COMPACT BLENDER ASSEMBLY

3. Place on blender base.
4. Turn clockwise to lock.

COMPACT JUICE EXTRACTOR ASSEMBLY

1. Place motor base on a clean flat surface. Make sure the motor base is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Place filter housing on top of motor base. Do not lock locking clamps into place until you’ve completed assembling the juice extractor.
3. Insert the mesh filter basket/blade firmly into filter housing by pressing down on the rim of the filter so it locks securely in place. Be careful not to touch the blades in the bottom of the basket and be sure this part is inserted before every use.
4. Place cover on top of filter housing. Be sure to align the feed tube over the mesh filter basket.
5. Make sure the locking clamps are pushed in the down position so the cover sits securely in the grooves.
6. Insert the pulp container onto the side of the unit by tilting the opening slightly under the cover.
7. Place a glass beneath the spout at the front of the unit.
8. Insert the food pusher inside the feed tube.
9. Move each locking clamp upwards against the bowl and lock them into place on top cover.

COMPACT JUICE EXTRACTOR OPERATION

1. Make sure your Juice Extractor Attachment is properly assembled (see Page 6) and attached to the motor base.
2. Plug the power cord into the 120V electrical outlet.
3. Wash all selected fruits or vegetables.
4. While many fruits and vegetables will not need cutting, any item with a diameter larger than 2 inches will need to be cut.
5. Turn the dial from the STOP position to HIGH.
6. Lift the food pusher out of the feed tube and drop your food into the opening. Push through by inserting the food pusher and pressing firmly.
7. The juice will flow into your glass and the pulp will accumulate in the pulp container.
8. When finished juicing, turn the dial to the STOP position to stop the motor.
