Setup Instructions

2. Clean Before First Use: Wash all removable parts (pusher, cover, filter basket, pulp container) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble:
   • Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
   • Position the pulp container securely onto the motor base.
   • Insert the filter basket firmly into the motor base, ensuring it is properly seated.
   • Place the cover over the filter basket and pulp container, aligning it correctly and locking it into place.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for efficient juicing with your Hometrends Juice Extractor.

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash fruits and vegetables 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 a bitter taste.
2. Place Container: Position a glass or pitcher under the juice spout to collect the extracted juice.
3. Start Juicer: Turn the juicer ON using the switch on the motor base. Allow the motor to reach full speed before adding ingredients.
4. Add Ingredients: Gradually feed the prepared fruits and vegetables into the feed chute. Use the pusher to gently guide them down. Do not force ingredients, as this can strain the motor and reduce juice yield.
5. Continuous Juicing: The 200-watt motor efficiently extracts juice. Continue adding ingredients until desired amount of juice is obtained or the pulp container is full.
6. Stop Juicer: Once finished, turn the juicer OFF and unplug it from the power outlet.

Tips for Best Results:

• Juice firm fruits and vegetables first, followed by softer ones.
• For leafy greens, roll them into a tight ball before inserting into the chute.
• Consume fresh juice immediately for maximum nutritional benefits.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your juicer. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

1. Disassemble: Turn off and unplug the juicer. Carefully remove the pusher, cover, filter basket, and pulp container.
2. Empty Pulp: Discard the pulp from the pulp container.
3. Clean Removable Parts: Wash the pusher, cover, filter basket, and pulp container in warm, soapy water. Use a brush to clean the mesh of the filter basket thoroughly to remove any trapped pulp. Rinse all parts under running water.
4. Motor Base: The motor base is not dishwasher safe and should never be immersed in water. Wipe the exterior of the motor base with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent on the cloth, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
5. Dry and Store: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer. Store in a clean, dry place.
