not touch the small cutting blades in the
base of the stainless steel strainer bas-
ket.
17. Keep hair, clothing, and jewelry, as well
as spatulas and other utensils, away
from feed chute during operation to
prevent the possibility of severe injury
to persons and/or damage to the
appliance.

and/or damage to the appliance, do not
use bent, dented or otherwise damaged
strainer basket.
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Other Consumer Safety Information
CAUTION: This appliance is not intended
for use by children.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary,
only an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the
rating of the juice extractor. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that
it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by chil-
dren or accidentally tripped over.
The electrical rating of this appliance is
listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
The strainer basket is a delicate screen.
If bent or damaged, do not use, as it could
break into small pieces and cause personal
injury and/or damage the appliance. Call our
toll-free customer service number to order a
new basket. Replace basket when it shows
signs of wear.
Before First Use
After unpacking the juice extractor, remove cardboard from filter basket and wash
everything except the base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately.
Never immerse the base in water or other liquids; wipe it with a damp sponge.
wWARNING

Wash fruits and vegetables.
NOTE: Most fruits and vegetables
such as apples, carrots, and cucumbers
will not need to be cut since they will fit
into the Feed Chute whole. It is recom-
mended that fruits or vegetables, such as
oranges, melons, or mangoes, are peeled
before placing in juice extractor to mini-
mize impact on juice flavor.
Ensure that the juice extractor
is correctly assembled (see
pages 5 and 6) and place a glass
or container under the spout.
Plug cord into 120 volt AC outlet.
Turn the ON/OFF Switch to ON.
How to Use
Juice will flow into the glass
and the separated pulp will
accumulate in the Pulp Container.
NOTE: The Pulp Container can be
emptied during juicing by turning the
juice extractor OFF and then carefully
removing the Pulp Container.
(Replace empty Pulp Container
before continuing to juice.)
With the motor running, place food
down the Feed Chute. Using the Food
Pusher, gently guide food down the
Feed Chute. To extract the maximum
amount of juice, always push the
Food Pusher down slowly.
To minimize clean-up, place a plastic
grocery bag in the Pulp Container
to collect the pulp. When juicing is
completed, simply remove the
grocery bag containing the pulp.
NOTE: Do not allow Pulp Container
to overfill as this may prevent cor-
rect operation or damage the unit.

Care and Cleaning
• After disassembling the unit (see
page 8) all removable parts may be
washed in hot, soapy water.
• All plastic parts of the juice extractor
can be placed in the bottom or top
rack of the dishwasher. Do not the
Motor Base in the dishwasher.
Some part distortion may occur if
your household dishwasher’s temper-
ature is higher than normal or if the
parts are placed too close to the
heating element.
• Wipe the Motor Base with a damp
cloth.
• Discoloration of the plastic may occur
with some fruit and vegetables. To
help prevent this, wash all parts
immediately after use.
NOTE:
• To assist with cleaning, soak the
Strainer Basket in hot, soapy water
for approximately 10 minutes imme-
diately after juicing is completed. If
pulp is left to dry on the basket it may
clog the fine pores of the filter mesh
thereby lessening the effectiveness of
the juice extractor.
CAUTION: The center of the strainer
basket contains small, sharp blades
to process fruits and vegetables
during the juicing function.
Do not touch blades when handling
the strainer basket.
• The cleaning brush included with the
unit is the most effective way to clean
the Strainer Basket. Using the brush,
hold the Strainer Basket under run-
ning water and brush inside and
outside of the basket. Always treat
the StrainerBasket with care; it can
be easily damaged.
wWARNING
To reduce the risk of electric
shock do not immerse Motor
Base in water or any other liquid.

Pulp is too wet and
insufficient juice is
produced.
Juice sprays out of spout.

excessively.
EASY SOLUTION
The Locking Latches may not be correctly
engaged. Check to see if the Locking Latches
are properly positioned in the two grooves on
