Before first use, wash all removable parts (juicer cover, filter basket, food pusher, pulp container, and juice jug) in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. The motor base should be wiped with a damp cloth.

1. Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
2. Insert the filter basket onto the motor base, ensuring it is seated firmly.
3. Place the juicer cover over the filter basket and align the juice spout with the opening on the motor base.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective juicing:

1. Prepare Produce: Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. For most items, peeling is not necessary, but remove large seeds, pits, and hard cores (e.g., peach pits, avocado pits, pineapple core). The wide mouth chute accommodates most whole fruits, reducing preparation time.
2. Plug In: Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Select Speed: Turn the control dial to the desired speed setting:
   • Speed 1 (Low): Ideal for soft fruits and vegetables like berries, grapes, tomatoes, and leafy greens.
   • Speed 2 (High): Suitable for harder produce such as apples, carrots, beets, and celery.
4. Begin Juicing: With the motor running, gradually feed the prepared produce into the feed chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide the produce down. Do not force the produce, as this can strain the motor.
5. Monitor Containers: Keep an eye on the juice jug and pulp container to ensure they do not overflow. Stop the juicer and empty them as needed.
6. Finish Juicing: Once all produce has been juiced, turn the control dial to the "0" (Off) position and unplug the appliance.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your juicer. Clean the appliance immediately after each use.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the juicer from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Unlock the locking bar and remove the juicer cover, filter basket, food pusher, pulp container, and juice jug.
3. Wash Removable Parts: All removable parts are dishwasher safe and BPA-free. Alternatively, wash them by hand in warm, soapy water using a brush to clean the filter basket thoroughly. Rinse well and dry.
4. Clean Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
5. Reassemble: Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble the juicer for storage or next use.
