ble, turn the motor off, unplug the cord
from the outlet, and disassemble juicer

11. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the

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.

Other Consumer Safety Information
CAUTION: This appliance is not intended
for use by children.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance
has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electric 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.
The length of the cord used on this appliance
was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, 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
appliance. 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 children 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.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
Cut or Crush Hazard.
Extra-wide feed chute. Do not place hands or fingers down
feed chute. Always use the food pusher.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in serious personal
injury.

How to Use
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
Feed Chute whole. It is recommended that
fruits or vegetables, such as oranges, mel-
ons, or mangoes, are peeled before placing
in unit to minimize impact on juice flavor.
1
Ensure that unit is correctly
assembled (see pages 5 and 6)
and place a glass or container under
spout.
2
Plug cord into 120 volt AC outlet.
Turn ON/OFF Switch to ON.

the Feed Chute. Using Food Pusher, gen-
tly guide food down Feed Chute. To
extract the maximum amount of juice,
always push Food Pusher down slowly.
4
Laceration Hazard.
Never use fingers to push food down the Feed Chute or to clear
the Feed Chute. Always use the Food Pusher provided.

NOTE: Pulp Container can be emptied
during juicing by turning juice extractor
OFF and then carefully removing Pulp
Container. (Replace empty Pulp
Container before continuing to juice.)
To minimize clean-up, place a plastic
grocery bag in Pulp Container to collect

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 place
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! Laceration Hazard.
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 Strainer Basket with care; it can
be easily damaged.
Strainer Basket
Shock Hazard.
Do not immerse Motor Base in water
or any other liquid.

Troubleshooting
POSSIBLE PROBLEM

when switched “ON.”
Motor appears to stall
when juicing.
Excess pulp building up
in the Micro Mesh
strainer basket.
Pulp is too wet and
insufficient juice is
produced.
Juice sprays out of spout.
Juice drips out of spout
immediately after juicing.
Machine vibrates
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
either side of the Juice Cover. Refer to pages
5 and 6, Steps 4 and 5.
The juicing action may be too vigorous. Try
slower juicing action by pushing the Food

Step 4.
Wet pulp can build up under the Juicer Cover
or Pulp Container. Turn unit OFF and unplug.
Empty the Pulp Bin then clean Juice Cover

Turn OFF and unplug. Remove strainer basket
and clean mesh walls with a fine brush. This
will remove excess fiber build-up which could
be inhibiting the juice flow. Refer to pages 8
and 9.
