INSTRUCTIONS
Disassembling the Compact Juice Extractor

unlocked if it is at rest at the back of the motor
base.

5. Carefully remove mesh filter basket/blade from
the filter housing by pulling up on the sides of
the rim. Be careful not to touch the blades in
the bottom of the basket.

motor base and empty.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure your Compact Juice Extractor is
properly assembled. (See Assembly
Instructions, page 4.)
2. Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical
outlet.
3. Make sure that the spout is in the open position.
NEVER JUICE WITH THE SPOUT IN THE
CLOSED POSITION.
4. Wash all selected fruits or vegetables.
5. While many fruits and vegetables will not need
cutting, any item with a diameter larger than 2¾
inches will need to be cut.
6. Press the on/off button when ready to begin.
The blue LED light will illuminate.
7. Lift the food pusher out of the feed tube and
drop your food into the opening. Push through
by inserting the food pusher and pressing firmly.
8. The juice will flow into the juice pitcher and the
pulp will accumulate in the pulp container.
9. When finished juicing, press the On/Off button
to stop the motor.
10. Before removing the juice pitcher from under
the spout, slide the spout to the closed position.
This will prevent juice from dripping on the
counter.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Do not immerse the motor housing in water or spray
it with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp
sponge, cloth or paper towel. Use any liquid dish-
washing detergent, but do not use any products
containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these
products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.
For easy cleanup, use cleaning brush to
remove excess pulp from the filter/sieve and the
lid after each use. Vegetables and fruits will harden
if left to dry on the unit parts, making it harder to
clean.
1. Unplug juicer and carefully take it apart,
following Disassembly Instructions on this page.
WARNING: Be careful when handling the mesh
filter basket/blade, as blades are very sharp.
2. Rinse all removable parts with cold water.
3. Wash the pulp container, juice pitcher, pusher,
lid and mesh filter basket/blade in hot, sudsy
water, or on top rack of dishwasher. Do not use
a metal brush or pad.
NOTE: For best juicing results, the mesh filter
basket/blade must always be thoroughly
cleaned after each use.
4. Towel dry all parts.
5. Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.

Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertil-
izers and chemicals, which is very important when
juicing whole foods. Buying foods in season is
considerably less expensive than purchasing off-
season, and flavors are much better.
