Setup

Before first use, wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Ensure the motor base is unplugged from the power outlet.

Assembling for Fruit and Vegetable Processing:

1. Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
2. Insert the juicing screen/filter into the motor base.
3. Attach the stainless steel pulp container to the designated slot on the side of the motor base.
4. Place the transparent juice cup under the juice spout.
5. Secure the lid onto the motor base, ensuring the safety interlocking latch engages properly.
6. Insert the pusher into the feed chute.

Assembling for Citrus Juicing:

1. Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
2. Place the citrus reamer directly onto the motor shaft.
3. Position the transparent juice cup under the juice spout.
4. Ensure the reamer is securely seated.

Operating Instructions

Preparing Produce:

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• For the fruit and vegetable processor: Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the feed chute. Remove large seeds, pits, and hard skins (e.g., pineapple, melon, citrus).
• For the citrus juicer: Cut citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits) in half.

Using the Fruit and Vegetable Processor:

1. Ensure the unit is assembled correctly and the juice cup is in place.
2. Plug the appliance into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Turn the unit on by pressing either the "LO" (low speed) or "HI" (high speed) button. Use "LO" for softer fruits and vegetables, and "HI" for harder produce like carrots and apples.
4. Gradually feed prepared produce into the feed chute using the pusher. Do not force produce down; allow the motor to process it at its own pace.
5. For quick bursts of speed, press and hold the "POWER" button (pulse function). Release to stop.
6. Continue juicing until the juice cup is full or you have processed all desired produce. The 1-1/4 quart pulp container allows for continuous juicing without frequent emptying.
7. When finished, turn off the appliance and unplug it from the outlet.

Using the Citrus Juicer:

1. Ensure the unit is assembled with the citrus reamer and juice cup.
2. Plug the appliance into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Place a cut half of a citrus fruit onto the reamer.
4. Apply gentle downward pressure to activate the reamer and extract juice. The reamer will rotate, extracting juice into the cup below.
5. Continue until all juice is extracted from the fruit half.
6. When finished, unplug the appliance.

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your appliance. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

• Disassembly: Press the "RELEASE" button to unlock the lid and carefully disassemble all removable parts: pusher, lid, juicing screen/filter, pulp container, juice cup, and citrus reamer.
