2. Plug the food processor power cord into a 120V electrical outlet.

3. Make sure that the spout is in the open position.
   NEVER JUICE WITH THE SPOUT IN THE CLOSED POSITION.

4. Wash all selected fruits or vegetables.

Operating the Juice Extractor

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 may 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 flavours 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.

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.

• 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 flavour.

• Zest the citrus peel for recipes before using the fruit for juicing. Freeze leftover juice into pre-measured cubes using an ice cube tray. Thaw to use.

• Choose oranges, lemons and limes with smooth, brightly cultured skin.

• The best citrus fruits are firm, plump and heavy for their size. Small brown areas on the skin (“scald” spots) will not affect flavour or juiciness.
  Avoid lemons/limes with hard or shriveled skin.

• Lemon and lime juice can be used interchangeably in most recipes (margaritas are an exception).

• Grapefruits should have thin, finely textured, brightly coloured 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. They’re generally seedless. Juice oranges have thinner skins and are often chock-full of seeds.
