6. Push the locking clamp up and over the lid. Hold clamp rmly and push until the two black clamp locks rest
in the 2 locking slots on the top of the lid. Make sure the lid is clamped securely into place (see gure 6).
7. Add the pulp basket (see gure 7). Tilt the pulp basket slightly so that the lip of the juice bowl ts snugly over
the inside of the pulp basket. Push the bottom of the pulp basket so that it rests securely on its platform.
Important: to avoid spillage, make sure the pulp basket sits ush up against the base.
Note: to save cleaning time, line the pulp basket with a plastic grocery store produce bag.
8. Make sure the anti-drip spout is properly open (see gure 8).
9. Add the juice pitcher lid to the juice pitcher so that the lid’s cut out ts over the pitcher’s pouring spout. Tilt
the juice pitcher slightly so that the extractor’s juice spout ts into the top of the pitcher lid (see gure 7).
This will prevent juice spillage.
Preparing fruits and vegetables for your juice extractor
• Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush. If you are not using organic produce, we
recommend using a biodegradable cleaner to help remove pesticide residue.
• Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any waxed fruit or vegetable.
• Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
• The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except oranges, grapefruit, and
tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter and is difcult to digest.
• Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top of the feed tube while juicing.
The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears, and peaches should also be removed.
• Cut produce into pieces small enough to t into the feed tube. Use the food pusher to gently direct
produce through the tube. NEVER PUSH PRODUCE INTO THE FEED TUBE WITH YOUR FINGERS.
• It may be necessary to cut hard produce (carrots, beets, pineapple, etc.) into smaller pieces to facilitate
juicing.
• Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into a small, tight ball and pushed
through with either a carrot or the food pusher.
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them and residue left in the
machine can clog the micro-mesh screen.
• For best results when juicing apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes, produce should be rm.
• When juicing apples, add a small amount of fresh lemon or lime to help slow down the browning process.
• Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, gs and mangoes are not suitable for the
juice extractor. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to process these fruits.
• The juice extractor is not suitable for processing very hard and/or brous/starchy fruits or vegetables such
as sugar cane.
Operating instructions
Dual Speed Control
Your juice extractor offers 2 speed options that ensure optimal rpm to provide maximum juicing efciency.
Note: Efciency describes the amount of juice extracted from your produce.
HIGH: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to HIGH.
Use for harder produce, such as carrots, beets, and pineapple (with rind). Also recommended for leafy or
stringy produce such as celery and greens.
OFF: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to OFF to stop operation.
LOW: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to LOW.
Use for softer produce such as citrus, apples, grapes (with stems), melons, peaches (remove pit), and
tomatoes. LOW is recommended for ripe produce that has become soft.
Important: The juice extractor is equipped with a safety system that prevents the Extractor from being turned on
unless the unit is completely and properly assembled.
1. Assemble the juice extractor following the assembly instructions described in this manual.
2. Have all fruits and vegetables prepared for juicing.
3. Plug the unit into a 120v ac electrical outlet.
4. Remove the food pusher from the feed tube.
5. Place produce into the feed tube. Use the food pusher to gently direct through the feed tube and blade
basket with the food pusher.
6. Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to HIGH to juice harder produce.
7. Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to LOW to juice softer produce.
Note: When juicing a combination of hard and soft produce, such as beets, carrots and apples, you will want
to use HIGH for beets and carrots and LOW for the apples. You do not have to turn the machine OFF to change
speeds. Simply turn the dial to change to the appropriate speed for each type of produce being juiced.
Tip: To ensure maximum efciency, alternate types of produce.
