and disassemble juicer to remove the
remaining food.

aged cord or plug, or after the appliance

touch the small cutting blades in the base
of the stainless steel cutter/strainer.

bility of severe injury to persons and/or
damage to the appliance.

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use
only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a
polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the
risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way
into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or using an adapter. If the plug does not fit,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance
was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming
tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a
longer cord is necessary, an approved extension
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than
the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken
to arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
The cutter/strainer is a delicate screen. If bent
or damaged, do not use, as it could break into
small pieces and cause personal injury and/or
damage the appliance. Call our toll-free
customer service number to order a new
cutter/strainer. Replace cutter/strainer when
it shows signs of wear.
