IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

• Read all instructions before using your juice extractor

• To protect against risk of electrical shock, DO NOT put power cord or motor base in water or any other liquid

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children

• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning

• Avoid contact moving parts. DO NOT touch the small cutting blades located at the base of the stainless steel filter

• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service center for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment

• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury

• DO NOT use outdoors

• DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter

• DO NOT let cord touch hot surfaces, including the stove

• DO NOT operate this appliance continuously for more than 5 minutes

• Always make sure juicer lid/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 “O” after each use of your juicer. 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 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 FROM OUTLET AND DISASSEMBLE JUICER TO REMOVE THE REMAINING FOOD

• DO NOT use the appliance if the rotating sieve/filter is damaged

• DO NOT push produce into the feed chute with your finger. Always use the food pusher provided

• DO NOT touch the small cutting blades in the base of the stainless steel filter basket

• Always make sure the juice extractor is properly and completely assembled before operating. The unit will not turn on unless properly assembled

• Always use the juice extractor on a dry, level surface

• Always turn the juice extractor off first before unplugging it from the outlet

• DO NOT place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be the same as that of your juicer. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE USING YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR

Follow the assembling instructions listed below before using your Oster® Juice Extractor:

Figure 1

Figure 2

• Before you start assembling your juice extractor, make sure it is unplugged and it is placed on a dry and leveled surface

• Place filter basket on top of the motor base (Figure 1)

• Place the stainless steel filter on top of the filter basket turning it until it fits into the grooves of the motor shaft (Figure 2)

•

Place juicer cover/lid on top of the filter basket (Figure 3)

• Place removable food chute on top of the lid and turn it until tabs fit into tab grooves or by aligning the arrows on the chute with the arrows on the lid. Once the tabs are inside the grooves, turn the chute clockwise until it locks into position

• Raise the one movement safety locking arm and place it on the grooves on the sides of the lid. The food chute fin will fit into the safety switch located in the center of the locking arm. This is a safety feature that will ensure the unit will not operate unless the lid is properly locked. The safety locking arm should now be up and locked into place on top of the juicer lid

• Place the pulp container into position by tilting it slightly

(Figure 6)

• Place the 34 oz. pitcher under the spout located on the right hand side of the juicer by tilting it slightly. Other jars or glasses can be used as well separator will allow to serve the juice without the foam

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare your fruits and vegetables by washing them thoroughly and peeling off those that need the skin removed.

2. Your juicer features an extra wide chute and thus most fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, beats, celery and others will not need to be cut into smaller pieces since they fit in the chute.

3. Make sure your juice extractor is properly assembled. Please follow the instructions from the section “Before Using Your Juice Extractor.”

4. Ensure the juice extractor and its accessories are clean by following the cleaning and maintenance section of this manual.

5. Place the jar or any other container/glass you may wish to use to collect the juice under the spout and make sure the pulp collector is in place prior to begin juicing. Do not allow the pulp collector container to overfill as this may cause the unit to stall.

6. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and turn the power on “I.”

7. Once the juicer is on, place the fruits and vegetables on the food chute and use the food pusher slowly to drive them down. In order to extract the maximum amount of juice, it is important to push the food pusher slowly.

8. The juice extractor will separate the juice and the pulp in the jar and pulp collector while you are juicing.

NOTE: Both the pulp container as well as the jar can be emptied during juicing by turning the juice extractor off “O.” Make sure to place both containers back in place before you resume juicing.

NEVER USE HAND OR FINGERS TO PUSH FOOD DOWN THE FOOD CHUTE OR TO CLEAR THE FOOD CHUTE. ALWAYS USE THE FOOD PUSHER PROVIDED.

AFTER USING YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR

Before cleaning and storing your juice extractor, follow the instructions below to disassemble the unit:

Figure 1

container by tilting it slightly (Figure 2)

(Figure 4)

Figure 5

Figure 6

• Lift the lid up and remove it from the juice extractor (Figure 5)

• In order to remove the filter basket and the filter, hold the filter basket with two hands and then lift it straight up (Figure 6)

WARNING: THE STAINLESS STEEL FILTER

BASKET CONTAINS SMALL SHARP BLADES TO CUT AND PROCESS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES WHEN HANDLING THE FILTER BASKET.

CLEANING

• After disassembling all removable parts of the juice extractor, wash them by hand with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher (top shelf only). If the pulp dries out in the pulp collector container, the filter or the filter basket, let it soak in water for approximately 10 minutes before washing it

• Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth

• It is very important to keep the filter very clean, free of residues blocking the holes in order to ensure optimal performance. Use a nylon brush to clean it thoroughly, if necessary. If the holes in the mesh remain blocked, soak the filter in hot water with a water solution with 10% lemon juice

NOTE: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

MAINTENANCE

• Some plastic parts might stain when in contact with some fruits and vegetables for too long. In order to avoid this from happening, all parts should be washed immediately after each use
