4. Align the cover so that the pulp cover fits over the back of the base. Fit the tab of the cover into the slot on
the top of the juice bowl (see figure 4).
5. Turn the food pusher so that the groove in the side lines up with the tab in the feed tube. Insert the food
pusher into the feed tube (see figure 5). Store the food pusher in the feed tube of the lid until the produce
is ready to juice.
6. Push the locking clamp up and over the lid. Hold clamp firmly and push until the two black clamp locks rest
in the 2 locking slots on the top of the lid. Make sure the lid is clamped securely into place (see figure 6).
7. Add the pulp basket (see figure 7). Tilt the pulp basket slightly so that the lip of the juice bowl fits snugly over
the inside of the pulp basket. Push the bottom of the pulp basket so that it rests securely on its platform.
Important: to avoid spillage, make sure the pulp basket sits flush up against the base.
Note: to save cleaning time, line the pulp basket with a plastic grocery store produce bag.
8. Make sure the anti-drip spout is properly open (see figure 8).
9. Add the juice pitcher lid to the juice pitcher so that the lid's cut out fits over the pitcher's pouring spout. Tilt
the juice pitcher slightly so that the extractor's juice spout fits into the top of the pitcher lid (see figure 7).
This will prevent juice spillage.
Preparing Fruits And Vegetables For Your Juice Extractor
•
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.
