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!
