SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with  this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Read all instructions and important safeguards.
• Remove all parts from the packaging.
• Wash all removable and washable parts, such as the Pusher, Chute & Strainer Assembly, Juicing Bowl, Cups and Brush in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

ASSEMBLING THE JUICER

Please make sure the unit is unplugged and the switch is turned to the “O” position prior to assembling the appliance.

1. Position the juice squeezing bowl on the Power base aligning the position of the spouts and the axle. (Fig 1)
2. Push the squeezing auger firmly into the center of the juice squeezing bowl, making sure that it is firmly seated or else the Chute & Strainer Assembly will not fit and lock properly. (Fig 2)
3. Position the chute on the bowl to align the “arrow sign” to the “unlock sign” and twist it clockwise until it clicks the safety lock. Make sure that the “arrow sign” aligns with the “lock sign” on the Bowl. (Fig 3)
4. Place the juice container and the pulp container under the relevant spouts. (Fig 4)

HOW TO USE

1. The On/Off Switch has 3 positions: On (I), Off (O), and Reverse (R).

2. Check and make sure all parts are well assembled in correct position.

3. Prior to use, make sure that the juicer is turned off. Then plug into outlet. Position the Cups underneath the Spouts. Clean fruit and vegetables prior to juicing. For best results, cut ingredients into 1-1.5” segments.

4. Insert the prepped ingredients into the chute. Push the food down into the bowl using the Pusher.

5. Press the switch to Setting “O” to start the juicing operation.
   TIP: Begin with firmer ingredients, and then squeeze softer ingredients.
   NOTE: Let the juicer run for 30 seconds after the last ingredient was fed.

6. If the machine becomes stuck during use, turn the switch to R and hold down the switch so that the machine runs in the opposite direction. This could remove any obstructions. Release the switch to stop the reverse movement. If this does not work, turn the machine off, unplug from the outlet and reassemble the machine according to the instructions. Then try to start the machine again.

7. When the juice cup or pulp collecting cup is full or when all fruits and vegetables have been squeezed, turn the switch Off and close the Juice Spout Cover.

Open & Close of Juice Spout Cover
During the juicing process, you can keep the juice spout cover closed before the juice is full in the juicing bowl.
Benefit of the Juice Spout Cover:
– To stop dripping at the end of juicing.
– To mix the juice with different fruits and vegetables.

CAUTION:
– Remove hard pits or seeds prior to pressing to prevent possible damage to the Auger. The peel and pits/ seeds must be removed from oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and melons before use.
– Never use the machine with an empty bowl, always add ingredients.
– DO NOT insert fingers or other foreign objects into the chute while the machine is in use.
– Use only the Pusher and NOT spoons, forks, tongs, etc.
– Never let the machine work for longer than 20 minutes at a time.
– DO NOT touch the On/Off Switch with wet hands.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

*DO NOT PLACE REMOVABLE PARTS IN DISHWASHER

1. Turn the switch to Off. Close the Juice Spout Cover and remove the Cups. Unplug the juicer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Remove the Chute by turning the chute counter-clockwise until the “arrow sign” aligns with the “unlock sign”. (Fig 5)

3. Remove the Squeezing Auger by pulling it out upward. If it is difficult to remove, move auger slightly left to right while pulling upward. (Fig. 6)

4. Remove the Juicing Bowl by lifting it upward vertically. (Fig 7)

5. HAND WASH disassembled parts under running water. Use the included Cleaning Brush to clean the sieve/strainer properly. DO NOT PLACE PARTS IN DISHWASHER.

6. Use the chisel end of the Cleaning Brush to help remove fibrous material from the Pulp Spout.

7. If there is still residue in the mouth of the Spout, you can turn the Juicing Bowl over, open the Silicone Pressure Valve and rinse with water. Then reattach the valve. (Fig 8)

8. To clean the seal ring in the center of the juicing bowl, please follow the steps below:
   a. Turn the juicing bowl upside down for easier handling. Push the seal ring out with your thumb (Fig 9) and clean it with water.
   b. After cleaning, install the seal ring in the center of the juicing bowl. The ribbed surface should face upward (Fig. 10). Make sure the groove of the seal ring is secure in the juicing bowl.
   c. The flat side of the seal ring will be inside the juicing bowl while the ribbed side will be facing outward. (Fig 11)

9. DO NOT submerge the Power Base in water.

10. DO NOT use harsh metal sponges, as they could damage the machine.

11. Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning. Once completely dry, reassemble (see page 5) and store in a dry place.

HELPFUL TIPS

• Starchy fruits and vegetables, such as sugarcane, avocado, banana, fig, mango, papaya, dragon fruit, kiwi and grapes, are not suitable for juicing as they will easily clog the sieve.
• Fibrous fruits and vegetables such as celery and pineapple, should be cut into 1-1.5” pieces prior to juicing.
• Seeds and pits should be removed from fruits like citrus and melon before processing.
• Seedy fruits like strawberries and raspberries might clog the sieve. Be sure to go slowly and limit these types of fruits to small quantities to avoid clogging.
• Do not put ice cubes into the chute. It may damage the squeezing auger.
• Only use the pusher provided with this juicer. Other accessories may damage the juicer or cause injury.
