GROUNDING
This appliance must be grounded to protect the
operator from electric shock during use. For this
purpose, it is equipped with a three-conductor power
cord and three-prong grounding-type plug (Figure
A). The plug only ts three-hole electric receptacles.
For the plug to t a two-hole receptacle, you will
need a Grounding Plug Adapter with a wire or metal
tab (Figure B). Connect the wire/tab to the electrical
outlet with the cover plate screw. The screw must
be metal. The electrical box must be properly
grounded (Figure C).
EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord with this appliance,
only use a three-wire extension cord with a
three-prong grounding-type plug and three-pole
connector. The extension cord must have an
electrical rating equal to or greater than that of the
appliance. Do not use a damaged extension cord.
Examine the cord before each use and replace it if
necessary. Do not abuse an extension cord. Pull
on the plug, not the cord, to disconnect it. Keep
the extension cord away from hot surfaces and
sharp edges.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
CIRCUIT BREAKER INSTRUCTIONS
The Wheatgrass Juicer is equipped with a
Circuit Breaker to protect it from damage due
to overload or short circuit. If the Wheatgrass
Juicer should unexpectedly stop running, take
the following steps to get it running again.
1. Turn the Power Switch to the “OFF”
position.
2. Check for possible reasons for the overload,
ie. a jam in the machine or incorrect assembly.
3. Press the Circuit Breaker Reset Button (Figure 1).
4. Turn the Wheatgrass Juicer back on and resume juicing.
5. Resume normal operation.
If the Wheatgrass Juicer still does not run, check the household circuit breaker to see if it
has tripped and/or try connecting the Power Cord to a different electrical outlet. If these steps
don’t work or if the Circuit Breaker repeatedly trips, turn the unit off and disconnect it from the
electrical outlet. DO NOT continue to try running the Wheatgrass Juice or unit damage
may occur. Contact Pragotrade at the number on the back of this manual for information on unit
repair or replacement.
