How to Assemble for Juicing

Before first use: After unpacking the Juice & Blend, remove cardboard from Strainer Basket and wash everything except Base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately. Never immerse the Base in water or other liquids; wipe it with a damp sponge

Place Strainer Bowl on top of the Motor Base. Then place Stainless Steel Strainer Basket inside Strainer Bowl.
With hands on outer edge, press Strainer Basket down firmly into position.
Place the Juicer Cover over Strainer Bowl, centering Feed Chute over the Strainer Basket, and lower into position.
Raise Locking Latches up to lock Cover into place. Juicer Icon ( ) should face outward.
Place Pulp Bin into position by tilting Bin slightly.
Place Blending Jar or other container under Juice Spout, ensuring Spout is turned down into the Blending Jar. Slide Food Pusher down Feed Chute by aligning groove in Food Pusher with small ridge on the inside of top of Feed Chute.

How to Juice & Blend

Wash fruits and vegetables.
NOTE: Most fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, and cucumbers will not need to be cut since they will fit into Feed Chute whole. It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or mangoes are peeled before placing in unit to minimize impact on juice flavor. All pits and seeds should be removed before juicing.
How to Assemble for Juicing

WARNING Laceration Hazard. Never use fingers to push food down the feed chute or to clear the feed chute. Always use the food pusher provided.

Ensure that unit is correctly assembled (see page 5) and place Blending Jar or other container under Spout, ensuring Spout is turned down.
Make sure Switch is in (Off) position. Plug into outlet. For hard foods move Switch to (HI). For soft foods move Switch to 1 (LO), or select P (Pulse). NOTE: See Juicing Chart and Tips on pages 8 and 10.
With the motor running, place food down the Feed Chute. Using Food Pusher, gently guide food down Feed Chute. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push Food Pusher down slowly. Juice will flow into Blending Jar or other container and separated pulp will accumulate in Pulp Bin.
NOTE: Pulp Bin can be emptied during juicing by turning Juice Extractor (Off), rotating Spout into up position to prevent drips, and then carefully removing Pulp Bin. Replace empty Pulp Bin before continuing to juice.
To minimize cleanup, place a 100% compostable large storage bag or plastic grocery bag in Pulp Bin to collect pulp. When juicing is completed, simply remove bag containing pulp.
Rotate Spout into up position to prevent drips on counter.
Remove Bowl Assembly by unlocking Locking Latches, then lifting up on Strainer Bowl.
Slide Pulp Bin away from Base.
Raise Locking Latches into Motor Base with Blender Icon ( ) facing outward.

Blending Tips

For best blending performance, add liquid first (at least 3/4 cup [6 ounces/177 mL]), followed by other ingredients in this order: ice, frozen fruit, greens, fresh fruit, yogurt and seeds.
Do not chop or process hard foods such as cheese, crackers, or meat.
If blending action does not start, stops during blending, or ingredients stick to sides of the Jar, turn Blender (Off). Remove Jar, shake contents, and return to blending.
Do not process hot foods or liquids in Blending Jar.
Avoid bumping or dropping Blending Jar.
If Blender stops working, unplug and allow 15 minutes before sing. Plug into outlet to start blending.
For blending protein powder drinks, blend less than 16 oz. (473 mL) since protein powders expand during blending.

How to Disassemble and Clean

Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not immerse motor base in water or any other liquid.

NOTE: Fruits and vegetables may cause parts to discolor. To prevent this, wash parts immediately after each use.

Unplug.
Rotate Spout into up position to prevent drips on counter.
Remove Bowl Assembly by unlocking Locking Latches.
Slide Pulp Bin away from Base.
Lift Juicer Cover off of Strainer Bowl.
To remove Strainer Basket, turn Strainer Bowl upside down and carefully remove the Strainer Basket. (It is recommended to remove Strainer Basket over a sink.) Pull off Juice Spout from Strainer Bowl and set aside

Juicing Tips, Techniques, and Recipes

Purchasing and Storing Fruits and Vegetables:

Always wash fruits and vegetables before juicing.
Always use fresh fruits and vegetables for juicing.
To save money and obtain fresher produce, purchase fruits or vegetables that are in season.
Keep your fruits and vegetables ready for juicing by washing them before storing.
ost fruits and hardier-type vegetables can be stored at cool room temperature. More delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers, and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.

Preparing Fruits and Vegetables:

It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or mangoes are peeled before placing in Juice Extractor to minimize impact on juice flavor.
All fruits with pits and large seeds such as nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, and cherries MUST be pitted before juicing.

Using the Pulp:

The remaining pulp left after juicing fruits or vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose which, like the juice, contain vital nutrients necessary for the daily diet and can be used in many ways. However, like the juice, pulp should be used that day to avoid loss of vitamins.
There are a number of recipes that use pulp. You can also use pulp to thicken casseroles or soups.
Pulp is great used in the garden for compost.

Soy Milk, Almond Milk, and Rice Milk:

This Juice Extractor may be used to make soy milk, almond milk, and rice milk. One cup of soybeans, almonds, or rice must be soaked in four cups of water for 24 to 48 hours in the refrigerator. Slowly pour one cup of the soaked mixture at a time into the Feed Chute.
The liquid extracted from the soaked mixture is the “milk.”

NOTES

Soy milk should be boiled to improve the flavor.
Vanilla, honey, and sugar may be added to enhance the flavor of each milk type.
