COMPACT BLENDER TROUBLESHOOTING

blending cup correctly and locked into place Plug the blender into an independent and electrical outlet and make sure the blender is securely plugged in. If it still doesn’t work, try plugging into a different outlet and/or check your home’s circuit breaker.
The blender stops running| The motor could have overheated.
The resettable fuse, which protects the motor if overloaded, may have been tripped. When this happens, reset the appliance by unplug-ging it and letting it cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then, reduce the contents
of the blending cup and/or clear any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the operating directions.
The blade assembly is hard to remove after blending| The ingredients cause pressure, and with the airtight seal, pressure builds up creating a vacuum or a suction effect. This is normal.
Unit appears to be leaking| Check rubber gasket and make sure it’s flush with the blender assembly. You can also check the rubber gasket to see if is in place or even damaged. The blade assembly should be tight.

COMPACT JUICE EXTRACTOR TROUBLESHOOTING

properly engaged.
(See Assembly Instructions, page 6.) Turn to HIGH to start juicing.
The juice extractor stops running| The motor could have overheated.
The resettable fuse, which protects the motor if overloaded, may have been tripped.
When this happens, reset the appliance by unplugging it and letting it cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then, reduce the contents or clear any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the operating directions.
Juice flow is slow| Excess pulp in mesh filter basket can slow juice rate. Stop the juice
extractor and clean filter basket.
Difficulty getting herbs or leafy greens down the feed tube| Place herbs between other ingredients. When using leafy greens, always place the leafy side in first and do not over pack the feed tube.
Unit is on but juice/pulp not flowing| Make sure the mesh filter basket/blade is in place.

COMPACT BLENDER – TIPS AND HINTS

• Always put the hardest ingredients into the blending cup first (ice cubes, frozen fruit) and finish with the softer ingredients and liquids.
• It is recommended that most foods be cut into ½- to 1-inch pieces to achieve the most uniform result.
• For best results in the fastest time, pulse a few times before running continuously. Pulses should be short bursts with about 1 second in between each one to allow the blade to stop rotating between pulses.
• To crush ice, put no more than 3 standard ice cubes into the blending cup at one time. Pulse until uniformly crushed.
• If food sticks to the sides of the blending cup when blending, stop the blender, carefully scrape down the food, replace blade assembly and pulse in short bursts to combine.
• When blending thicker mixtures, lightly hold down top of blending cup to prevent excessive movement.
• Do not attempt to mash white potatoes or knead bread dough in the blending cup.
• After blending, flip the blending cup over so that the blade assembly is on the top. Gently tap the cup on the counter a few times to prevent any spillage. Remove the blade assembly and replace with the provided lid.

COMPACT JUICE EXTRACTOR TIPS AND HINTS

• Extracted juice captures about 95% of the nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking extracted juice is a fast and efficient way for your body to digest and absorb all these nutrients. Digesting whole fruits can take about an hour; extracted juices take only 15 minutes.
• Freshly extracted juices are an excellent aid in weight management and in cleanses, which rid the body of toxins.
• Always use fresh, organic, and seasonal produce. Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertilizers 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.
• Wash all fruits and vegetables immediately after purchasing and store them in the refrigerator. This way they are ready to juice at any time.
• Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables as soon as possible after purchasing. The longer produce is held the more nutrients it loses.
• Certain fruits should be peeled before juicing. Examples are pineapples, melons, mangoes, papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin that you cannot eat. Also, remove all pits and hard seeds from peaches, cherries, mangoes, etc.
• Citrus fruit juice is delicious and richer in nutrients.
• If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.
• Juice the softer ingredients before the harder ones.
• When using the pusher, use gentle pressure to guide food through the feed tube. Do not press too hard or use too much force.
• When juicing herbs or leafy greens, juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients in order to extract the greatest amount of juice. Always put the leafy end of the greens into the feed tube first and do not over pack.
• Use your taste to guide you in creating fruit and vegetable combinations for juices. The recipes provided are a guideline, but the possibilities are endless. Experiment to discover your favorite combinations.
• Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable juices and apples do the same for fruit juices.
• Beets and carrots both have a naturally high sugar content, so when added to vegetable juices they can balance out any bitter flavors juiced vegetables may have.
• Use your Compact Juice Extractor in tandem with your blender. Blend fresh juices with ingredients like bananas, yogurt, and protein powders for delicious power smoothies.
• It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher version of your favorite cocktail with fresh juices.
• Stir fruit juices into sparkling water or seltzer to make a natural soda.
• The pulp that is separated from the juice has its own health benefits. It is high in fiber and can be used in a variety of ways.
