Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
- Read all instructions before operating the juicer.
- To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the motor base in water or other liquids.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
- Avoid contact with moving parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Always ensure the juicer cover is securely fastened before the motor is turned on.
- Do not put fingers or other objects into the juicer while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the opening, use the food pusher provided.
- Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.

Familiarize yourself with the components of your Waring Acme 5001 Juicerator:
- Food Pusher: Used to guide fruits and vegetables into the feed chute.
- Feed Chute: Opening for inserting produce.
- Cover: Secures the internal components during operation.
- Stainless Steel Blade/Filter Basket: Centrifugal mechanism for extracting juice and separating pulp.
- Juice Spout: Where extracted juice flows out.
- Pulp Container: Collects separated pulp.
- Motor Base: Houses the 550-watt induction motor and control switch.
- Locking Arms: Secure the cover to the motor base.
Assembly
Before first use, wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure the unit is unplugged before assembly.
- Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
- Insert the pulp container onto the motor base, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Carefully place the stainless steel blade/filter basket onto the motor shaft, pressing down firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure it is level and secure.
- Position the juicer cover over the blade/filter basket and pulp container, aligning the juice spout with the opening on the motor base.
- Engage the locking arms on both sides of the juicer, pushing them upwards until they securely lock the cover in place. The juicer will not operate unless the locking arms are correctly engaged.
- Place a suitable container (glass or pitcher) under the juice spout to collect the extracted juice.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for efficient juicing:
- Prepare your fruits and vegetables by washing them thoroughly. Cut larger items into pieces that fit easily into the feed chute. Remove pits from fruits like peaches or cherries, and hard seeds from melons. Peeling is generally not necessary for most fruits and vegetables, but you may peel citrus fruits to avoid bitterness.
- Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and a juice collection container is in place.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Turn the juicer ON using the power switch located on the motor base. Allow the motor to reach full speed before inserting produce.
- Gradually feed the prepared fruits and vegetables into the feed chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide the produce down. Do not force food into the chute, as this can strain the motor and reduce juice yield.
- Continue feeding produce until the desired amount of juice is extracted or the pulp container is full.
- Once finished, turn the juicer OFF and unplug it from the outlet.
- Disassemble the juicer for cleaning immediately after use.
Juicing Tips:
- For best results, juice fresh, firm produce.
- Alternate between soft and hard ingredients to maintain optimal juicing performance.
- Some leafy greens may yield more juice when rolled tightly before insertion.
- Do not process overly ripe or mushy fruits, as they may clog the filter and yield less juice.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your juicer. Clean immediately after each use.
- Ensure the juicer is turned OFF and unplugged from the power outlet.
- Disengage the locking arms and remove the cover, food pusher, blade/filter basket, and pulp container.
- Empty the pulp from the pulp container.
- Rinse all removable parts under running water. Use a brush to clean the mesh of the stainless steel blade/filter basket thoroughly, as pulp can easily get trapped.
- All removable parts are dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended).
- Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
- Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling or storing.
Storage:
Store the assembled juicer in a clean, dry place. Do not store anything on top of the juicer.
