Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Green Star Juice
Extractor – the ORIGINAL Twin Gear Juice Extractor. With Green Star,
you can juice a wide variety of fruits and vegetables – from carrots and
apples, to wheatgrass and pine needles, all without having to stop and
change any parts! You can also use your Green Star Juice Extractor to
make other delicious foods such as pastas, baby foods, breadsticks, nut
butters, pâtés, frozen fruit sorbets, and much more!
The revolutionary Heavy Duty Twin Gear design incorporates an impeller
press system that rotates at a low 110 rpm and generates little heat while
juicing. The patented twin gears also have magnetic and bioceramic
technology that produces fresher juice that can be stored longer, with
minimal loss of the precious enzyme and vitamin content in the juice.
After unpacking your Green Star and checking that all of the specified
parts are there, take some time to become familiar with your new juicer
before you start juicing. It is a good idea to disassemble and reassemble
your machine a few times to become familiar with how all of the parts fit
together properly. Many parts have been included as standard parts to
make your juicing experience easier and to enhance the versatility of the
food preparation capabilities.
We recommend that you rinse all of the parts in lukewarm water before
you first use your Green Star Juice Extractor. Now you are ready to
begin juicing with your Green Star Juicer. We hope you enjoy your Green
Star experience, as it helps you embark on your journey to better
nutrition and better health.

Safety Reminder: Make sure to unplug the machine before assembling.
GREEN STAR ASSEMBLY
1. Slide the Twin Gear Housing onto the
main body with the Latching Arm Knobs
loosened and the Latching Arms open.
2. Very Important!
Assemble the Twin Gears as follows:
Find the ‘Locating Dots’ marked on the
end surface of each gear. Position the
single dot on one gear between the two
dots on the other gear. Holding the Twin
Gears in this position, and with the Free
Wheel Gear on the right, slide them into
the Twin Gear Housing. Once the gears
come to a stop, slowly turn the gears and
continue to push in until the gears lock
into position.
Hint : To check whether the Twin Gears are seated
properly, try to turn the gears with your hands. If you
can turn the gears, they are not seated properly.
Also, look down the feeding chute – if any part of
the drive shaft in front of the drive gear is visible,
the gears are not seated properly. Rotate the gears
while pushing them in until they lock into position.
WARNING! Failure to properly seat the Twin
Gears could result in damage to the Gears and the
Drive Shaft, which may not be covered under the
warranty.
Note : Before putting your machine away for future
use, cover the Feeding Chute with its protective lid
once it has been cleaned and dried. Simply place
the Feeding Chute Lid on top of the Feeding Chute,
with the two “ears” pointing to the sides of the juicer
and the oval end of the lid toward the front of the
machine. Gently push it down into position. Remove
lid before using the juicer.
Insert the Feeding Chute into the Twin
Gear Housing “neck”, with the small
rectangular tab toward the rear of the
machine.

GREEN STAR ASSEMBLY (Cont’d)
3. Slide the desired Screen or Blank over
the Twin Gears and into the Twin Gear
Housing.
4. Slide the Pulp Discharge Casing over
the Twin Gear Housing.
5. Close each Latching Arm and tighten by
turning both Latching Arm Knobs
clockwise.
6. Attach the Outlet Adjusting Knob by
inserting it into the Pulp Discharge
Casing and turning it clockwise until it is
snug. Do not over tighten.
7. Attach the Safety Tray to the Feeding
Chute.

13
Safety Reminder: Make sure to unplug from the outlet before disassembly
GREEN STAR DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the Safety Tray by lifting it
vertically from the Feeding Chute.
2. Turn the Outlet Adjusting Knob counter-
clockwise until it separates from its
threads; then pull it out from its grooves.
3. Turn the Latching Arm Knobs counter-
clockwise to loosen. Open the Latching
Arms horizontally outward on their hinges.
4. Remove the Pulp Discharge Casing.

14
GREEN STAR DISASSEMBLY (Cont’d)
5. Remove the Screen. The Twin Gears may
come out with it. Be careful not to drop
the Twin Gears.
6. Slide the Twin Gears out.
7. Remove the Twin Gear Housing by
gently pulling it away from the body of the
machine.
Note : The Twin Gears on your juicer never need sharpening. They are not
blades that cut, chip or tear the produce – which can lead to heat that
may destroy enzyme activity. Instead, the Twin Gears work by “biting”
off small bits of produce at a time – much like your teeth – and does
not heat up your juice.

Screens ----- Which Screen Do You Use?
Using the Plastic Plunger
The Plastic Plunger is specially designed to push food down the Feeding Chute without
the plunger touching the gears. To use the plastic plunger, make sure that the safety tray
is attached and press down with the plunger.
NEVER USE THE PLASTIC PLUNGER WITHOUT THE SAFETY TRAY ATTACHED.
Using the Wooden Plunger
Don’t be afraid of the wooden plunger touching the twin gears while juicing. Touching the
plunger to the twin gears will not harm the gears or the plunger. The plunger is made from
the same high quality wood as many fine chopping blocks, so any accidental particles of
cellulose scraped off by the Twin Gears are non-toxic and will pass harmlessly with the
pulp.
Using the Drip Tray
Position the drip tray with the narrow end underneath the pulp discharge outlet. Rest the
front two legs of the juicer on top of the corners of the wide end of the drip tray. Place the
juice pitcher on top of the drip tray to collect juice.
Juicing Wheatgrass (Also Barley Grass, Alfalfa & Others)
1.
Assemble Green Star with the Fine Screen for maximum juice extraction and pulp separation.
2. Tighten the Outlet Adjusting Knob completely.
3. With the power switch in the “on” position; place a handful of wheatgrass (approx. 3/4
inch in diameter) tip down, into the Feeding Chute.
15
MACHINE SETUP
B
1. Fine Screen -
makes the clearest juice by separating the most
pulp from your juice. The pressure built up inside the machine may
push a minimal amount of pulp into the juice. Use to juice most
types of produce, including: carrot, parsley, kale, wheatgrass, other
green leafy vegetables and herbs, apples, and all other types of
produce.
2. Coarse Screen - allows some pulp to mix with the juice. Use
it any time you want more pulp to mix into your juice. (optional
for GS-1000)
3. Homogenizing Blank (Open Blank) - to puree, make
frozen desserts, baby foods, nut butters, apple sauce, pâté, relish,
etc. Use with: grains, garlic, banana, strawberry, nuts, etc. To use
the Homogenizing Blank, insert side “A” first with hole “B” facing
downwards, over the Twin Gears and into the Twin Gear Housing.

16
4. After a few drops of juice come out from the Pulp Discharge Outlet, loosen
the Outlet Adjusting Knob about halfway.
5. Carrots, apples and other fruits and vegetables can be added to create a
milder tasting combination for those who have not yet acquired a taste for
pure wheatgrass juice.
6. If you notice excess foam, try refrigerating your gears before juicing
wheatgrass, and spraying the wheatgrass with cold water before juicing.
Note: Please refer to “Wheatgrass Delight ”on page 22.

Making Pasta
1. Attach the Twin Gear Housing to the juicer body.
2. Insert the Pasta Screw onto the motor drive shaft
(left side as you are looking at the front of the body).
3. Put the Pasta Guide over the Pasta Screw, making sure
the long side of the Pasta Guide faces to the left side.
4. Select the pasta type that is desired from the two
shapes provided on the Pasta Screen and fit it
onto the Pasta Guide.
5. Tighten the Latching Arm Knobs.
6. The machine is now ready to make pasta.
7. Be sure the dough is
not too moist.
Making Breadsticks, Bagels, Rice Cakes (Mochi), etc.
1. Assemble Green Star with the Bread Stick Blank instead
of the fine screen.
2. Attach the Pulp Discharge Casing to the Twin Gear
Housing, thus locking the Bread Stick Blank into position.
3. Unscrew the Outlet Adjusting Knob (not shown here) from
the Pulp Discharge Casing and replace it with
the Bread Stick Guide.
4. Place the Safety Tray into position.
5. Add ingredients to be used into the
Feeding Chute. Soaked grains are
great for making raw ‘dough’.
Use cooked sticky white rice
to make rice cakes.

Proper Cleaning Lengthens the Lifespan of the Juice Extractor
●Since the GS extracts minerals, such as calcium, from the produce so well, we
recommend cleaning all of the juicer parts immediately after use to prevent mineral
build-up, which can cause problems.
●Completely disassemble the Pulp Discharge Casing and Twin Gear Housing
sections. Immerse them in water and clean them with the Cleaning Brush, which is
provided for your convenience.
●After cleaning the juice extractor, let it air-dry thoroughly.
To Remove Calcium and Mineral Deposits from the Twin Gears
●After using the machine for some time, you may notice a calcium or mineral deposit
on the surfaces of the Twin Gear unit. To remove calcium or mineral deposits from
your Twin Gears: After juicing carrots, feed some of the carrot pulp back through the
machine and then add some granulated sugar (Ratio: one tablespoon of carrot pulp
to one or two teaspoons of granulated sugar). Alternate pulp and sugar several times
and then run the machine. Make sure to disassemble and thoroughly clean all of the
juicing parts.
Cleaning Green Star
●Make sure the machine is switched off and unplugged from the wall. Store the cord
in the Cord Storage Compartment.
●Because your Green Star Juicer extracts calcium and other minerals from the fruits
and vegetables, it is essential to wash your juicer parts immediately after use;
otherwise, mineral deposits may form and cause problems.
●Rinse and scrub your parts under warm running water and use a mild detergent to
clean the parts.
●Disassemble the juicer as shown on page 13-14 and immerse each component in
lukewarm water. Clean out all the pulp with the multipurpose Cleaning Brush
provided, using the thinner end to force out the pulp, which normally collects in the
Pulp Discharge Outlet.
●When using the Fine Screen, brush away from the corners, avoiding a build-up of
pulp, which will be difficult to remove later.
●Under no circumstances should you allow water to enter the main body of the
machine. Please refer to HELPFUL HINTS (page 20).
●Rinse all soapy water from the components; dry them thoroughly before they are
reassembled.
●You will notice that some of the inside surfaces may get stained during operation by
natural pigments found in your vegetables. This is considered normal, and may not
be able to be removed.
●NEVER use harsh chemicals, such as bleach, to remove food stains from the juicer.
●NEVER drop any of the components, particularly the Twin Gears. Our warranty does
not cover accidental damage.
●Do not put any parts into the dishwasher.

Changing the Fuse
1. Unplug the juicer and store the cord in the Cord Storage Compartment.
2. Locate the square plate on the bottom of the GS Juice Extractor. Using a small Phillips Head screwdriver, remove the two
screws that hold the plate in position. Remove the square plate.
3. Find the round, capsule-shaped, milky-colored fuse casing. There is a white wire
extending from each end of the capsule.
4. Grasp one end of the fuse casing between your thumb and forefinger of one hand;
and the other end of the fuse casing in the other hand. Push both ends toward the
center and twist to open the fuse holder. Release both ends.
5. Remove the old fuse from the casing and discard properly. Place a new fuse into
the casing. Close the fuse casing by reversing the procedure in Step 4, above.
6. Replace the square bottom plate and the two screws to secure to plate. If your Green Star Juice Extractor still experiences
problems after troubleshooting, please contact your nearest authorized service center.
Green Star requires special repair procedures. Repairs beyond the scope of the Troubleshooting Chart should never be attempted
by anyone other than an authorized service center. Repairs made other than by an authorized service center will void your
warranty.
If the machine has stopped running, please wait 10 minutes and try turning it on again.
In the unlikely event that the Feeding Chute becomes jammed while juicing or processing any food items:
A. Put the “ON/OFF” switch in the “REVERSE” position to dislodge the food.
B. If this does not work, TURN THE MACHINE OFF AND DISCONNECT IT FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET (FOR SAFETY).
Use a blunt tool to loosen whatever food is lodged in the Feeding Chute.
WARNING: Never stick a knife, spoon, or other foreign object down the feeding chute while the machine is in operation!
