not recommended or sold by
Tristar Products, Inc. may cause
serious hazardous situations
including re, electric shock or
personal injury.
8. To protect against risk of electrical
shock or injury, never immerse
power cord, plug, or main
appliance in water or other liquids.

Safety Features
The juicer was designed with safety in
mind. Two important safety features are:
Built-In Automatic Shut Off System
The 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.
CAUTION

Before First Use
Ensure that all packing materials
have been removed, including any
clear or plastic lm. Running the
appliance with any of this material
still intact may cause serious damage.
Disassemble the appliance (see the
“Disassembly” section). Clean the
appliance (see the “Care & Cleaning”
section). Dry all parts thoroughly
before use. Assemble the appliance
(see the “Assembly” section).
1. Clean and cut ingredients to
a size that will t in the Chute.
Ensure that all pits and large
stems are removed. Small
seeds and skins should not be a
problem if you wish to use them.
2. Place the appliance on a stable
countertop or table. Plug the
power cord into a 110V outlet.
Select the speed you wish to use
based on the type of food you are
juicing and allow the appliance to
run for a few seconds.
Instructions for Use
FIG. A
3. Before juicing, ensure the Spout is
pointed downward and properly
aligned with your glass or container
(see Fig. A).
4. Use the Pusher to guide the
ingredients into the Chute with a
smooth, steady motion. You should
see the juice beginning to ow into
your glass or container, and the
pulp will begin to collect on the Lid
and in the Pulp Collector.
5. Immediately after use, clean
the appliance (see the “Care &
Cleaning” section).
NOTE: Sometimes, you may need to
remove excess food or pulp when
making large quantities of juice. This
appliance’s self-cleaning function can
be used to clean moderate amounts
of food from the appliance (see the
“Self-Cleaning” section). If there is a
large build-up of food, unplug the
appliance, remove the Lid, and clean
the Blade/Filter and Pulp Chute.

Self-Cleaning
The self-cleaning function helps
remove pulp build-up, which improves
the performance of the juicer. Using the
self-cleaning function can also make
fully cleaning the juicer easier. To use
the self-cleaning function:
1. Place an empty cup underneath
the Spout.
2. While slowly pouring water into
the Chute, lightly press the Self-
Cleaning Button three times. The
cleaning scraper will scrape off any
excess pulp.
3. Stop pouring water and let the
water drain.
4. Remove the cup with water.
5. After using the self-cleaning
function, you can either continue
juicing or shut off the juicer. If you
shut off the juicer, the juicer should
be fully cleaned (see the “Fully
Cleaning the Juicer” section).
Care & Cleaning
Disassembling
& Cleaning the
Self-Cleaning Scraper
1. Pull down the safety bar.
2. Remove the Lid and Pulp Guard
and look beneath them.
3. Remove the silicone cover from
the hooks on the Self-Cleaning
scraper (see Fig.C).
4. Clean the Self-Cleaning scraper.
Reassembling the
Self-Cleaning Scraper
1. Slide the silicone cover over the
Self-Cleaning scraper’s base.
2. Attach the sides of the cover to
the hooks on the scraper.
Fully Cleaning the Juicer
The juicer will need to be fully
cleaned periodically and when the
self-cleaning function does not
remove all food from the juicer. 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
the “Disassembly” section).
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 a
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
the “Assembly” section), 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
juicer. The higher temperatures may
cause damage to appliance and can
void your guarantee. Check with your
dishwasher manufacturer before using.
Care & Cleaning
FIG. C

12 13
Juicing is a quick 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.
Juicing Guidelines Juicing Guidelines
Ginger
Ginger is brous, juice small pieces
of ginger and do not juice more than
1 cup at a time.
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. 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 the lter, 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.

Juicing Chart Juicing Chart
Some varieties of produce are more
difcult to juice than others. The
amount of juice you process 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 those that yield less juice.
The Juicing Chart can help take the
guesswork out of juicing.
DO NOT JUICE avocados, bananas,
or coconuts because they do not
contain juice. Rhubarb juice can be
used on its own or mixed with other
fresh juices. Wash the rhubarb bunch
thoroughly, removing the leaves,
because they are poisonous and not
safe for consumption. Rhubarb stalks
are very brous and may become
caught in the juicer.

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 brous items can create a lot of pulp and clog the Blade/Filter.
Turn off the appliance and clean the Blade/Filter.
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 the “Safety Features” section).
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 receptacle.
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.
