IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ THESE SAFEGUARDS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN! Keep out of the reach of children to avoid
injury. This appliance is not a toy.
• Do not operate this or any appliance with a damaged AC cord or plug.
• Do not operate if appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or appears
damaged in any manner. Never attempt home repairs. Only a qualied
appliance technician should repair appliance before re-use.
• To avoid electric shock or serious personal injury, do not use any
attachments or utensils that were not recommended or supplied by
the manufacturer.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock or injury, never immerse power
cord, plug, or main unit in water, or other liquids.
• Do not let power cord hang over the edge of table, counter, or come in
direct contact with hot surfaces such as stoves.
• Make sure the lid is attached properly and is securely locked before
operating the Fusion Juicer. (See Assembly Step 5.)
• Make sure the motor stops completely and the unit is unplugged from
the electrical outlet before disassembling, assembling or cleaning.
• If juicer stops due to improper operation or if there is excessive noise, turn
power off, wait for blade to stop spinning, unplug from electrical outlet,
disassemble, clean all components then reassemble machine.
• To avoid risk of personal injury keep hands and utensils out of the juicer
and away from its sharp blade during operation. Use the pusher, not
ngers or utensils, to feed the produce into the juicer.
• Never disengage the locking bar during operation.
• The juicer blade is extremely sharp. Use extreme caution when handling.
• Should food become lodged in the chute, and moderate pusher pressure
will not pass it through, turn the power switch off, allow the motor to stop
completely, then unplug the AC cord, disassemble the juicer and remove
the blocked food.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, never place blade on base without
properly assembling the unit.
• The juicer will not run if the unit is not properly assembled. The motor has
a built-in safety feature that will not allow the power to turn on unless the
locking bar is locked in place.

• If juicer jams, turn power switch off immediately and remove AC cord from
electrical outlet, disassemble, and clean.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Be sure to turn switch to OFF position after each use of your juicer. Make
sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
• Do not use the appliance if the rotating lter is damaged.
* This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will t in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not modify or force the plug in any way.
• Do not operate without the pulp container in place.
SAFETY FEATURES
The Fusion Juicer was made with safety in mind. We have added two
important safety features: the Automatic Shut Off and the Locking Bar.
Built-In Thermal Cut Off Switch/Automatic Shut Off
Unlike other juicers, the Fusion Juicer is equipped with a special feature
that automatically shuts off the motor should the unit become jammed or
overheated by food during the juicing process. Prior to shut down, you will
most likely hear the juicer get louder. This will indicate that something has
caused the motor to strain. Should this happen, simply turn the power switch
off and unplug the unit… follow the Disassembly, Cleaning and Assembly
process, then allow the unit to cool for 10 minutes. The unit will restart and
you may resume the juicing process. There are some additional reasons that
could cause a “shut down”. You can nd them in the trouble shooting section
of your operating manual on page18.
The Locking Bar
The Locking Bar holds the juicer Lid/Pulp Guard in place and is connected to
an auto shut-off switch. If the Locking Bar is not in its full upright and locked
position, the juicer will not start. This is to prevent accidental contact with the
spinning blade. If the machine is not locked, the motor will not engage and
the blade will not spin.

ASSEMBLY
STEP 1
Place base on a dry at surface with locking bar in
down position as shown. In front of the machine
(spout side).
IMPORTANT: There is a Safety MicroSwitch
located in the back center of the base. This
mechanism is an added safety feature. Once the pulp
collector is in place the Activating Pin on the bottom
of the pulp collector activates the Safety MicroSwitch.
This will protect you from accidentally putting hands
or ngers under the machine while the blade is
turning. Once the pulp collector is removed from the
main base the motor will not run.
STEP 2
Align grooves on the bottom of pulp collector with
tracks on the base.
Note: The Safety MicroSwitch is located in the back
center of the base. Slide pulp collector with Activating
Pin towards base in the direction of arrows. Make sure
the pulp collector is rmly in place
against base.
IMPORTANT:
The motor will not run
if pulp collector is not
properly assembled.
