Operating Instructions

Prepare your ingredients and operate the juicer:

2. Turn the stand mixer speed to the recommended setting (refer to stand mixer manual, typically speed 2-4).
3. Turn the stand mixer ON.
4. Slowly feed ingredients into the Feed Chute, using the Pusher to guide them down. Do not force ingredients.

Tips for Best Results:

• For best juice yield, use fresh produce.
