Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions before operating the juicer.
- Do not immerse the motor base in water or other liquids.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
- Avoid contact with moving parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Always ensure the juicer is properly and completely assembled before operating. The safety latches must be securely engaged. Improper assembly, particularly of the pulp container and blade, can lead to malfunction and potential hazard.
- Do not put fingers or other objects into the juicer while it is operating. If food becomes lodged in the opening, use the food pusher to push it down. If this does not work, turn off the motor and disassemble the juicer to remove the food.
- Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
- The appliance is equipped with a motor protection system to extend motor life. If the motor overheats, it will automatically shut off. Allow it to cool down before resuming operation.

Setup and Assembly
- Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
- Insert the pulp container into the motor base, ensuring it clicks securely into place. (Refer to user review: ensure it fits into the top groove first, then push the bottom in place).
- Place the juice collector onto the motor base, aligning it with the spout.
- Carefully place the stainless steel strainer basket onto the motor base, ensuring it is seated firmly.
- Position the lid over the strainer basket and juice collector, aligning the feed chute with the opening. Lower the lid until it locks into place with the safety latches on both sides of the motor base. You should hear a click.
- Ensure all parts are securely assembled before plugging the unit into a power outlet.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to extract fresh juice:
- Prepare Produce: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. For larger items, cut them into pieces that fit comfortably into the 2.4-inch feed chute. Smaller items like carrots or celery can often be inserted whole. Remove large seeds or pits from fruits like peaches or plums.
- Position Container: Place a glass or pitcher under the juice spout to collect the extracted juice.
- Power On: Plug the juicer into a standard electrical outlet. Press the On/Off button located on the front of the motor base to start the juicer. The 400-watt motor will begin to spin the stainless steel strainer.
- Feed Produce: Slowly feed the prepared fruits and vegetables into the feed chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide the produce down towards the spinning blade. Do not force the produce, as this can strain the motor.
- Juice Extraction: The juicer will separate the juice from the pulp. Fresh juice will flow out of the spout into your container, while the pulp will be collected in the pulp container.
- Continuous Juicing: You can continue to feed produce until the pulp container is full or you have extracted the desired amount of juice.
- Power Off: Once finished, press the On/Off button to turn off the juicer. Unplug the appliance from the outlet before disassembling for cleaning.

Care and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your juicer. All removable parts are dishwasher safe for convenience.
- Disassembly: Unplug the juicer. Release the safety latches and remove the lid. Carefully lift out the strainer basket, juice collector, and pulp container.
- Rinse Immediately: Rinse all removable parts under running water immediately after use to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
- Dishwasher Cleaning: Place the food pusher, lid, strainer basket, juice collector, and pulp container on the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive brush or sponge. Pay special attention to the strainer basket to ensure all pulp is removed from the mesh.
- Motor Base Cleaning: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
- Drying and Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer. Store in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; safety latches not engaged; motor overheated. | Ensure unit is plugged in. Check that the lid is securely locked with both safety latches. If motor protection system activated, unplug and let cool for 30 minutes before restarting. |
| Pulp overflows or juice leaks. | Pulp container not properly seated; too much produce fed too quickly; strainer clogged. | Ensure the pulp container is correctly installed and securely clicked into place (top groove first, then bottom). Feed produce slowly. Clean the strainer basket if clogged. |
| Motor sounds strained or stops. | Overloaded with produce; hard produce being forced; motor overheating. | Reduce the amount of produce fed at one time. Cut harder produce into smaller pieces. Do not force produce down the chute. If motor protection activates, allow to cool. |
| Low juice yield or wet pulp. | Strainer basket clogged; produce not suitable for juicing; feeding too fast. | Clean the strainer thoroughly. Ensure produce is fresh. Feed produce at a steady, slow pace. |
