• This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or near children.

• To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not put cord, plug, or appliance in or near water or other liquids. The Juicer is NOT dishwasher safe.

• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.

• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

• Never let the machine work for longer than 20 minutes at a time.

• Unplug the appliance prior to assembly/disassembly, moving, cleaning, storage, and when not in use.
  To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• For maintenance other than cleaning, please contact Store Bound directly at 1-800-898-6970 Monday – Friday or by email at support@bydash.com.

• Store Bound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.

• Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even in personal injury.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

• A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

PARTS & FEATURES

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove all parts from the packaging. Note that the Hopper and Cleaning Brush are packed on the outside of the protective foam.
• Wash all removable and washable parts, such as the Pusher, Cover, Sieve, Auger, Bowl and Cups in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Setting Up Your deluxe Cold Press Power Juicer

1. Make sure the Cold Press Power Juicer is unplugged and the On/Off Switch is turned to Off prior to assembling (photo A).
2. Position the Juice Bowl on the Motor Block. Make sure the Bowl is mounted properly on the Axle of the Motor Block (photo B).
3. Push the Auger firmly into the center of the Bowl, making sure that it rests on the bottom (photo C).
4. Position the Cover on the Bowl and twist until the cover clicks shut. Make sure the arrow on the Cover aligns with the Lock icon on the lid (photo D). Note that the unit will not power on if the Cover is not locked into place.
5. Position one cup under the Juice Spout and one cup under the Pulp Spout. The Juicer is now ready to use (photo E). The Hopper can be added to the tube of the Cover to hold more ingredients, if you wish (photo F).

Using Your deluxe Cold Press Power Juicer

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

2. Before using, make sure that the Juicer is turned Off and plug it in. Position the Cups underneath the Spouts (photo B). Clean fruit and vegetables you wish to juice. For best results, cut ingredients into 1-1.5” segments.
   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.

3. Turn on the On/Off Switch (photo C).

4. Insert the prepped ingredients into the opening at the top of the Cover. Push the food down into the bowl using the Pusher (photo D).
   TIP: Begin with firmer ingredients, and then squeeze softer ingredients.
   CAUTION: Never use the machine with an empty bowl, always add ingredients.
   If the Cover becomes loosened from the Bowl during use, the motor of the machine will automatically stop to prevent hazards.
   DO NOT insert fingers or other foreign objects into the opening of the Cover while the machine is in use.
   Use only the Pusher and NOT spoons, forks, tongs, etc.

5. If the machine becomes stuck during use, turn the On/Off Switch to R and hold down the switch so that the machine runs in the opposite direction (photo E). This could remove any obstructions. Release the switch to stop the reverse movement.
   If this does not work, turn the machine off, remove the plug from the outlet and reassemble the machine according to the instructions. Then try to start the machine again.

6. When the Cup is full or when all fruits and vegetables have been squeezed, turn the On/Off Switch off (photo F) and close the Juice Valve.
   NOTE: If the machine overheats, it will turn off automatically. Turn the On/Off Switch to off and wait 10 minutes, then turn the machine on again. Juice should always be stored in the refrigerator.
   CAUTION: Never let the machine work for longer than 30 minutes at a time.
   Do not touch the On/Off Switch with wet hands.

Using your frozen attachment

• Look for the to determine which attachment is the Frozen Attachment for frozen treats.
• The Frozen Attachment is perfect for making frozen smoothies and sorbet.
• NOTE: When using the Frozen Attachment, the fruit will come out of the Pulp Spout rather than the Juice Spout.
• Do not put ice cubes in the Power Juicer.
• If freezing your own fruit for sorbet, cut fruit into 1” cubes before freezing for best results.
• Allow frozen fruit to soften at room temperature for about 5-15 minutes.
• Only juice one piece of fruit at a time when using the Frozen Attachment. For example, using the Pusher, juice 1 piece of fruit through the Feed Tube until it is entirely processed and then add another piece of fruit.
• Apply steady pressure when pushing food through the Feed Tube.

Cleaning & maintenance

1. Turn the On/Off Switch to off. Close the Juice Valve and remove the Cups. Unplug the Juicer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Remove the Cover by twisting counterclockwise (photo A) and then lifting. Remove Auger from Bowl (photo B) and clean underneath. If the Auger is stuck, try rotating and then removing.

3. Remove the Juice Bowl (photo C). Empty the Cups and clean the Cover, the Pusher, Sieve, Bowl, and Auger and Cups under running water.

4. Use the included Cleaning Brush to clean the Sieve properly (photo D). Be careful when cleaning the Sieve.
   CHEF TIP: It is recommended to clean the Sieve with the Cleaning Brush for safety as the Sieve is sharp.

5. Use the chisel end of the Cleaning Brush to help remove fibrous material from the Pulp Spout (photo E).

6. If there is still residue in the mouth of the Spout, you can turn the Juicer Bowl over, open the Silicone Pressure Valve, and rinse with water (photo F). Then reattach the Silicone Pressure Valve.

NOTE: ALL parts of the Juicer are dishwasher safe, EXCEPT for the Motor Block.
**** DO NOT submerge the Motor Block in water.
DO NOT use harsh metal sponges, as they could damage the machine.
Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning. Once completely dry, reassemble (See page 7) and store in a dry place.

Tips & Tricks

• 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.
• Fruits and vegetables should be cut into pieces 1-1.5” long before juicing, especially fibrous foods like celery and pineapple.
• Seeds and pits should be removed from fruits like citrus and melon before processing.
• Very 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.
