5. Operating Instructions

Once the citrus juicer attachment is securely installed on your blender base, you can begin juicing:

1. Cut your desired citrus fruit (e.g., oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits) in half.
2. Place one half of the fruit, cut-side down, onto the reamer of the juicer attachment.
3. Turn on your KitchenAid blender to a low or medium speed setting. The reamer will begin to rotate.
4. Apply gentle downward pressure on the fruit against the rotating reamer. The juice will flow through the sieve into the 1-liter pitcher below, while the pulp and seeds are collected in the sieve container.
5. Continue juicing until all desired fruit halves have been processed.
6. Once finished, turn off the blender and unplug it from the power outlet.
7. Carefully remove the citrus juicer attachment from the blender base.
8. Pour the fresh juice from the pitcher using its convenient spout.
