does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify or force the plug
in any way.
• Do not operate without the pulp container in place.
SAFETY FEATURES
The Power Juicer was designed with safety in mind.
Induction Motor
Your Power Juicer contains an induction motor which not only makes it whisper
quiet, but prolongs the life of your juicer. If you press down on the Pusher too
hard, or overload the machine with fruits and vegetables, the motor may jam,
which will create heat inside, and may cause the unit to shut down, and you may
also smell smoke. If this occurs, turn off the Power Switch and unplug the unit.
Then follow the disassembly, cleaning, and assembly process. Allow 10 minutes
for it to cool. After the 10 minutes you may resume juicing.
Built-In Thermal Cut-Off Switch/Automatic Shut Off
The Power Juicer is equipped with the Built-In Thermal Cut-Off Switch/
Automatic Shut Off feature that shuts off the motor if the unit becomes jammed
or overheated during the juicing process. Prior to shut down, you will most likely
hear the juicer get louder indicating that something has caused the motor to
strain. Should this happen, simply turn off the Power Switch and unplug the
unit. Follow the Disassembly, Cleaning and Assembly process and allow
10 minutes for it to cool. After the 10 minutes you may resume juicing.
The Locking Bar
The Locking Bar holds the juicer Lid/Pulp Guard in place and is connected to an
Auto Shut-Off Switch. If the Locking Bar is not in its full upright and locked
position, the juicer will not start. This is to prevent accidental contact with the
spinning Blade. If the machine is not locked, the motor will not engage and the
Blade will not spin.

In order to assure that your juicing experience will be a pleasant one, we have
included this “Step-by-Step Guide to Juicing”. Juicing is a quick and satisfying
way to get the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals from fresh fruits and vegetables…
a few minutes well spent for a lifetime of good health benets!
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO JUICING
5 Simple Steps to Get Started
Before You Begin
While we manufacture and ship under the highest standards,
we recommend you clean your Power Juicer before rst use.
Step 1
Remove all packing materials including those found inside the machine between
the Lid and the Blade.
NOTE: If you do not remove the paper Blade Protector from the inside of the
machine before starting the motor, you will hear a loud noise and possibly
cause the machine to temporarily shut down.
Step 2
Disassemble and wash before rst use. Reassemble making sure the Blade
is secure and Locking Bar is locked into place. The motor will not turn on if
machine is not assembled properly.
Note: See Assembly and Disassembly instructions on pages 6-10 in this
Operating Manual.
Step 3
Lower the Juice Spout into the downward position.
Step 4
Plug the Power Cord into a 120-volt wall outlet and turn on machine. Let the
juicer run for approximately 5–10 seconds before produce is inserted into
the Chute. This will balance the Blade. (During the manufacturing process, a few
drops of motor lubricant may have dripped into the motor housing causing a
burn off odor. This is normal and will dissipate with initial use.)
Step 5
Remove Pusher, insert produce, then replace Pusher quickly. Do not force
produce down the Chute. Apply a gentle pressure, this will help the Pusher
process the produce.
IMPORTANT: If you apply too much pressure it can cause the motor to
strain and possibly shut down. Do not overll the chute with produce
because this may jam the juicer and cause it to shut down. This can also
cause a juice overow in the receptacle.

Helpful Tips
Clean Up
Wash all components before initial use. For fast and easy cleanup, rinse
components under warm water, or place in dishwasher immediately after juicing.
Pulp Collector: For quicker and easier cleanup, you can insert a plastic bag
inside Pulp Collector to discard after juicing or simply rinse out Pulp Collector
or place in dishwasher.
Balancing the Filter/Blade, 5-10 Seconds is All it Takes
It is necessary to run the machine for approximately 5-10 seconds each time
before inserting any produce to be juiced. This lets the Filter/Blade balance itself
before coming into contact with the item to be juiced. Hard produce, such as
carrots, can cause the Filter/Blade to become unbalanced. If this should happen,
continue to process until the Filter/Blade comes back to balance. If the Filter/
Blade doesn’t rebalance, turn the power off and wait for the Filter/Blade to stop
spinning. Disassemble the machine to check for any food that may be stuck on
the Filter/Blade causing this unbalance.
IMPORTANT:One of the great features of the Power Juicer is its extra large
Chute, which speeds up the juicing process by cutting down on prep time.
Still you must be careful not to force anything into the opening that is too
big and might result in jamming the Filter/Blade, causing the “Built-In
Thermal Cut-Off Switch/ Automatic Shut Off” to engage and shut down the
unit temporarily. Always put softer fruits and vegetables in rst followed
by the more rm ones. When inserting produce into the Chute, you must
replace the Pusher quickly to prevent the produce from popping out of the
Chute. Also, do not overll the chute with produce because this may jam the
juicer and cause is to shut down. This can also cause a juice overow in the
receptacle.
“Auto-Motor-Saver Shutdown” Feature
Unlike other juicers, the Power Juicer is equipped with a special feature that
automatically shuts off the motor should the unit become jammed during the
juicing process. Should this happen, simply follow the Disassembly, Cleaning, and
Assembly process, then allow the unit to cool for 10 minutes. The unit will restart
and you may resume the juicing process.
Gentle Pressure Using the Pusher
When juicing, applying gentle pressure with the Pusher is sufcient. Never apply
excessive force to the Pusher as this may stop the Filter/Blade. This can also
cause the juice to come out of the side of the receptacle.
12 13
Helpful Tips
The Juice Spout
Make sure to lower the Juice Spout. The Juicer comes packed with the Spout in the
upward (closed) position. If you forget to lower the Spout, juice will back up in the
Receptacle and will overow from the sides. This back up could also cause the motor
to seize. After juicing, lift the Juice Spout in the upward position to avoid
messy dripping.
Noise and Vibration
Sometimes when you juice you’ll hear a bit more noise than the normal whisper-
quiet juicing you’ve come to expect from your Power Juicer. This noise may also
be accompanied by a little extra vibrating. This is alright; it is just the juicer
processing the food. Be patient and let the Power Juicer work.
The Benets of Juicing
We are not suggesting you replace the recommended daily consumption of fruits
and vegetables with juicing. They should be done in conjunction. Consuming whole
fruits and vegetables daily helps you get the much needed ber they have to offer.
Juicing is just a quick way to get many of the health benets you need from fresh
food, including antioxidants and nutrients that help your body stay healthy. It just
eliminates the digestion process for quicker absorption.
Get the Most From Your Power Juicer
Some varieties of produce are more difcult to juice than others. The chart on
page 16-17 will help take the guess work out of juicing. The amount of juice
you produce depends on which fruits and vegetables you select. Produce such as
oranges, apples, melons, and cucumbers tend to yield more juice and should be
mixed with others that don’t.
General Guidelines for Juicing
Due to personal preferences and nutritional opinions, it is difcult to determine
an individual’s eating habits. Therefore, we recommend juicing produce the way
you would normally consume it in its raw state, eg: remove peel from an orange.
Before juicing any produce, it is important to wash it thoroughly to remove all
contaminants including soil and pesticides.
Skins, Stems and Seeds
Skins Juicing with the skins on is a personal preference with most produce.
Stems The only stems that are benecial to process are grape stems. All others
should be removed as they have nothing to offer.
Seeds Removing seeds is discretionary due to certain health risks associated with
certain produce.
14
Helpful Tips
Carrots
Carrots can be a bit challenging to juice due to their dense nature. Never over
stuff the Chute. Always leave some “wiggle room” to avoid jamming the Chute.
Once carrots have been inserted, replace the Pusher into the Chute. Apply gentle
pressure. This will help to stabilize the carrots down the chute.
Citrus Fruits
Orange and grapefruit peel is bitter in taste and should be removed. When peeling,
however, leave the pith on (white soft layer between peel and fruit) and juice it
to get all the vitamins. Lemon and lime are used to avor dishes, so peel may be
left on for more avor when juicing. To juice with the skin, use a slow gentle
pressure. Apply a bit more pressure if necessary, but do not use excessive force
with the Pusher.
Juicing Leafy Produce
Leafy produce process best when rolled in a bunch, fed into the Chute, then
followed by fruits or vegetables containing a larger volume of juice such as celery,
tomato, or cucumber. See chart pages 16-17.
Mangos, Apricots and Peaches
IMPORTANT: Always remove pits.
Do not put any produce in the juicer with pits. Pits may damage the Blade causing
the motor to seize voiding your warranty.
Pomegranates and Cherries
These wonder fruits can absolutely be juiced. When juicing cherries it is
necessary to remove the pits. We recommend using a cherry pitter. When juicing
pomegranate (seeds) it is necessary to separate the seeds from the outer skin and
the inner membrane before they can be processed.
Pineapples and Melons
Although the juicer can process the whole fruit, the juice tastes best when the
rind is removed. Again, this is a personal preference. The “stringy” consistency of
very ripe pineapple may sometimes cause blockage in the spout requiring periodic
cleaning to avoid back-up and overow in the Receptacle.
14 15
Helpful Tips
Berries and Small Fruits
Juicing berries may seem a bit challenging at rst, but once you get the hang
of it you will love the great avors they add to your juice. Not to mention the
health benets they have to offer. When juicing berries (except cranberries) you
will need to add something that contains a larger volume of juice such as an
apple or orange. For example, process the berries rst (you may not see a lot of
juice come out at rst), then add an apple or an orange, something that is juicy.
Once you process this, you will see the berry juice come pouring out.
Fresh Juice Looks Different...
You will be making FRESH JUICE... With no additives, food coloring or added
sugar, so it may look different from the commercially processed juice available in
stores. Fresh juice tends to have a thin layer of foam on top. A quick stir with a
spoon will incorporate it back into the juice or you may remove it if you prefer.
The Power of Pulp
We like to say that with the Power Juicer, nothing is wasted, that’s why we have
also included some easy ”pulp-friendly” food recipes for soups, mufns, salsa,
and more. If you like pulp in your juice, take some from the Pulp Collector and
add it back to your juice with a quick stir to mix it in.
Emptying The Pulp Collector
When juicing in large volumes be sure to empty the Pulp Collector often. A pulp
“back-up” into the Filter can cause the motor to shut off. Inserting a plastic
bag inside the Pulp Collector before juicing large quantities makes for quick
emptying during the process and easy clean up when you’re done.
Following these tips,
your juicing experience
is sure to be a delightful one!

DO NOT JUICE
Some fruits and vegetables cannot be juiced due to their inability to
produce juice. Although they are unable to be juiced, that does not
mean we should not enjoy them on a daily basis as part of a healthy diet.
Examples are: avocado, banana, and coconut.
Never use the green tops of rhubarb. Oxalic acid is toxic in the leaves.
There are so many other healthy fruits and vegetables available that it’s
just easier and safer to skip rhubarb as a juice source.
STEP 1:
Disassemble the unit per instructions
(page 6-7). Locate removable Juice Spout
Locking Mechanism on the
bottom side of the Receptacle.
Note: Juice Spout will be in
the locked position.
STEP 3:
Lift up Juice Spout carefully from
Receptacle and remove to clean.
To Reattach: Insert Juice Spout back into
original position and turn the Locking
Mechanism clockwise to lock into place.
STEP 2:

CLEANING YOUR JUICER
We have made juicer clean up as easy as possible. All of the components,
with exception of the motor Base, can be put in your home dishwasher TOP
RACK ONLY. Place components in the top rack (only) as temperatures near
the bottom drying element may vary with manufacturer.
Caution: Some commercial- and foreign-made dishwashers may reach internal
temperatures that are higher than machines made for home use by U.S.
standards. Do not use these dishwashers with your Power Juicer. The higher
temperatures may cause damage to your juicer. Check with your dishwasher
manufacturer before using.
For easiest clean up, we recommend you rinse/clean your Power Juicer
immediately after juicing. This will help prevent fruit/vegetable bers from
hardening on the components, making it more difcult to clean.
• Turn off the Power Switch and wait until the motor completely stops.
• With dry hands, unplug the Power Cord from electrical outlet.
• Disassemble the machine. (See Disassembly instructions pages 6-7.)
• Wipe Base with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Do not submerge Base in water.
Do not spray the Base with water or any other liquid. Base is not dishwasher
safe. IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive sponges, cloths, or cleansers as these
can damage the nish.
• Clean all other parts in warm, soapy water. A mild detergent is recommended.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
• To clean the Filter/Blade, hold under warm
running water. Use a bristled dish washing
brush to gently clean pulp from Filter. Rinse
the Filter/Blade from the outside under running
water. If your sink has a spray hose attachment,
this is especially effective for loosening ber
from the Filter and the Blade before placing
them in the dishwasher.
• Dry components thoroughly then assemble the
machine and turn the power on to spin out
any excess water.
• Make sure unit and parts are completely dry, then store in a cool, dry place.
18 19
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Check if unit is plugged in.
• Check if Locking Bar is locked in place properly.
• Check if all parts are assembled properly.
• Check if there is any residue left between Blade
and Receptacle.
• Check if all parts are assembled properly
and in the correct position.
• Juicing overripe fruit may result in too much
pulp and will clog the Filter. Turn machine off
and clean the Filter.
• Too much pressure may have been applied
with the Pusher while processing causing the
motor to accidentally overheat. Power down,
disassemble, clean and allow to cool; see page 4.
• Juicing overripe fruit may result in too much
pulp and will clog the Filter. Turn machine off
and clean the Filter.
• Make sure the Juice Spout is in the downward
position while juicing. If it is in the upward

Problem Possible Reasons and Solution
20
Q. Why won’t the power turn on?
A. First, make certain the Juicer’s Power Cord is plugged into a working 110-volt
electrical outlet, then check that the switch is in the “ON” position. Then, check
that all parts are assembled properly. The unit has a Built-In safety device that
will not let the motor turn on if not assembled properly. The Power Juicer also
has a built-in Thermal Cut-Off Safety Switch. If the machine was running then
shut down due to accidental overheating, then there is a 10-minute cooling time
before the machine will restart. This helps to protect the motor from seizing.
Q. Can I order spare parts?
A. Yes, you can visit us on the web at www.powerjuicer.com under the parts
heading. Replacement parts are also available on the back inside cover of the
operating manual or call 973-287-5150.
Q. Why is my Power Juicer clogged?
A. This may happen for a number of reasons:
1. Pulp collector is full and needs to be emptied.
2. If the fruit you are using is over ripe.
3. If there is too much pulp in the Filter/Blade. Turn the machine off, unplug the
Power Cord, and clean the Filter/Blade.
4. Fruits such as avocados or bananas cannot be juiced in the Power Juicer.
5. The Spout may be blocked by a piece of pulp that may have passed through
the Filter/Blade causing the juice to collect in the Receptacle and overflow.
Turn the machine off, unplug the Power Cord, wait for the Filter/Blade to stop
spinning and inspect the Spout. Clear the blockage so the juice can flow freely.
Q. Can I put the whole fruit in the Power Juicer?
A. Yes, as long as it fits in the Chute and does not have pits, tough skin or
stems. We recommend that you maintain your personal produce preferences
in their “fresh state” as juice, rather than a less nutrient rich “cooked” form.
Before juicing any produce, it is important to wash it thoroughly to remove all
contaminants including soil and pesticides.
Q. Can I put whole fruits with large pits in the Power Juicer?
A. No, remove pits, as they will damage the Filter/Blade and possibly the unit.
Q. Can I put all components in the dishwasher?
A. All components are dishwasher-safe (with the exception of the motor housing)
in a household dishwasher manufactured to US standards. Avoid European made
or commercial dishwashers. Some commercial- or foreign-made dishwashers may
reach internal temperatures that are higher than machines made for home use
by US standards. Do not use these dishwashers with your Power Juicer. The higher
temperatures may cause damage to your juicer voiding your warranty. Check
with your dishwasher manufacturer before using.
Q. How can I make smoothies if you cannot add milk, yogurt, ice or bananas
to the Power Juicer?
A. The Power Juicer will not make smoothies, only fresh juice for smoothies. Add all
smoothie ingredients separately in a blender.
Q. What is the diameter of the feed Chute?
A. The inside diameter of the Chute is approximately 3”.
Q. How can I juice carrots?
