When using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including:
1. Read all instructions.
2. NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN!
Keep out of the reach of
children to avoid injury.
3. The Shaq Juicer has a polarized
plug. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug will t in an outlet
only one way. If the plug does
not t fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not t,

Safety Features
The Shaq Juicer was designed with
safety in mind. We have added two
important safety features:
Built-In Automatic Shut Off System
The Shaq Juicer is equipped with
a special feature that automatically
shuts off the motor should the
appliance become jammed or
overheated during the juicing
process. Prior to shut down, you will
most likely hear the juicer get louder.
This will indicate that something has
caused the motor to strain. Should
this happen, simply turn the Power
Switch off and unplug the appliance.
Follow the Disassembly, Cleaning
and Assembly procedures. Then,
allow the appliance to cool for 10
minutes. The appliance will reset
and you will be able to resume the
juicing process.
The Locking Bar
When in the upright and locked
position, this feature holds the
Juicer Lid/Pulp Guard in place. If
the Locking Bar is not in its proper
position, the motor will not engage
and the blade will not spin.

container (see Fig. C).

10 SHAQ Juicer SHAQ Juicer 11
Juicing should be done in
conjunction with your regular
daily consumption of fruits and
vegetables. Consuming whole
fruits and vegetables daily helps
you get much-needed ber.
Juicing is a quicker way to get
many of the health benets you
need from fresh food, including
antioxidants and nutrients.
We recommend juicing produce
items that you would normally
consume. 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
benecial to process are grape
stems. All others should be removed.
Seeds: Removing seeds is
discretionary due to certain health
risks associated with certain produce.
CARROTS
Due to the irregular size and shape
of carrots, care must be taken
when juicing. Do not overll the
chute. Allow room for the carrots to
move and be pushed into the juicer.
Use the Pusher to guide the carrots
and prevent them from bouncing
out of the chute.
CITRUS FRUITS
We recommend the removal of
the skin from citrus fruits. The skin
will provide a tart avor to the juice.
The skin can also be difcult to
process. Juicing with or without the
skin is a personal preference.
MANGOES, APRICOTS,
AND PEACHES
Important: Always remove large
pits. Do not put any produce in
the juicer with large pits. Pits will
damage the blade and possibly
seize the motor.
Do Not Juice
Juicing Guidelines Juicing Guidelines
POMEGRANATES AND
CHERRIES
These wonder fruits can absolutely
be juiced. When juicing cherries,
remove the pits. When juicing
pomegranates, only the seeds may
be used. You must remove the outer
skin and the inner membrane.
PINEAPPLE AND MELONS
Although the juicer can process
the rind from these items, we
recommend removing the rind.
Pineapple is stringy in nature and
can cause a blockage at the opening
of the Spout. Monitor juice ow and
juicing progress to avoid blockages,
which can cause the Receptacle
to overow.
BERRIES AND SMALL FRUITS
When juicing berries (except
cranberries), you need to add other
juicier fruits (such as apples or
oranges) that produce more juice
to push the juice through the juicer.
Strawberries contain the most
juice because they tend to be large.
For example, rst process the berries
(you may not see a lot of juice).
Then, add an apple or an orange –
something that will increase the
volume of juice.
KEEP THE PULP
COLLECTOR CLEAN
When juicing, be sure to monitor
the Pulp Collector and empty it
before it is full. If the Pulp Collector
lls and pulp backs up into Filter,
the motor will shut off. The pulp
can be used for recipes or thrown
away. You can place a plastic bag
in the Pulp Collector to aid with
clean-up.
Some varieties of produce are
more difcult to process than
others. The amount of juice you
process depends on which fruits
and vegetables you select. Produce
such as oranges, apples, melons,
and cucumbers tends to yield
more juice and should be mixed
with those that yield less juice. The
Juicing Chart (see p. 12) can help
take the guesswork out of juicing.
DO NOT JUICE avocados, bananas,
or coconuts because they do not
contain juice. Juicing rhubarb is not
recommended due to toxins.

With the exception of the Motor
Base, all the components can be
put in your home dishwasher. We
recommend top rack placement.*
1. Turn off the power switch
and wait until the motor stops
completely.
2. With dry hands, unplug the
power cord from electrical
outlet.
3. Disassemble the machine
(see Disassembly, p. 7).
4. Wipe the outside of the Power
Base with a warm, moist cloth
and mild detergent. Do not
submerge the Power Base in
water. Do not spray with water
or any other liquid. The Power
Base is not dishwasher safe.
IMPORTANT: Do not use
abrasive sponges, cloths, or
cleansers as these can damage
the nish.
5. Hold the Filter/Blade under
warm running water. Use the
supplied cleaning brush to
loosen the leftover bers that
may be stuck to the Filter/
Blade before placing the
Filter/Blade in the dishwasher.
Never use a wire brush.
Rinse the Filter/Blade from the
outside under running water.
A sink’s spray hose attachment
is especially effective for
loosening ber from the
Filter/Blade.
6. Clean all other parts with a
warm, moist cloth and mild
detergent. Rinse well and dry
thoroughly.
7. Dry the components
thoroughly, reassemble the
machine (see Assembly, p. 8),
and turn on the power to spin
out any excess water.
8. Ensure the appliance and its
parts are completely dry before
storing in a cool, dry place.
*CAUTION: Some commercial
and 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 Shaq
Juicer. The higher temperatures
may cause damage to appliance and
can void your guarantee. Check
with your dishwasher manufacturer
before using.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause/Solution
Appliance does not run
when switched on
Check to see if the appliance is plugged in.
Locking bar is not locked in place properly.
Check if all parts are assembled.
Check if there is any residue left between the blade and the receptacle.
Make sure you wait 5-10 minutes to restart if the appliance
automatically shuts down.
Motor is unusually
loud and vibrating
Check that all parts are assembled properly and in the correct position.
Juicing overripe fruit may result in too much pulp and will clog the lter.
Turn the appliance off and clean the lter.
The motor overheats
causing the power to
automatically shut off
Applying too much pressure with the Pusher while processing can
cause the motor to overheat, which activates the built-in thermal cut-off
switch. The motor will stop working for approximately 10 minutes to
cool down (see Safety Features, p. 5).
The fruits and vegetables may be soft or overripe.
There may be too much pulp in the lter. Turn the appliance off
and clean the lter.
No juice is coming
out of the Spout
Make sure the Spout is facing downward while juicing.
If the Spout is facing upward, juice will not come out of the Spout
and may overow out of the bottom sides.
Some produce, such as berries, may not be juicy enough.
Add juicier produce, such as apples and oranges, to the juicer
to help push the juice through the juicer.
