Q. 

Can I add ice or liquid to the Power Juicer?  

A. 

 No, ice turns to water and any other liquid that is poured in will cause an abundance of liquid 

in the receptacle. It will overflow and run out the sides of the receptacle. Add these items 

separately in a glass, pitcher or blender.

Q. 

How can I get berry juice to come out of the receptacle?

A.  

Follow the berries with a fruit or vegetable that contains a larger volume of juice. These fruits 

will produce more juice and push the berry juice through the receptacle. If you choose to juice 

only berries then take the machine apart and empty juice from receptacle into a glass or b

owl.

Q. 

How can I get more pulp for cooking recipes?

A. 

 Unfortunately you may have to juice quite a bit to get a lot of pulp. The Jack LaLanne Power 

Juicer gives up to 30% more juice than other juicers so there is usually not a lot of pulp left. 

The good news is you can freeze the pulp in airtight bags or containers. So every time you 

make fresh juice, just freeze the pulp until you are ready to use it.

Q. 

How long does the fresh juice last?

A. 

  To get the full benefits of fresh juice it is best if you drink it right away. As fresh juice sits it 

looses significant amounts of vitamins and nutrients. Some juices last longer than others and 

refrigerate well as long as they are in a sealed container. They can only be kept for a few hours.  

Preferably in a glass covered container so the flavor is not altered. You can add a few drops of 

lemon juice to help maintain the flavor.  

 

 Here is a list of juices that refrigerate well: carrot, apple, orange, pear, grape, grapefruit, 

pineapple, kiwi, prune, peach, celery, and beet juice. You can also freeze fresh juice the  

same way. Juice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to one month.  

Q. 

How long does the pulp last?

A. 

 Fruit and vegetable pulp can be frozen. It is best if it is in an airtight container or freezer bag. 

Discard after one month. We recommend that  

you use a separate container or bag for each pulp.

Q. 

Is there a customer service number I can call?

A. 

 Yes, should you have any problems our friendly customer service staff is here to help you if you have 

a question? We are available at 973-287-5150.

Q. 

Can I use wheatgrass in my Power Juicer?

A. 

 Yes, it works best if you roll it up in something leafy such as spinach and follow with something 

juicy such as pineapple. If you choose  

to juice wheatgrass alone just roll it up and insert it in the Power Juicer. 

Q. 

Can I use cherries whole in my Power Juicer?

A. 

 Yes, but only if the pits have been removed prior to juicing. A quick, easy way to do this is by 

using a cherry pitter.

Q. 

Can I use grapes with seeds and stems?

A. 

 Yes, we recommend you wash them thoroughly prior to juicing.

Q. 

Can I put a rind of the melon in the Power Juicer?

A. 

 Yes, we recommend you wash them thoroughly prior to juicing. We do not recommend leaving 

the rind on the cantaloupe due to recent cases of salmonella contamination. This is a personal 

preference.

Q. 

 Can my Power Juicer be used as a food processor? Is there a special  

attachment I need?

A.  

No, there is no attachment that turns the Power Juicer into a food processor. However, the Power 

Juicer leaves behind pulp from the fruits and vegetables that is used to cook with or freeze to 

make delicious frozen treats. Use the pulp to make healthy sauces, salsas, dips, muffins and more.
