Operating Instructions
Using your BLACK+DECKER CJ650W Citrus Juicer is straightforward:

- Ensure the juicer is properly assembled.
- Plug the juicer into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
- Cut citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits) in half.
- Place one half of the citrus fruit onto the juicing cone.
- Push down firmly on the cone with the halved citrus fruit. The motor will automatically start when pressure is applied.
- The juicing cone features an auto-reverse function, which periodically changes direction to ensure maximum juice extraction.
- Continue pressing until all juice is extracted from the fruit half.
- Release pressure to stop the motor.
- Repeat with remaining fruit halves until the desired amount of juice is collected in the container.
- Once juicing is complete, unplug the appliance.
- Use the drip-free pour spout to dispense the fresh juice.
Important Notes:
- The motor stops automatically when the pressure is completely released.
- The auto-reverse feature automatically changes reaming direction when pressure is released and reapplied.
- This juicer includes a dual-purpose cone suitable for both small citrus (e.g., limes) and large citrus (e.g., grapefruits).

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your juicer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; no pressure applied; power outage. | Ensure the juicer is securely plugged into a working outlet. Apply firm pressure to the juicing cone with fruit. Check household circuit breaker. |
| Motor stops during juicing. | Pressure released; motor overheating (rare). | Maintain consistent pressure on the fruit. If the motor feels hot, unplug and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes before resuming. |
| Poor juice extraction. | Insufficient pressure; fruit not properly centered; cone not reversing. | Apply firm, consistent pressure. Ensure fruit half is centered on the cone. The auto-reverse function is automatic; if it seems stuck, lift and reapply pressure. |
| Excessive pulp in juice. | Pulp control setting. | Adjust the pulp control lever on the strainer to the "less pulp" setting. |
