CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unplug from outlet. Please follow the procedures outlined in the disassembly instructions
to remove parts before cleaning.
2. Clean unit and parts after each use.
3. Do not immerse the motor base in water or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a
damp sponge, cloth, or paper towel. Use any liquid dishwashing detergent but do not use
products containing ammonia or scouring powders. These products will dull, scratch or mark
the surface.
4. If any juice has spilled under the juice extractor, clean legs and area with a lightly soaped
sponge, then dry. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice from inside the motor hub on
top of the motor base.
5. All parts (except the blade basket and motor base) are washable in warm, soapy water
or in the dishwasher.
6. When cleaning the blade basket, make sure the tiny holes in the basket are not clogged.
This can be accomplished by holding the blade basket under running water faucet. Use
the cleaning brush included in a circular motion to clean the basket holes from both inside
and outside of the blade basket.
Caution: Use care when handling the blade basket. Hold the basket's rim only. Do not touch
the cutter blades on the bottom of the basket. The cutter blades are very sharp!
Note: If necessary, allow the blade basket to soak in hot water with 10% lemon juice added.
7. The juice extractor clear cover, juice bowl, pulp jug, juice jug and juice jug lid may be washed in
the top rack of a dishwasher. However, washing with warm (not hot) tap water on a daily basis
should be sufficient.
8. Due to the powerful staining properties of the carotenoids that are found in many vegetables,
especially carrots, we suggest soaking stained parts overnight in any of these 4 cleaning
solutions:
• Biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover juice extractor parts
• 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
• 1/2 small box baking soda in enough warm water to cover parts.
• Warm water with 10% lemon juice solution.
Caution: Never use ammonia or abrasives.
• Lightly clean with a sponge or kitchen rag and liquid detergent after soaking.
Warning: Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquid!
STORING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unplug unit, assemble clean, dry parts before storing.
2. Store the juice extractor in its box in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot or still
plugged in.
3. Store the food pusher in the feed tube of the lid.
4. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on the cord where it enters
the unit; while holding the cord perpendicular to the unit, push inwards slowly to store it inside
the base of the unit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom
The juice extractor will not
turn on
Excessive noise or
vibrations, unpleasant odor,
appliance is hot to the
touch, or the juice extractor
smokes after it is turned on.
Possible correction
• 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.
• Turn the speed dial to Power (OFF). Check to make sure
the blade basket is properly seated.
• Make sure the safety locking bar is securely locked into place
on the top of the lid. (see figure 6.) The lid must be bared
securely into place or the juice extractor will not turn on.
• Unplug the unit immediately. Take the juice extractor
to a qualified appliance repair technician for servicing.
