Care & cleaning instructions
1. Unplug from outlet. Please follow the procedures outlined in the
disassembly instructions to remove parts before cleaning.
2. Clean unit and parts after each use.
3. Do not immerse the motor base 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 products containing ammonia or
scouring powders. These products will dull, scratch or mark the surface.
4. If any juice has spilled under the juice extractor, clean legs and area
with a lightly soaped sponge, then dry. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth
to clean juice from inside the motor hub on top of the motor base.
5. All parts (except the blade basket and motor base) are washable in warm,
soapy water or in the dishwasher.
6. When cleaning the blade basket, make sure the tiny holes in the basket
are not clogged. This can be accomplished by holding the blade basket
under running water faucet. Use the cleaning brush included in a
circular motion to clean the basket holes from both inside and outside
of the blade basket.
Caution: Use care when handling the blade basket. Hold the basket’s rim
only. Do not touch the cutter blades on the bottom of the basket. The
cutter blades are very sharp!
Note: If necessary, allow the blade basket to soak in hot water with 10%
lemon juice added.
7. The juice extractor clear cover, juice bowl, pulp jug, juice jug and juice
jug lid may be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher. However, washing
with warm (not hot) tap water on a daily basis should be sufficient.
8. Due to the powerful staining properties of the carotenoids that are
found in many vegetables, especially carrots, we suggest soaking stained
parts overnight in any of these 4 cleaning solutions:
• Biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover juice extractor parts
• 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
• 1/2 small box baking soda in enough warm water to cover parts.
• Warm water with 10% lemon juice solution.
Caution: Never use ammonia or abrasives.
• Lightly clean with a sponge or kitchen rag and liquid detergent after soaking.
Warning: Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquid!
