• Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush. If you are not using
organic produce, we recommend using a biodegradable cleaner to help remove
pesticide residue.
• Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any waxed
fruit or vegetable.
• Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
• The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except
oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter
and is difficult to digest.
• Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top
of the feed tube while juicing. The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears,
and peaches should also be removed.
• Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the feed tube. Use the food pusher
to gently direct produce through the tube. NEVER PUSH PRODUCE INTO THE
FEED TUBE WITH YOUR FINGERS.
• It may be necessary to cut hard produce (carrots, beets, pineapple, etc.)
into smaller pieces to facilitate juicing.
• Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into
a small, tight ball and pushed through with either a carrot or the food pusher.
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them
and residue left in the machine can clog the micro-mesh screen.
• For best results when juicing apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes,
produce should be firm.
• When juicing apples, add a small amount of fresh lemon or lime to help slow down
the browning process.
• Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes
are not suitable for the Juice Extractor. Use a food processor, blender
or bar blender to process these fruits.
• The Juice Extractor is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy
fruits or vegetables such as sugar cane.
OPErATINg INSTruCTIONS
Dual Speed Control
Your Juice Extractor offers 2 speed options that ensure optimal rpm to provide
maximum juicing efficiency.
NOTE: Efficiency describes the amount of juice extracted from your produce.
HIGH: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to HIGH.
Use for harder produce, such as carrots, beets, and pineapple (with rind).
Also recommended for leafy or stringy produce such as celery and greens.
OFF: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to OFF to stop operation.
LOW: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to LOW.
Use for softer produce such as citrus, apples, grapes (with stems), melons,
peaches (remove pit), and tomatoes. LOW is recommended for ripe produce
that has become soft.
IMPORTANT: The Juice Extractor is equipped with a safety system that prevents the
Extractor from being turned ON unless the unit is completely and properly assembled.
1. Assemble the Juice Extractor following the Assembly Instructions described
in this manual.
2. Have all fruits and vegetables prepared for juicing.
