READ THESE SAFEGUARDS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed including the following:
• Always remove power cord from electrical outlet before assembly or disassembly.
• NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN! Keep out of the reach of children to avoid injury.
This appliance is not a toy.
• Consult your physician before giving fresh juice to children, especially infants.
• Be sure to turn to OFF position after each use of your juicer
• TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY: Never look inside the chute while the machine is running.
Especially when using fruits or vegetables that contain pits. Shut down the machine and wait
for the blade to stop spinning. Remove power cord from electrical outlet before removing
the pits from the chute.
• Make sure the lid is attached properly and securely locked before operating the Juicer.
• Do not unfasten the locking bar during operation.
• To avoid risk of injury keep hands and utensils out of the juicer and away from its sharp blade
during operation.
• Use the pusher, not fingers or utensils, to propel the food into the juicer.
• Should food become lodged in the opening use pusher to push it down. If food remains stuck, turn
the power off, wait until motor stops, unit shuts down completely, and is unplugged
before disassembling the juicer and removing the blocked food.
• Make sure the motor stops completely and the unit is unplugged from the electrical
outlet before cleaning, putting on or removing parts.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock or injury, never immerse power cord,
plug, or main unit in water, or other liquids.
• If juicer stops due to improper operation or if there is excessive noise, turn power off, wait for
blade to stop spinning, unplug from electrical outlet, disassemble and clean all components then
reassemble machine.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not operate this or any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not operate if appliance malfunctions, is dropped or damaged in any manner. Let a qualified
appliance repair person examine and or repair appliance before using.
• To avoid electric shock or serious injury do not use any attachments that were not recommended
or sold by the manufacturer.
• Do not let power cord hang over the edge of table, counter, or let cord touch hot surfaces
such as stoves.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place blade on base without properly assembling the unit.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify or force the plug in any way.
• The motor will not run if unit is not properly assembled. The motor has a built-in safety
feature that will not let the power turn on unless the locking bar is locked in place.

Additional Safeguards
Follow these helpful hints to obtain the best results from your Power Juicer Elite.
• Do not put any fruit or vegetables in your machine until power is turned on and the motor is spinning.
• Allow unit to run for at least 10 seconds before juicing.
• Do not force food into the juicer. Allow food to pass through slowly and steadily using the pusher. You do not
need to apply pressure unless the juicer starts to vibrate. Then only a slightly harder push should bring it back
to balance.
• Any fruit or vegetable that will fit the chute can be put through whole. The only time it is necessary to cut is
when something is too large. Then it should be cut into large enough pieces to fit in the chute. Do not cut
pieces too small.
• Remove large pits such as peach, mango, etc. as they will damage the blade and possibly the unit. Before
juicing cherries we recommend you remove the pits using a cherry pitter.
• Cleaning can be made easy by placing a plastic bag inside the pulp collector container. When you are done
juicing, the bag can be lifted out and disposed of easily leaving the pulp collector easier to clean.
• Let the Juicer run for a few minutes before turning off to allow any excess juice to be extracted from the
pulp. Once turned off it is quite normal for the juicer to spin for a minute or so due to the very fine precision
balancing of this appliance. Wait until it is done spinning before disassembling.
• Do not use bananas or avocados as they do not contain juice and will clog machine. Add them separately in a
blender.
• We do not recommend using overripe fruit as it will leave too much pulp in the filter and clog the machine.
• Do not pour liquids into the machine at any time unless you are following instructions for making soy, rice, or
nut milk.
• When using smaller or thin items add more. For Example, insert carrots 2 or 3 at a time into the chute for
best results.
• When juicing herbs or wheat grass wrap them in larger leafed vegetables such as spinach, cabbage etc. and
follow by a fruit or vegetable that contains an abundance of juice such as pineapple, apple etc.
• When juicing carrots that are not the same size. Insert carrots into chute. Do not use pusher
until the largest carrot has processed. Once they are the same size you can use pusher to
continue until carrots have been processed.

IMPORTANT: There is a Micro Safetyswitch located
in the back center of the pulp collector base.
This mechanism is an added safety
feature. Once the pulp collector
is in place the Activating Pin on
the bottom of the pulp collector
activates the Micro Safetyswitch.
This will protect you from accidentally
putting hands or fingers under the
machine while the blade is spinning.
Once the pulp collector is removed from
the main base the motor will not run.

the E-Z Loader Attachment into the
chute lining up the flat side of the
container base to the flat side of
the chute. Secure attachment.
• TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY: Never look inside the chute while the machine
is running. Especially when using fruits or vegetables that contain pits. Shut down
the machine and wait for the blade to stop spinning. Remove power cords from
electrical outlet before removing the pits from the chute.
• When using the E-Z Loader Attachment with fruits or vegetables that have pits
such as cherries always replace the E-Z Plug in the bottom of the container to
avoid pits from bouncing out of the chute.
• When juicing you must remove the cherry pits from the chute once the juice
has been extracted. Shut the power off and wait for blade to stop spinning before
disassembling the machine to remove the pits.

temperature differences in dishwashers if you choose to wash the pusher in the
dishwasher, place it on top rack only.
• Clean all other parts in warm, soapy water. A mild detergent is recommended. Rinse
well and dry thoroughly. All components are dishwasher safe with the exception of
the base. Do not use in European Import or a commercial dishwasher.
• To clean the filter and blade, hold them under warm running water. Use a soft-
bristled dish washing brush gently to completely clean pulp from filter. Rinse
the filter from the outside under running water.
• 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.
• We recommend removing and washing juice spout after each use.
