Setup and Assembly

Before first use, wash all removable parts (except the motor base) in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.

1. Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
2. Insert the juice collector onto the motor base, ensuring it is seated correctly.
3. Place the stainless steel filter basket firmly into the juice collector. Ensure it clicks into place.
4. Position the lid onto the juice collector, aligning the feed chute with the opening. Lower the lid until it sits securely.
5. Lift the safety locking bar and secure it into the grooves on the lid. The juicer will not operate unless the locking bar is fully engaged.
6. Slide the 48oz pulp container under the pulp spout on the side of the juicer.
7. Place the 24oz juice jug with the foam separator under the juice spout.
8. Insert the food pusher into the feed chute.

Operating Instructions

Preparing Produce:

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• Most fruits and vegetables do not need to be peeled. Remove large seeds (e.g., peaches, mangoes) and hard pits.
• For citrus fruits, it is recommended to peel them before juicing to avoid a bitter taste from the rind.
• Cut larger items into pieces that fit easily into the wide-mouth feed chute.

Juicing Process:

1. Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn the speed control dial to the desired setting:
   • Speed 1 (Low): For softer fruits and vegetables like berries, grapes, tomatoes, and leafy greens.
   • Speed 2 (High): For harder fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, celery, and beets.
3. With the motor running, gradually feed the prepared produce into the wide-mouth feed chute.
4. Use the food pusher to gently guide the produce down. Do not force the produce, as this can reduce juice yield and potentially damage the motor.
5. Juice will flow into the juice jug, and pulp will collect in the pulp container.
6. When finished juicing, turn the speed control dial to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.
