing cone over the
spindle, securing it into place.

5. Place juicer lid over the cone.

6. Plug in power cord. Your juicer is
now ready to be used.

3

11. To avoid damage to cord and possible
fire or electrocution hazard, do not
let cord contact hot surfaces,
including stove.

12. Do not operate juicer in water or
under running water.

SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY

NOTICE:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one
prong is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.

YIELDS

• Grapefruit – 1 medium grapefruit is

approximately 1 pound and will yield
about 1 cup (250ml) of juice.

• Lemons – Approximately 4 to 6 lemons

equal one pound and will yield about
1 cup (250ml) of lemon juice. One
lemon yields about 3 tablespoons (45ml)
juice and 2 to 3 teaspoons (10-15ml)
zest.

• Limes – Approximately 6 to 8 medium

limes equal one pound, which will yield
about 2/3 - 3/4 cup (165-185ml) juice.

• Oranges – Approximately 2 to 4 oranges

equal one pound and will yield about
1 cup (250ml) of juice, 1 to 2
tablespoons (15-30ml) zest.

BENEFITS

Citrus juice is an excellent source of
vitamin C, but the juice begins to lose
its vitamin power after squeezing.
Fresh citrus juice loses 20% of its
vitamin C potency within 24 hours.
The best juice is “just squeezed”.

There is no comparison between the
flavour of fresh lemon and lime juices
and their purchased refrigerated or frozen
counterparts. Fresh juice has significantly
more flavour than the purchased juices
and will make your finished recipes
more flavourful.

OPERATION

1. Place juicer on a clean, dry counter.

2. Remove cover.

3. Place a glass or container under
2-cup (500ml) measure and no higher
than 5 3/8" under the spout.

4. Make sure spout is in the open
position.

5. Slice fruit horizontally.

6. Place center of citrus fruit on the
center of the juicing cone. For large
and small citrus fruits, place palm of
hand over the fruit.

7. Press fruit against cone by using
firm steady pressure to activate
juicing mechanism.

8. If you remove the pressure, reamer
may reverse direction once pressure
is reapplied – this is normal and
provides more even, effective
juicing. Squeezing the fruit while
pressing down on the cone will
extract more juice.

9. Once you feel the ribs of the cone
through the citrus rind, remove from
cone and repeat steps 5-7.

10. After approximately 1 lb. (454g) of
fruit has been juiced, the sieve will
appear to be full.

11. Remove rind from cone and place

cover on top of unit. Press down
on cover to activate the ‘Fast-Spin’
feature. This will remove the
remaining juice from the pulp
and juice container.

12. Once the juice slows to a drip,

release pressure to stop the
‘Fast-Spin’ feature.

13. Place drip spout in the closed position

and remove cup.

14. Remove cover and cone and empty

pulp from sieve.

15. Rinse cone and repeat steps 5-12

until you have the desired amount
of juice.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart™Citrus
Juicer from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.

Rinse juice container, cone and cover
before placing on the top shelf of the
dishwasher.

Wipe stainless steel housing with a damp
cloth (such as a micro-fiber cloth).

DO NOT immerse in water.

Wrap cord using the cord wrap feature
located underneath the unit.

Place clean juice container, cone and
cover back on unit.

Hand Mixer, mix on
low speed until blended. Add remaining
sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, and milk.
Mix on low speed until combined, about
30 to 40 seconds. The mixture may look
curdled – that is okay. In a clean bowl,
beat the egg whites with clean
beaters/whisk attachment until stiff but not
dry. Gently fold the egg whites into the
lemon mixture. Divide the mixture among
the prepared ramekins. Place the
ramekins in a shallow pan and add boiling
water until it reaches halfway up the sides
of the ramekins. Place the pan in the
preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake
for 45 minutes. Remove carefully from the
hot water bath and place on a rack to
cool.

May be served warm or cold. May be
served in the ramekins or when chilled
loosen the edges of the cake with a thin
bladed knife and invert each portion onto
dessert plates – the pudding will then be
on top.
