Juice Extractor Safety
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
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 service number for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
11. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. 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 service number to order a new cutter/strainer. Replace cutter when it shows signs of wear.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
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.
To Disassemble: Unplug cord from outlet. Unlock both safety latches by pulling out bottom of latch. Remove cover, then lift up separator with cutter/strainer.

Know Your Juice Extractor
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 and separator according to instructions. Reassemble and continue juicing.

How to Assemble & Use
Read and follow instructions in “Before First Use.”
1. Place separator on top of base as shown on page 3. Place pulp bowl in separator.
2. Place cutter/strainer into pulp bowl and gently push until firmly in place. Once in place, the cutter/strainer should spin easily.

4. Position the top of both safety latches in place, then push in at bottom to lock. Lock both sides.
DO NOT OPERATE UNIT UNTIL SAFETY LATCHES ARE LOCKED.
5. Place a container in position under
the juice spout.
NOTE: Check the pulp bowl frequently. It is important to empty the pulp bowl when full and to clean out the separator.
6. Cut food into pieces to fit the food chute. See “Tips & Techniques.”
7. Plug cord into outlet.
8. Be sure juice container is in place.
Push switch to turn on. The unit will not turn on until safety latches have been closed.
9. Place food in the food chute and press lightly with food pusher. Never use fingers or utensils other than the food pusher as a food pusher. Food should be placed in food chute only when unit is operat­ing. Food can be continuously placed in food chute until pulp bowl is full without having to turn unit off .
NOTE: For best results, empty the pulp bowl before it is completely full.
10. When pulp bowl is full, turn unit off. It is very important to empty the pulp bowl when full. For best perfor­mance, empty pulp bowl and clean cutter/ strainer and separator often.
11. When juicing is completed, or when pulp bowl or juice container need to be emptied, turn unit off and unplug from outlet. Immediately wash cutter/strainer according to instructions.
Caring & 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, pulp bowl and separator. Do not let food dry and harden on the cutter/strain­er. For hard to remove particles, use a plastic bristle brush or toothbrush.

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 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 normal. 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 vegetable, the thicker the juice produced. Apricots, peaches, pears, melons, and strawberries are soft­textured 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.
Juicing Tips & 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.
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, sepa­rator, and pulp bowl, in hot, soapy water. Rinse, dry, and reassemble for storage. The cover, separator, and pulp bowl may also be washed
in the top rack of dishwasher. The food pusher is not dishwasher safe.
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.
