Setup and Assembly

2. Insert the pulp collector into the back of the motor base.
3. Carefully place the stainless steel filter basket onto the motor base, ensuring it is seated firmly.

Operating Instructions

Preparation:

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• For ingredients that do not fit the extra-wide chute, cut them into smaller pieces. Remove large seeds, pits, and hard peels (e.g., pineapple, melon, citrus).

Juicing:

1. Plug the juicer into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Turn the control dial to the desired speed setting:
   • "I" (Low Speed): For softer fruits and vegetables (e.g., berries, tomatoes, grapes).
   • "II" (High Speed): For harder fruits and vegetables (e.g., carrots, apples, celery).
3. Gradually feed ingredients into the food chute using the food pusher. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force ingredients.
4. Allow the juicer to process each piece before adding more.
5. Once juicing is complete, turn the control dial to "O" (OFF) and unplug the appliance.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The Oster Easy-to-Clean Professional Juicer features patented Auto-Clean Technology for simplified cleaning of the filter basket.

Auto-Clean Cycle:

1. After juicing, ensure the juicer is unplugged.
2. Remove the food pusher.
3. Pour approximately 2 cups of water into the food chute.
4. Turn the control dial to "II" (High Speed) for 25 seconds. The water will rinse and scrub the filter.

Manual Cleaning:

• Disassemble all removable parts (food pusher, juice cover, filter basket, pulp collector, juice pitcher).
• All removable parts are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended).
