HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE JUICER
1. Place the Juice Collector on the Motor Housing with the Spout facing the
direction of the Locking Handle. Gently slide into place until it locks.
2. Place the Stainless Steel Strainer Basket inside the Juice Collector. Twist
the Strainer Basket and gently push down until it is seated in the Juice
Collector. NOTE: The top edge of the Strainer Basket should not be
higher than the edge of the Juice Collector when properly installed.
3. Place the Pulp Chute/Juicer Cover on the top so that the opening of the
Pulp Chute is on the side opposite the Spout.
4. Lock the Pulp Chute/Juicer Cover into position by raising the Locking Bar
until it clicks into the grooves located on both side of the Pulp
Chute/Juicer Cover. NOTE: Push the Locking Bar until it is fully upright
otherwise the Juicer will not operate.
5. Align the groove in the Food Pusher with the small protrusion on the
inside of the Feed Tube.
6. Slide the Pulp Container into position under the Pulp Chute.
7. If the Froth Separator is not in the Juice Jug, slide between the tabs
inside the Juice Jug. If you prefer to have juice with froth then the Froth
Separator is not required
HOW TO PREPARE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES FOR JUICING
1. Wash fruits and vegetables.
2. Peel fruits that have inedible skins such as citrus fruits, pineapple,
melons, papaya, etc.
3. Pit all fruits with hard seeds or stones such as peaches, nectarines,
cherries, etc.
4. Most fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots and cucumbers will not
need to be cut. If the pieces are too big for the Feed Tube slice the fruit
or vegetables before starting to juice.

HOW TO JUICE
1. Assemble the Juicer. The Juice Jug or a glass can be placed below the
spout to collect juice.
2. Plug the power cord into a 120V power outlet.
3. Choose either ‘Hi’ or ‘Lo’ speed on the Rocker Switch depending on the
type of fruit or vegetable that is being juiced. Never put any fruit or
vegetables in the juicer until power is turned on. Soft fruit or vegetables,
such as berries, melons, cucumber, tomatoes, etc. should be juiced on Lo
speed. Harder fruit and vegetables such as apples, celery, carrots, etc.
should be juiced at ‘Hi’ speed.
4. With the motor running, place food into the Feed Tube. Using the Food
Pusher, gently guide food down the Feed Tube. To Extract the maximum
amount of juice, always push the Food Pusher down slowly. IMPORTANT:
DO NOT PLACE HANDS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS DOWN THE FEED
TUBE. ALWAYS USE THE FOOD PUSHER
5. If the Pulp Container is full it can be emptied during juicing. Turn the
Juicer Off and remove the Pulp Container by holding onto the Feed Tube
and tilting the juicer slightly to disengage the Pulp Container. Empty the
Pulp Container. Replace by sliding the Pulp Container into position under
the Pulp Chute.
6. The froth separator in the Juice Jug will eliminate froth being poured into
the glass. If you prefer to have juice with froth, simply remove the froth
separator attachment from the Juice Jug before juicing.
IMPORTANT: When juicing on ‘Hi’ Speed do not run the juicer for
longer than 5 minutes then allow to rest for 2 minutes before you
resume juicing.

HELPFUL HINTS
• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to apple juice to prevent
browning.
• Do not use bananas or avocados as they do not contain juice and will
clog the juicer.
• Allow the juicer to run for one minute before turning ‘Off’ to allow any
excess juice to be extracted from the pulp.
• A plastic bag can be put in the pulp container for easy clean-up.
• Disassemble the Juicer and rinse off the pulp immediately after juicing.
The Strainer Basket/Cutting Blades can be soaked in water to loosen the
pulp. Then wash in warm soapy water.
• Wash parts immediately after use to avoid discolouration of the plastic
parts which may occur with some fruits and vegetables.
• If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables process in combination with
other fruits or vegetables to yield more juice.

The safety locking arm may not be correctly
engaged into the 2 grooves on either side of the
Pulp Chute/Juicer Cover.
Motor stalls when juicing
Push the Food Pusher down slowly so that wet pulp
does not build up under the Pulp Chute/Juicer
Cover. Choose Hi speed instead of Lo speed.
Excess pulp building up in filter Alternate soft and hard fruit and vegetables
Pulp too wet

the mesh filter are not blocked. If they are blocked
follow #5 in the How to Clean section.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exer-
cised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top,
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
