IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
Consumer Safety Information
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not immerse cord, plug, or motor
base in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug cord 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 food chute.
6. Always make sure juice extractor cover is
clamped securely in place before motor is
turned on. Do not unfasten cover latches
while juice extractor is in operation.
7. Never operate without pulp bowl in place.
8. Be sure to turn switch to OFF position
after each use of your juice extractor.
Make sure the motor stops completely
before disassembling.
9. Do not put fingers or other objects into
the juice extractor food chute while it is in
operation. Never feed food by hand –
always use the food pusher. If food
becomes lodged in the opening, use food
pusher or another piece of fruit or vegetable to push it down. When this method
is not possible, turn the motor off, unplug
the cord from the outlet, and disassemble
juicer to remove the remaining food.
10. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer assistance number for
information on examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
11. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
12. Do not use outdoors.
13. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
14. Do not leave juice extractor unattended
while it is operating.
15. Blades are sharp; handle carefully.
16. Keep hair, clothing, and jewelry, as well
as spatulas and other utensils, away from
food chute during operation to prevent
the possibility of severe injury to persons
and/or damage to the appliance.
17. The cutter/strainer is a very delicate
screen not covered under the warranty.
Do not wash in an automatic dishwasher.
If bent or damaged, do not use, as it
could break into small pieces and cause
personal injury and/or damage the
appliance. Call our toll-free customer
assistance number to order a new cutter/
strainer. Replace cutter when it shows
signs of wear.

This appliance is intended for household use
only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not
use another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit with your juice extractor.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by modifying the plug
in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the juice extractor. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

wWARNING
To reduce risk of personal injury and/or damage to your juice extractor:
• Never wash cutter/strainer or other removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always inspect cutter/strainer before each use.
• Do not use a cracked, bent or damaged cutter/strainer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The cutter/strainer is a very delicate screen subject
to wear, and therefore is not covered under warranty. Call our toll-free customer
assistance number to order a new cutter/strainer.
Before First Use: After unpacking
the juice extractor, wash everything
except the base in warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry immediately.
Never immerse the base in water;
wipe it with a damp sponge.
Important Information
• The juice extractor is manufactured for
NORMAL HOUSEHOLD USE. If you have
large quantities, such as 10 pounds or
more, process in small batches, allowing
motor to cool completely between uses.
• When juicing CARROTS, DO NOT PACK
food chute. Place carrots in food chute
one by one, and use gentle pressure.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE FOOD CHUTE.
For best results, simply drop food
pieces, one at a time, into chute.
Gently and slowly press with food
pusher. This will extract the maximum
amount of juice.
• If the juice extractor SEEMS TO STRUGGLE
or slow down, turn the unit OFF and
unplug. Thoroughly wash the cutter/
strainer according to instructions.
Reassemble and continue juicing.

Caring and Cleaning
To prolong the life of the juice extractor, it is recommended that all washable parts
be washed immediately after each use.
The cutter/strainer is a very delicate screen not covered under the warranty. Do not
wash in an automatic dishwasher. If bent or damaged, do not use, as it could break
into small pieces and cause personal injury and/or damage the appliance. Call the
toll-free customer service number to order a new cutter/strainer. Replace cutter/
strainer when it shows signs of wear.
1. Turn OFF and unplug from electrical
outlet.
2. Unlock safety latches. Remove
cover. Remove cutter/strainer and
pulp bowl. Do not let food dry and
harden on the cutter/strainer. For
hard to remove particles, use a plastic
bristle brush or toothbrush.
3. USE CAUTION: The cutter/strainer
teeth are sharp. Handle carefully.
Wash the cutter/strainer in hot, soapy
water. Rinse then let dry.DO NOT
WASH the cutter/strainer in the
dishwasher.
4. Wash the food pusher, cover, and
pulp bowl, in hot, soapy water. Rinse,
dry, and reassemble for storage. The
juice spout is designed for easy
removal and reassembly if needed.
5. Some foods may stain plastic parts.
Make a paste of baking soda and
water and rub on stained area with
a damp cloth. Rinse and dry.
NOTE: Carrots will stain the unit
permanently.
6. Wipe outside of base with a damp
cloth. Never immerse base in water.
Juicing Tips and Techniques
Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds from
apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, etc. Peel thick-skinned fruits and vegetables such
as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, tangerines, watermelons, pineapples and winter
squash.
• Leafy vegetables, such as spinach,
should be processed in batches no
larger than 2 pounds. Stop the unit
and clean between batches to avoid
clogging the cutter/strainer and pulp
bowl.
• Juicing avocados or bananas produces
a puree rather than a juice.
• Form leafy vegetables into compact
balls or rolls before inserting into food
chute.
• One pound of raw produce usually
yields one cup (8 ounces) of juice.
• When working with large quantities of
fruits and vegetables, be sure to stop
unit to empty pulp bowl as it begins to
fill. The cutter/strainer should also be
cleaned regularly, as the extraction will
decrease considerably if it becomes
clogged.
• If you desire a clear juice, filter juice
through a strainer, layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter. This will also
remove any foam which results during
juicing.
• To keep juices from discoloring during
storage, add a few teaspoons of lemon
juice or ascorbic acid powder.

• Serve juices immediately, as the flavor
and nutrient content decreases rapidly
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
for more than 24 hours.
• The flavor, color, and consistency of
freshly juiced fruits will be different
from canned juices.
• Substitute fruit or vegetable juices for
stock or water in cooking.
• Some pulp remaining in juice is nor-
mal. It increases the juice’s flavor and
nutritional value.
• Potato juice can be used in place of
cornstarch or flour as a thickening
agent in gravies and soups.
• Vegetable juice mixed with carrot juice
will produce a sweeter vegetable flavor.
• Freeze vegetable pulp for use in
making soups.
• The softer the texture of a fruit or veg-
etable, the thicker the juice produced.
Apricots, 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 combine these
juices with thinner juices, such as
carrot, apple, etc. Beet greens, parsley,
spinach, and watercress yield very rich
and thick juices. They are very strongflavored and taste best when combined
with other fruits and vegetables.
