Setup and Assembly

Before first use, wash all parts except the motor base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

  1. Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and level surface.
  2. Insert the pulp bin into the motor base, ensuring it is securely seated.
  3. Place the cutter/strainer basket onto the motor base, aligning it with the drive shaft. Press down firmly until it clicks into place.
  4. Position the juicer cover over the cutter/strainer basket and pulp bin. Ensure the locking clips on the sides of the cover engage with the grooves on the motor base. The unit will not operate unless the cover is correctly locked.
  5. Place a glass or pitcher under the juice spout to collect the extracted juice.
  6. Insert the food pusher into the feed chute.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective juicing:

  1. Prepare Produce: Wash all fruits and vegetables. Most fruits and vegetables do not need to be peeled, but thick skins (e.g., pineapple, melon, oranges) should be removed. Remove pits from fruits like peaches, cherries, etc. Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the feed chute.
  2. Start Juicer: Plug the juicer into an electrical outlet. Turn the On/Off switch to the "ON" position.
  3. Insert Produce: With the motor running, place prepared fruits or vegetables into the feed chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide the produce down. Do not force the food pusher, as this can affect juice yield and potentially damage the motor.
  4. Collect Juice: Juice will flow from the spout into your container, and pulp will collect in the pulp bin.
  5. Finish Juicing: Once all produce has been juiced, turn the On/Off switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the unit.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and performance of your juicer.

  1. Unplug: Always unplug the juicer from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
  2. Disassemble: Remove the food pusher, juicer cover, cutter/strainer basket, and pulp bin.
  3. Rinse Immediately: Rinse all removable parts under running water to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
  4. Wash Parts: Wash the food pusher, juicer cover, cutter/strainer basket, and pulp bin in warm, soapy water. The cutter/strainer basket requires special attention; use a brush to remove pulp from the mesh.
  5. Dishwasher Safe: The removable parts (food pusher, juicer cover, cutter/strainer basket, pulp bin) are top-rack dishwasher safe.
  6. Clean Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
  7. Dry and Store: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer.
