BEFORE FIRST USE
The Juicer comes partly assembled in the box. We suggest taking it apart and washing the removable parts in warm water with a biodegradable, non-abrasive liquid detergent before the first use. This will eliminate any traces of dust or residue from manufacturing or shipping.
NOTE: Be sure to remove all protective packaging before using the Juicer.
CAUTION: Never rinse or immerse the Motor Base in water or any other liquid.
Refer to the ASSEMBLY and DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. Make sure the Juicer is properly and completely assembled before use. The Juicer will not turn on unless properly
assembled.

PREPARATION
Preparing Fruits & Vegetables for Juicing...
• Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush. If you are not using organic produce, we recommend using a biodegradable cleaner to help remove pesticide residue.
• Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any waxed fruit or vegetable.
•Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
• The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except for oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter and difficult to digest.
• Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top of the Feed Tube while juicing. The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears, and peaches should also be removed.
• The Juicer is designed to make juicing easier with an over-sized Feed Tube to accommodate larger produce -- so feed most whole or melons. Make sure produce can be fed comfortably into the Feed Tube. Use the Food Pusher to gently direct produce through the Feed Tube.
CAUTION: Never push produce into the Feed Tube with your fingers.
apples and oranges, tangerines, ginger, beets, pineapple
• Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into a small, tight ball and pushed through with the Food Pusher.
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them and residue left in the machine can clog the micro-mesh filter screen.
•Produce such as apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes should be firm for best results when juicing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure that the Juicer is completely and properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.) The Filter Basket should be securely seated and the Pulp Basket at the rear of the Juicer, ready to catch pulp.
~ Helpful Tip ~
To reduce cleaning time, line the Pulp Basket with a plastic produce
bag (the kind you put your produce in at the grocery store).
• Place the Juice Pitcher underneath the Juice Spout.
• Plug the Juicer into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
TO TURN THE JUICER ON: Slide the Control Switch to the desired speed setting (“1” or “2”) and
begin juicing. The Juicer will not operate if the Lid-Locking Lever is
not properly engaged.
NOTE: Yo u may alternate between speeds while juicing depending on the appropriate settings for the various produce being juiced. (Refer to Page 6 for suggested speed settings).
• Remove the Food Pusher from the Feed Tube.
•With the motor running, place produce into the Feed Tube.
•To re-insert the Food Pusher into the Feed Tube, the groove in the Food Pusher must aligned with the rib in the Feed Tube. Use the Food Pusher to gently direct food down the Feed Tube.
NOTE: To extract the maximum amount of juice, push the Food Pusher down slowly.
~ Helpful Tip ~
Try alternating the types of produce being juiced to ensure
maximum efficiency.
TO TURN THE JUICER OFF:
Slide the Control Switch to “0”(OFF). Be sure to unplug the Juicer from the outlet when not in use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Tips for Optimum Juicing...
To avoid excessive pulp build-up in the back of the Lid...
If excessive noise or vibrations occur after Juicer is turned on...
To manage the amount of spray as juice pours out of the Spout...
Tr y juicing slower, as wet produce is more likely to build up in the Lid. To release pulp, lightly tap on the side of the Lid. Always empty the Pulp Basket when it becomes full. This will also help prevent pulp from leaking into the juice.
Pulp may have built up on the Filter Basket. Clean the Filter Basket and try alternating different types of produce while juicing. Note: Because of the Juicer’s powerful motor, a small amount of noise and/or vibration is normal when the Juicer is turned on and as it comes to a complete stop. All Juicers will sound slightly different.
Juice the produce as slowly as possible to avoid excessive pulp buildup inside the Lid and Juice Bowl. Keep the Pulp Basket emptied for good air flow through machine.

ASSEMBLING OR REMOVING PARTS AND BEFORE CLEANING.
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be preformed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
CLEANING YOUR JUICER
THE JUICER SHOULD BE CLEANED AFTER EVERY USE... Make sure that the Juicer is unplugged from the outlet; then follow the
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
TO CLEAN THE MOTOR BASE:
Do not immerse the Motor Base in water or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth, or paper towel.
Using a sponge, wipe off the Motor Base, rubber feet and the underside of the Juicer. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice from inside the Motor Base Hub (on top of the Motor Base).
• All Juicer parts (except the Motor Base) are washable in warm, soapy water, using any liquid dishwashing detergent.
DO NOT USE ANY PRODUCTS CONTAINING AMMONIA OR SCOURING POWDERS -- These products will dull, scratch or mar the plastic surface.
TO CLEAN THE LID & JUICE BOWL:
Use the Cleaning Brush provided for scrubbing the Lid and Juice Bowl. Do not use a metal brush or pad.
TO CLEAN THE FOOD PUSHER:
For proper cleaning, remove the circular cap in the cover of the Food Pusher. To remove, grasp the cap and lift it directly out of the Food Pusher using the notches on either side for leverage. Once parts are dry, replace the cap.

facial packs and garden compost material.
REMOVING TOUGH STAINS
Due to the powerful staining properties of the carotenoids that are found in many vegetables, especially carrots, we suggest soaking the stained parts overnight in one of the following solutions:
- Biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover Juicer parts.
- 1/4 cup bleach added to a sink full of warm water.
- 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar.
- 1/2 small box baking soda in enough warm water to cover parts.
NEVER USE AMMONIA OR ABRASIVES!
After soaking overnight, lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid detergent.
OR OTHER LIQUID!
NEVER SUBMERGE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER
15
STORAGE
Store the Juicer in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never store the Juicer while it is still plugged in.
Never wrap cord tightly around appliance. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters the unit, as this could cause cord to fray and break.
