IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ THESE SAFEGUARDS CAREFULLY BEFORE
USING THIS PRODUCT!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN! Keep out of the reach of children to avoid injury.
This appliance is not a toy.
• Do not operate this or any appliance with a damaged Power Cord or plug.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use.
• Do not operate if appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or appears
damaged in any manner. Never attempt home repairs. Only a qualied
appliance technician should repair the appliance before re-use.
• Do not use any attachments or utensils that were not recommended or
supplied by the manufacturer. The use of attachments not recommended or
sold by the manufacturer may cause serious hazardous situations including
re, electric shock or personal injury.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock or injury, never immerse Power Cord,
plug, or main unit in water, or other liquids.
• Do not let the Power Cord hang over the edge of the table, counter, or come
in direct contact with hot surfaces such as stoves.
• Make sure the Lid is attached properly and is securely locked before operating
the Power Juicer. (See Assembly Step 5.)
• Make sure the motor stops completely and the unit is unplugged from the
electrical outlet before disassembling, assembling or cleaning.
• Should juicer suddenly stop or develop excessive vibration or unusually loud
noise, shut off and unplug unit immediately. Wait for the Filter/Blade to stop
running then disassemble and clean thoroughly before reassembling.
• To avoid risk of personal injury keep hands and utensils out of the juicer and
away from its sharp Filter/Blade during operation. Use the Pusher, not ngers
or utensils, to insert the produce into the juicer.
• Never disengage the Locking Bar during operation.
• The juicer Filter/Blade is extremely sharp. Use extreme caution when handling.
• Should food become lodged in the Chute, and moderate Pusher pressure
will not dislodge it, turn the Power Switch “OFF”. Allow the motor to stop
completely then unplug the Power Cord. Disassemble the juicer and remove
the blocked food.
• Avoid personal injury. Never assemble the unit without using all components
in their proper sequence, making certain the Filter/Blade is properly seated in
the Receptacle.

• The juicer will not run if the unit is not properly assembled. The motor has
a built-in safety feature that will not allow the power to turn on unless the
Locking Bar is locked in place.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Be sure to turn Power Switch to “OFF” position after each use of your juicer.
Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
• Do not use the appliance if the rotating Filter is damaged.
* This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will t in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, contact a qualied 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.
