Off

The juice extractor will run continuously until the Off button is pressed. The appliance should be stored in Off position and unplugged when not in use.

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 avor.

• 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 difcult to digest. Hint: Although the skin may be left on melons and pineapple, you may choose to

remove them to maximize the fruit avor in the nished 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 overll while using the machine. Turn the appliance off, wait for the motor to stop running and any juice to stop owing. 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 rst; 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 benets 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 ber and avor to mufns and quick breads.

• Use it to thicken soups, casseroles and sauces.

• Use fruit pulp to add nutrition and avor 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 qualied service personnel.

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

1. Unplug your Juiceman® Express 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 lter, use cleaning brush provided to make sure the tiny holes in the mesh lter are not clogged. This can be accomplished by holding lter under a running faucet while brushing the mesh screen from both the inside and outside of the lter.

Tip: Pulp from pulp container can be used in many different ways: making breads, mufns, 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.

6. When nished, press the Off button and allow disc to stop revolving before removing the lid. Unplug the appliance. Remove the lid by turning clockwise and invert it on countertop.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR YOUR SLICER/SHREDDER

• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables through the slicer/shredder, cut a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in feed chute.

• Always remove seeds, core and pits before slicing/shredding.

• Select foods that are rm and not over ripe.

• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.

• When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute; this will allow the pusher to engage the interlock mechanism on the processor. Stand them vertically in the feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.

• Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.

• Soft and semi hard cheeses should be well chilled (not frozen) before shredding.

• After food has been sliced or shredded, remove the lid and invert on countertop.

• To take advantage of the speed of your Juiceman® Express, drop foods through the feed chute with the appliance running.

• Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (like tomatoes) and slightly more pressure for hard foods (such as onions and potatoes).

• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted into the food.

• Do not use the slicer/shredder to slice warm meat and hard cooked eggs; chill them rst.

7. To remove the slicer/shredder disc, use one hand to hold the continuous ow disc while turning the slicing/shredding disc counterclockwise (R). Place the disc on top of the inverted slicer/shredder lid.

8. Unplug the appliance when not in use.
