IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put cord, plugs,
or appliance in water or other liquid.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
5. Turn the appliance OFF. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before
putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp
the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
6. Avoid contacting moving parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug
or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Contact the manufacturer at their customer
service telephone number for information on examination, repair,
or adjustment.
8. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

2
Do not touch sharp blade in the base of the juicing disc.
11. Do not let cord contact any hot surface, including the stove.
Make sure the juicer is properly assembled before operating.
12. Always make sure the juice extractor cover is locked securely
in place before the extractor is turned on. Do not unfasten locking
bar while the juice extractor is in operation. Vibration can occur
during normal operation.
13. Turn the speed dial to Power (OFF) and unplug from electrical
outlet after each use of your juice extractor. Make sure the motor
is completely stopped before disassembling. Do not use any frozen
fruit/vegetables in this machine. This juicer is designed to juice
fresh fruits and vegetables only.
14. Do not put your fingers or other objects into the juice extractor
opening while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the feed
tube, use the food pusher or another piece of fruit or vegetable
to push it down. When this method is not possible, turn the speed
dial to Power (OFF), unplug the juice extractor from the electrical
outlet, and disassemble the juice extractor to remove remaining
food. When juicing hard fruits or vegetables, always juice on the
high speed settings (settings 4 or 5). Failure to do so will cause
damage to the juicer motor. Do not juice harder fruits on any of
the lower speed settings which is meant for juicing softer fruits and
vegetables.
15. Do not use the appliance if the rotating juicing blades and basket
are damaged.
16. Use care when handling the stainless steel blade basket.
Hold the basket’s rim only. Do not touch the cutter blades
on the bottom of the basket. The cutter blades are very sharp!
17. Do not operate without the pulp container in place.
Please see assembly instructions for proper placement.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS

manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.
2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC
electrical outlet only.
3. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
4. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately turn
the speed dial to Power (OFF) and unplug the cord.
Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.
5. If this appliance falls or accidentally becomes immersed in water,
unplug it immediately. Do not reach into the water! Do not use this
appliance after it has fallen into or becomes immersed in water.
6. To reduce the risk of injury to persons or property, never use this
appliance in an unstable position.
7. Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.
8. Pay special attention to the amount of pulp and residue produced
while juicing. Always empty a full pulp container before continuing
to juice.
9. Always ensure that the anti-drip spout is in the OPEN position when
juicing. The anti-drip spout should only be used to prevent dripping
when the juice jar is removed.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES ON THE PLUG
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 into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
NOTES ON THE CORD
The provided short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply
cord) should be used ato reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If an extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should
be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over
the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.

5
PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of
the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the
counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to
darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
The juice extractor comes almost completely assembled in the box.
1. Your extractor may be shipped with a protective cardboard insert between the clear
cover and the blade basket. Remove this and any other protective packaging before
using your juice extractor. Also included in the box is a cleaning brush.
2. Following the disassembly instructions, remove the food pusher from the feed tube, then
the cover, juice bowl with stainless steel blade basket.
3. Wash all removable parts (food pusher, clear cover, juice bowl, pulp basket, and juice
jug with lid) in warm water with a biodegradable, non-abrasive liquid detergent. Rinse
well and air-dry. This will eliminate any traces of dust or residue from manufacturing or
shipping.
Caution: Use care when handling the blade basket. Hold the basket’s rim only.
Do not touch the cutter blades on the bottom of the basket. The cutter blades are very
sharp!
Caution: Never rinse or immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
