Important Safeguards

Read all instructions before using the electric appliance. Always follow these basic precautions:

1. The juicer has a safety feature that prevents the motor from running if components are not secured. Ensure it is assembled correctly before turning it on. Do not remove the juicer cover during operation.
2. For adult use only. Never leave unattended children near the appliance.
3. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged. Return it to an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
4. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to prevent them from playing with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance should not be done by children.
5. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
6. To protect against electric shock, never immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid. Do not operate the control panel with wet hands. Wipe down with a damp cloth. Non-electric components can be washed with warm water and soap.
7. Never connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system to avoid a hazardous situation. To disconnect, turn off the appliance, then unplug it.
8. Do not use the appliance for purposes other than described in this manual. Use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries.
9. Do not let the appliance operate unattended.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Ensure the juicer base is on a stable, level, and dry surface.
12. Do not assemble or disassemble the juicer while it is plugged in.
13. Keep hands, fingers, hair, clothing, and foreign objects away from the chute to avoid accidental damage and injuries.
14. Do not place hands, fingers, or other objects into the chute while the juicer is assembled. If produce becomes stuck, use the included pusher to push it down. Alternatively, turn off the juicer, unplug it, and disassemble it before removing the food.
15. Avoid contact with moving parts. Ensure the juicer is off and the motor has stopped completely before disassembling.
16. The blades on the centrifugal bowl are sharp! Use extreme caution when handling.
17. During juicing, ensure the rotor, centrifugal bowl, and pulp container do not have too much buildup. Clean them before continuing use.
18. The unit features an over-heating protection system. If the motor runs too long and risks overheating, the power supply will automatically cut off. Allow the motor to cool for approximately 1/2 hour before resuming use.
19. Store the machine in a dry and well-ventilated area.
20. For household use only.

Cord and Plug Safety

• A short power-supply cord reduces the risk of entanglement or tripping.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If an extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least equal to the appliance's electrical rating.
  • The longer cord should be arranged so it does not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Electrical Polarized Plug

This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) to reduce electric shock risk. Insert it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit securely, reverse it and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.

Power: AC120V~ 60Hz 800W
