5. Operating Instructions
Once the citrus juicer attachment is securely installed on your blender base, you can begin juicing:
- Cut your desired citrus fruit (e.g., oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits) in half.
- Place one half of the fruit, cut-side down, onto the reamer of the juicer attachment.
- Turn on your KitchenAid blender to a low or medium speed setting. The reamer will begin to rotate.
- 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.
- Continue juicing until all desired fruit halves have been processed.
- Once finished, turn off the blender and unplug it from the power outlet.
- Carefully remove the citrus juicer attachment from the blender base.
- Pour the fresh juice from the pitcher using its convenient spout.
