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.

Caution: Sharp blades

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.

9

26675 JEX-450A IB 23/6/08 11:59 AM Page 10

Step 5

Juice will flow into the juice collector cup and the separated
pulp will accumulate in the pulp container.

Note: The pulp container can be emptied during juicing by
turning the juice extractor to the off position, then carefully
removing the pulp container. You can reserve the pulp for
soups, sauces or cakes. Or, you can discard the pulp.

For your convenience, the juice cup is equipped with a
froth/foam separator. To remove, simply pull up. To insert,
slide down. This part is not dishwasher-safe.

NEVER USE FINGERS TO PUSH FOOD

DOWN THE FEED CHUTE OR TO
CLEAR THE FEED CHUTE.
ALWAYS USE THE FOOD
PUSHER PROVIDED.

Note: Do not allow the pulp container to

overfill as this may prevent correct operation
or damage the unit.

Cleanup tip: For easy cleaning, immediately after each use
wash the Juicer removable parts with soap and water under
running water to remove wet sticky pulp. Removable parts
(except the froth/foam separator) can be air dried or can
also be cleaned by placing on top shelf of dishwasher.

Step 6

Replace the pulp container by tilting it slightly, grasping the
pulp container lip, then push lightly until it snaps into place.

Thermal Protector

For your safety and protection, this juice extractor is
equipped with a thermal protector. Should the juice
extractor overheat, the motor will automatically shut off.
To restart, follow these steps:

10

26675 JEX-450A IB 23/6/08 11:59 AM Page 11

Move the toggle switch to the off position.

Unplug the juice extractor from electrical outlet.

Press the black reset button located on
the bottom of the unit base.

Once the motor has cooled down, plug
unit into electrical outlet.

Move toggle switch to either low or
high to continue juicing.

CARE AND CLEANING/

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

For easy cleaning: immediately after each use rinse
removable parts with hot soapy water to remove wet pulp.
Rinse with clean water. Allow parts to air dry. Or, place
removable parts on top shelf only of dishwasher. Note:
Froth/foam attachment is not dishwasher-safe and must be
washed by hand. Cuisinart juice cover, filter bowl, pulp
container, filter basket and juice container are dishwasher
safe (top shelf only).

Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.

Before washing juice collector cup, remove froth/foam
attachment and rinse under running water.
Note: Froth/foam attachment is not dishwasher-safe.

A nylon washing brush is the most effective way to clean
the filter basket. Using the brush, hold the filter basket
under cold running water and brush from the outside of the
basket. Then clean the filter basket in warm soapy water.
Always treat the filter basket with care as it can be easily
damaged.

POSSIBLE PROBLEM SOLUTION

Machine will not work
when switched on

Make sure unit is plugged into
proper power supply source. Make
sure all parts are in the proper
working position. Press the red reset
button on bottom of unit. Check your
home circuit breaker or fuse panel to
make sure they are live.

Motor appears to stall
when juicing

Wet pulp can build up under the cover
if the juicing action is too vigorous. Try
slower juicing action by pushing the
food pusher down more slowly.

Excess pulp building
up in the filter basket

Stop the juicing process. Remove
the juicer cover and scrape off pulp.
Re-assemble and begin juicing again.
Try alternating (soft and hard)
vegetable and fruit varieties.

Pulp too wet
and insufficient

Change to low or high speed. Try a
slower juicing action. Remove mesh
filter basket and clean mesh walls
with a fine brush in a solution of 70%
water and 30% bleach. This will
remove excess fibre buildup (from
fruit or vegetables) which could be
inhibiting the juice flow.

Juice leaks between the
rim of the juicer cover
and the filter bowl

Try a slower juicing action by pushing
the food pusher down more slowly.
Make sure unit is clean before use.

Filter bowl – juice sprays
out from spout

Try a slower juicing action by pushing
the food pusher down more slowly.
Make sure juice cup is in proper
position.

12

26675 JEX-450A IB 23/6/08 11:59 AM Page 13

Discolouration of the plastic may occur with strongly
coloured fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash
parts immediately after use.

If discolouration does occur the plastic parts can be soaked
in bleach and water. Using 1 tablespoon of bleach to 1 litre
of water, soak plastic parts for a maximum of 5 minutes,
then rinse thoroughly. Do not soak the filter basket in
bleach. DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN

WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. THE CENTRE OF
THE FILTER BASKET AND FEED CHUTE CONTAIN
SMALL SHARP BLADES TO PROCESS FRUIT AND
VEGETABLES DURING THE JUICING FUNCTION. DO
NOT TOUCH BLADES WHEN HANDLING THE FILTER
BASKET OR FEED CHUTE AS BLADES HAVE SHARP
EDGES.

Note: To assist with cleaning, soak the stainless steel filter

basket in hot soapy water for approximately 10 minutes
immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry
on the filter it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh,
thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juicer.

TIPS ON JUICING

Extracted juice from fresh fruits and vegetables contains
95% of their nutrients. Drinking extracted juices is the
fastest way to digest fruits and vegetables so that your body
can absorb all of those nutrients. When you make your own
juices, you have complete control over what you include.
You select the ingredients and decide if you need to use
sugar, salt or other flavouring agents. Freshly extracted
juices should be drunk just after they have been made to
avoid a loss of vitamin content.

Always use fresh, seasonal produce. Always juice fresh
fruits and vegetables soon after purchasing. The longer
produce is held, the more nutrients they lose.

13

26675 JEX-450A IB 23/6/08 11:59 AM Page 14

One tip is to wash all vegetables immediately after
purchasing and store in the refrigerator. This way they
are ready to juice at any time.

Fresh juices should be consumed immediately. They lose
nutrients as they sit.

Certain fruits need to be peeled first before juicing.
Examples of such fruits are pineapples, melons, mangoes,
and papayas – any fruit with skin that you cannot eat.

Also remove all pits and hard seeds from fruit such as
peaches, cherries, mangoes, etc.

Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, and more nutrient­rich than citrus juice that is manually pressed. It is essential
to remove the peel from all citrus fruits first before juicing.

Hint: It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing.

If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before you juice them.

When juicing, softer ingredients should be juiced before
the harder ones. As a rule, softer ingredients should be
juiced at the low speed, while harder ingredients are
juiced on high.

Use your taste to guide you on fruit and vegetable
combinations for juices. The recipes provided are a
guideline but the possibilities are endless. Experiment
to see what your favourite combinations are.

Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable juices
and apples do the same for fruit juices.

Beets and carrot both have naturally high sugar contents
so when added to vegetable juices they balance out any
bitter flavours juiced vegetables may have.

It is great to use your juicer in tandem with your blender.
Blend fresh juices with ingredients like bananas, yoghurt,
and protein powders for super delicious power smoothies.

14

26675 JEX-450A IB 23/6/08 11:59 AM Page 15

It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher version of
your favourite cocktail with fresh juices. For a fresh mimosa,
juice two peeled oranges and add about 30 ml to five
champagne glasses. Carefully fill with champagne, sip,
and enjoy.

Or, juice a pineapple (skin removed) and half a peeled lime
and place the juices in a blender with a banana, 120 ml of
dark rum, and 1 cup of ice cubes. Blend for a delicious
daiquiri. Finally blend fruit juices with sparkling water or
seltzer to make a natural soda.

Most fruits and vegetables can be stored at cool room
temperature. The more delicate and perishable items such
as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers and
herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.

All fruit and vegetables produce different amounts of liquids.
This varies within the same group – i.e., one batch of
tomatoes can produce more juice than another batch.
Since juice recipes are not exact, and juicing is not a
science, the precise quantities of any juice are not crucial to
the success of a particular mixture.

NOTE

To extract the maximum amount of juice always push the
food pusher down slowly.

USING THE PULP

The pulp left after juicing fruit or vegetables is mostly fibre
and cellulose which, like the juice, contains vital nutrients
necessary for the daily diet and can be used in many ways.
However, like the juice, pulp should be used that day to
avoid loss of vitamins.

Pulp can be used to thicken casseroles or soups. Carrot
pulp can be used for making carrot cake. Pulp is also great
used in the garden for compost.
