IMPORTANT: Always press the OFF button before plugging in the appliance. PURCHASING AND STORING INGREDIENTS

• Always use fresh fully ripened fruits and vegetables.

• When purchasing, consider selecting fruits and vegetables in season for best freshness and ﬂavor.

• Choose fruits that are plump, tender and have bright color. Fruits should be heavy for their size without bruises, cuts or blemishes.

• To ripen fruit, place in a small clean paper bag. Close the bag loosely and let stand at room temperature. (To speed ripening, add a ripe apple or banana to the bag.) Once ripened, store in the refrigerator for a day or two until ready to use.

• Store perishable vegetables in the refrigerator until ready to use.

PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

• Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly just before using in the juice extractor, using a natural bristle brush. We suggest using a biodegradable cleaner, such as Fit® Fruit and Vegetable Wash to help remove pesticide residue.

• If desired, remove the skin. The skin can be left on all produce with the exception of:

o All citrus fruits, including

• Oranges

• Grapefruit

• Lemons

• Limes

• Tangerines

Note: The oil in the skin of these fruits tastes bitter and is difﬁcult to digest. Hint: Although the skin may be left on melons and pineapple, you may choose to

remove them to maximize the fruit ﬂavor in the ﬁnished drink.

• All pits and large seeds should be removed, including:

o Apricots o Cherries o Nectarines o Mangoes o Peaches o Plums o Melons

• Remove and discard outer leaves of non-organic produce. Peel away any wax coatings.

• Trim any bruised or discolored sections of fruits and vegetables

• The design of the feed chute accommodates larger produce. It will easily accommodate most whole fruits and vegetables, such as apples, beets and carrots. If necessary, cut into large pieces before inserting into feed tube.

• Be sure all parts of the juice extractor are clean and dry. See CLEANING instructions on page 13.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR

• Do not put food into the juice extractor before turning the appliance on.

• Let the appliance run for at least 10 seconds before placing any food into the feed chute.

• Do not let the pulp container or juice glass overﬁll while using the machine. Turn the appliance off, wait for the motor to stop running and any juice to stop ﬂowing. Empty the juice glass and/or pulp container. Be sure they are properly replaced before resuming operation of the extractor.

• When processing different fruits and vegetables, process the soft foods on Low speed ﬁrst; follow with the fruits and vegetables that use the High speed.

• When processing leafy vegetables, such as parsley and herbs, add the herbs between the harder foods.

• For easy clean up, place a plastic bag inside the pulp container before using the appliance.

• When processing small fruits, like grapes, add them in handfuls.

• Beets and pomegranates stain easily; process them last and wash all parts before making another juice drink.

• Do not process bananas, avocados or coconut. They have no juice and will clog the appliance.

• Be sure to remove all pits and large seeds from fruits.

• To make delicious citrus juice, peel the fruit, removing all the white pith. Refrigerate till cold and process the fruit through the extractor for a great drink.

• For maximum nutritional beneﬁts drink your processed juice right away.

Tip for optimum juicing: Avoid excessive build up of pulp on the underside of the lid.

USES FOR THE PULP Tip: The pulp from the fruits and vegetables is high in nutritional value.

• Use it to add ﬁber and ﬂavor to mufﬁns and quick breads.

• Use it to thicken soups, casseroles and sauces.

• Use fruit pulp to add nutrition and ﬂavor to desserts, such as, puddings and cakes.

• Be sure to use it the same day you extract the juice.

• Pulp is also food for your garden. Use it for compost.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualiﬁed service personnel.

Important: Always unplug your appliance from the outlet before cleaning. CLEANING

1. Unplug your Juiceman® Express Jr. and disassemble.

2. Using a sponge or damp cloth, clean the base, rubber feet and underside of the motor base. If necessary, you may use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice from the inside of the drive shaft (on top of motor base).

Important: Do not immerse the base in water or spray with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel.

3. All parts – except the base – are dishwasher-safe (top-rack only) or you may wash in warm, soapy water, using any mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Do not use any products containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these can dull, scratch or mar the surface. Use the cleaning brush provided to remove pulp left on any of the removable parts. Do not use metal brushes or pads.

4. To clean the ﬁlter, use cleaning brush provided to make sure the tiny holes in the mesh ﬁlter are not clogged. This can be accomplished by holding ﬁlter under a running faucet while brushing the mesh screen from both the inside and outside of the ﬁlter.

Tip: Pulp from pulp container can be used in many different ways: making breads, mufﬁns, cakes, soup stocks, compressed facial packs and garden compost material.

REMOVING TOUGH STAINS

1. Due to powerful staining properties of carotenoids found in many vegetables, particularly carrots, we suggest soaking any stained parts overnight in one of the following solutions:

• Biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover juice extractor

parts

• ¼ cup bleach added to a sink full of warm water

• 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar

• ½ small box of baking soda in enough warm water to cover juicer parts.

Important: Never use ammonia or abrasive cleansers!

2. After soaking overnight, lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid detergent.

STORAGE

Store your appliance in a clean, dry place. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters the motor base, as this could cause cord to fray and break.
