IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read instructions thoroughly.
Turn the appliance OFF (O), then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull the power cord.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the juice Extractor / Citrus juicer motor housing in water or other liquids.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact our Customer Service Center to return for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
Using accessory attachments not sold or recommended by the manufacturer can cause fire, electric shock or injury.
Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with any hot surfaces, including stove, or to hang over table edge or counter.
Switch to OFF (O) position after each use and be sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
Do not put fingers or other objects into the juice extractor feed tube or on the citrus reamer while they are in operation. If food becomes stuck in the opening of the feed tube, use the food pusher or a piece of fruit or vegetable to push it down or turn the motor off and disassemble the unit to remove the trapped food.
If the mesh filter-basket/blade is damaged, do not use.
Always make sure the juice extractor and citrus juicer attachment is properly positioned and secured before motor is turned on. If it is not, the safety interlock will not operate.
Do not loosen attachments while the juice Extractor / Citrus juicer is in use.
Not designed for outdoor use.
Appliance should be plugged into a 120V household outlet only.
The appliance is wired for domestic use only.
Do not use the appliance for anything other than the intended purpose, as outlined in the instruction booklet.
Never juice with the spout in the closed position.
This unit comes with a resettable thermal device to prevent damage to the motor in the case of extreme overload. Simply unplug the unit, rest it for 30 minutes and continue.
Do not operate without the juice pitcher in place.
Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
Be careful when removing the pulp basket by the stem as it is normal for the drive pin to get warm after an extended run time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

No user-serviceable parts are inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
Maximum rating is 220 watts.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of entanglement or tripping. AN EXTENSION CORD WITH A MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING AT LEAST AS GREAT

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Assembling the Juice Extractor
To use the Juice Extractor and Citrus Juicer attachments, begin by setting the motor base on a clean, flat surface. Make sure the motor base is unplugged from the power outlet (not shown).

Place filter housing on top of motor base. Once done, turn housing clockwise until it locks into place.
Insert the micro-mesh filter with cutting disc into the filter housing, pressing firmly down on rim of the filter basket so it locks securely in place.
Be careful not to touch the blades on the bot-tom of the filter basket and be sure this part is inserted before every use.
Place the pulp sealing ring on top of micro-mesh filter basket.
Place the juice extractor cover on top of filter housing and twist into place, making sure to align locking marks.
Place juice pitcher in the front center of the unit.
Insert the food pusher into the feed tube.
Make sure the flow spout is in the open position. Never juice with the spout in the closed position.

Assembling the Citrus Juicer

Place the filter housing on top of the motor base. Place the citrus juicing basket and reamer on the spindle in the filter housing.
Place juice pitcher in the front center of the unit. Make sure the flow spout is in the open position. Never juice with the spout in the closed position.
Plug in power cord. Your citrus juicer is now ready to be used.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Disassembling the Juice Extractor

Unplug the Combo Juice Extractor / Citrus Juicer
Remove the food pusher from cover.
Lift and remove cover from filter housing.
Carefully remove the micro-mesh filter basket from filter housing by pulling up
on the sides of the rim. Be careful not to touch the blades in the bottom of the basket. DO NOT touch the metal shaft in the center of the micro-mash filter basket as it may be hot after using.
Make sure the flow spout is in the closed position. Remove the juice pitcher.

Disassembling the Citrus Juicer

Unplug the Combo Juice Extractor / Citrus Juicer
Rotate the Citrus Juicing Basket and Reamer assembly counterclockwise until it releases.
Remove the reamer from the basket by placing one hand on the basket and the other on the reamer and gently pulling to apart.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure your Combo Juice Extractor /Citrus Juicer is properly assembled. (See Assembly Instructions, pages 4 and 5.)
Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet.
Make sure that the spout is in the open position. NEVER JUICE WITH THE SPOUT IN THE CLOSED POSITION.
Wash all selected fruits or vegetables.

Operating the Juice Extractor

Select high speed (II) when using the juice extractor.
Lift the food pusher out of the feed tube and put your food into the opening. Push through by inserting the food pusher and pressing firmly.
Juice will begin to flow into the juice pitcher.
When juice is fully extracted, move the switch into the Off position.
Lift the spout to the closed position before removing the juice pitcher to prevent juice from dripping on the counter.

Operating the Citrus Juicer

Select low, medium, or high pulp setting on the Citrus Juicing Basket and Reamer assembly by rotating the reamer according to the arrows.
Low speed (I) is the recommended speed for best results.
Slice fruit horizontally.
Place center of citrus fruit on the center of the juicing reamer.
Place your palm over the fruit and press it firmly against the reamer using steady pressure.
Once you feel the ribs of the reamer through the citrus rind, remove it from reamer and begin juicing the next piece of fruit.
After approximately 1 lb. of fruit has been juiced, the juicing basket will appear to be full.
Place drip spout in the closed position and remove the juice pitcher.
Turn the juicing basket all the way to the left to release and remove it.
Separate the reamer and the juicing basket by pulling gently with one hand.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not immerse the motor housing 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 any products containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.
For easy cleanup, use the cleaning brush to remove excess pulp from the micro- mesh juice filter basket and citrus juicing basket after each use. Vegetable and fruit residue will harden if left to dry on the unit parts, making them more dif-ficult to clean. One side of the provided cleaning brush is designed to scrape the pulp out of the filter basket and the other side is used to brush the basket clean.

Unplug juicer and carefully take it apart, following Disassembly Instructions on page 5. WARNING: Be careful when handling the mesh filter basket/blade, as blades are very sharp.
Rinse all removable parts with cold water.
Wash the juice extractor cover, food pusher, juice pitcher, micro-mesh juice filter basket assembly, filter housing/juice container, and citrus juicing basket and reamer in hot, sudsy water on top rack of dishwasher.
NOTE : For best juicing results, the mesh filter basket must always be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
Towel dry all parts.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

TIPS AND HINTS
Juice Extractor

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 of those 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 pro-duce. 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.
Fresh juices should be consumed immediately. They lose nutrients as they sit.
Certain fruits should be peeled before juice extracting. 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.
If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.
Juice the softer ingredients before the harder ones.
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.
Use your taste to guide you on 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.
It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher version of your favorite cocktail with fresh juices.
Blend fruit juices with sparkling water or seltzer to make a natural soda.
Grapefruits should have thin, finely textured, brightly colored skin and be firm yet springy to palm texture.
The thinner the skin, the more juice. Juice from pink grapefruit contains more vitamin A than that from white grapefruit.
Use the hollowed-out citrus fruit skins that remain after juicing as containers for desserts such as sorbets.
Sweet oranges make the best juice, but you can make orange juice from any type of orange. Sweet oranges include both juice oranges and navel oranges. Navel oranges have a prominent navel and thick skin that’s easy to peel skin. They’re generally seedless. Juice oranges have thinner skins and are often chock-full of seeds.

TIPS AND HINTS
Citrus Juicer

Choose fresh fruit that is firm, not soft – it will yield more juice.
Always wash citrus fruit before juicing to remove pesticides and residue.
Room-temperature fruit will yield more juice than refrigerated fruit.
Citrus fruit should always be washed prior to juicing. Rolling it a few times on the counter prior to juicing will help obtain a higher yield of juice.
Roll fruit on the countertop with the palm of your hand a few times to increase juice yield.
Remove all seeds, but leave in pulp when using juice in baking – it will add flavor.
Zest the citrus peel for recipes before using the fruit for juicing. Freeze leftover juice into pre-mea-sured cubes using an ice cube tray. Thaw to use.
Choose oranges, lemons and limes with smooth, brightly colored skin.
The best are firm, plump and heavy for their size. Small brown areas on the skin (“scald” spots) will not affect flavor or juiciness. Avoid lemons/limes with hard or shriveled skin.
Lemon and lime juice can be used interchange-ably in most recipes (margaritas are an exception).
