IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS — SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•Read all instructions.
•To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put motor base or wiring in water or other liquid.
•Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
•Unplug your juicer from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
•Avoid contacting moving parts.
•DO NOT operate this or any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or it is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
•The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.
•DO NOT use outdoors.
•DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
•DO NOT place near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
•DO NOT use appliance for other than intended use.
•Always make sure juicer cover is clamped securely in place before motor is turned on. DO NOT unfasten clamps while juicer is in operation.
•Be sure to turn switch to off position after each use. Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
•DO NOT put your fingers or other objects into the juicer opening while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in opening, use food pusher or another piece of fruit or vegetable to put it down. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble juicer to remove the remaining food.
The switch on the bottom of the machine is a thermal protection device. Should the juicer overheat for any reason this switch will cut off the electrical current and the machine will stop, thus saving it from possible damage
or fire. To restart, simply push the switch and the juicer will again function normally.
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
• This juicer is for household use.

HELPFUL HINTS
•Make sure the machine is running at full speed before beginning to juice.
•Do not force feed the juicer. For most fruits and vegetables a slow, steady push down the chute will work best.
•There is no need to cut into sections a fruit or vegetable that will fit whole into the feeder chute. If it must be cut, cut only into large pieces that easily fit down the feeder chute.
•When making a drink that uses a combination of more than one fruit or vegetable, we suggest alternating the various fruits or vegetables when placing them in the machine. For example: Carrot Apple Juice — place one or two pieces of carrot in feeder chute, then a piece or two of apple. Keep alternating in this manner.
•When juicing leafy greens we suggest that you twist and roll the green into a ball the size of a golf ball. Always place the greens into the juicer first, followed by crisper vegetables such as carrots, celery, etc.
•When juicing any very soft fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, grapes and peaches, we suggest that you alternate with firmer fruits and vegetables.
•Cleaning the Fruits and Vegetables: Before you begin juicing, thoroughly wash all dirt and sprays from the fruits and vegetables. A vegetable brush can be used to clean carrots, celery, etc. Cut away any decaying or diseased portions of the fruits or vegetables.
•Preparing the Fruits and Vegetables: It is not necessary to peel your fruits and vegetables as many of the valuable food elements are under the surface near the skin. The only exceptions are cucumbers, pineapples, oranges and grapefruit. These should be peeled.
