Gourmia GJ750 Centrifugal Juicer Instruction Manual

Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions before operating the juicer.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the motor base, power cord, or plug 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 assembling or disassembling 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 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.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Always ensure the juicer cover is properly secured before the motor is switched on. Do not unfasten the cover while the juicer is in operation.
• Always make sure the juicer is turned to the 'OFF' position after each use and before disassembling.
• Do not put fingers or other objects into the juicer opening while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the opening, use the food pusher to push it down. If this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble the juicer to remove the remaining food.

Components:

• Food Pusher: Used to guide fruits and vegetables into the feeding chute.

• Juicer Cover: Secures the components during operation.
• Stainless Steel Filter Basket: Contains the cutting blade and filters pulp from juice.
• Juice Collector: Gathers the extracted juice.
• Pulp Container: Collects discarded pulp (8.5 cup capacity).
• Motor Base: Houses the 850-watt motor and control dial.
• Safety Locking Bar: Ensures the juicer is securely assembled before operation.
• Juice Spout: Directs juice into your glass or pitcher.

Setup and Assembly

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

1. Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
2. Insert the juice collector onto the motor base, aligning the juice spout with the groove on the base.
3. Place the stainless steel filter basket firmly into the juice collector. Ensure it is seated correctly and does not wobble.
4. Position the juicer cover over the filter basket and juice collector.
5. Lift the safety locking bar and secure it into the slots on both sides of the juicer cover. You should hear a click, indicating it is locked in place. The juicer will not operate if the locking bar is not correctly engaged.
6. Place the pulp container under the pulp ejection spout at the back of the juicer.
7. Place a glass or pitcher under the juice spout to collect the extracted juice.

Operating Instructions

The Gourmia GJ750 features two speed settings for optimal juice extraction.

1. Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and a glass or pitcher is placed under the juice spout.
2. Plug the power cord into a 110V electrical outlet.
3. Prepare your fruits and vegetables. While the wide mouth accommodates whole produce, it is recommended to cut larger items into manageable pieces to prevent clogging and ensure efficient juicing. Remove large seeds and hard pits.
4. Turn the control dial to the desired speed setting:
• Speed 1 (Low): Ideal for soft fruits and vegetables such as oranges, tomatoes, grapes, and leafy greens.
• Speed 2 (High): Suitable for harder produce like carrots, beets, apples, and ginger.
5. Gradually feed the prepared fruits and vegetables into the wide mouth feeding chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide the produce down. Do not force the food pusher, as this can strain the motor and reduce juice yield.
6. Allow the juicer to process the produce completely before adding more.
7. Once juicing is complete, turn the control dial to the 'OFF' (0) position and unplug the appliance from the outlet.

2. Disengage the safety locking bar and remove the juicer cover.
3. Carefully remove the filter basket, juice collector, and pulp container.
4. Empty the pulp container.
5. Rinse all removable parts under running water. Use the included cleaning brush to remove any pulp residue from the stainless steel filter basket. Pay special attention to the mesh and cutting blade.

7. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
