Q.
Why won’t the power turn on?
A.
First, make certain the Juicer’s Power Cord is plugged into a working 110-volt
electrical outlet, then check that the switch is in the “ON” position. Then, check
that all parts are assembled properly. The unit has a Built-In safety device that
will not let the motor turn on if not assembled properly. The Power Juicer also
has a built-in Thermal Cut-Off Safety Switch. If the machine was running then
shut down due to accidental overheating, then there is a 10-minute cooling time
before the machine will restart. This helps to protect the motor from seizing.
Q.
Can I order spare parts?
A.
Yes, you can visit us on the web at www.powerjuicer.com under the parts
heading. Replacement parts are also available on the back inside cover of the
operating manual or call 973-287-5150.
Q.
Why is my Power Juicer clogged?
A.
This may happen for a number of reasons:
1. Pulp collector is full and needs to be emptied.
2. If the fruit you are using is over ripe.
3. If there is too much pulp in the Filter/Blade. Turn the machine off, unplug the
Power Cord, and clean the Filter/Blade.
4. Fruits such as avocados or bananas cannot be juiced in the Power Juicer.
5. The Spout may be blocked by a piece of pulp that may have passed through
the Filter/Blade causing the juice to collect in the Receptacle and overflow.
Turn the machine off, unplug the Power Cord, wait for the Filter/Blade to stop
spinning and inspect the Spout. Clear the blockage so the juice can flow freely.
Q.
Can I put the whole fruit in the Power Juicer?
A.
Yes, as long as it fits in the Chute and does not have pits, tough skin or
stems. We recommend that you maintain your personal produce preferences
in their “fresh state” as juice, rather than a less nutrient rich “cooked” form.
Before juicing any produce, it is important to wash it thoroughly to remove all
contaminants including soil and pesticides.
Q.
Can I put whole fruits with large pits in the Power Juicer?
A.
No, remove pits, as they will damage the Filter/Blade and possibly the unit.
Q.
Can I put all components in the dishwasher?
A.
All components are dishwasher-safe (with the exception of the motor housing)
in a household dishwasher manufactured to US standards. Avoid European made
or commercial dishwashers. Some commercial- or foreign-made dishwashers may
reach internal temperatures that are higher than machines made for home use
by US standards. Do not use these dishwashers with your Power Juicer. The higher
temperatures may cause damage to your juicer voiding your warranty. Check
with your dishwasher manufacturer before using.
Q.
How can I make smoothies if you cannot add milk, yogurt, ice or bananas
to the Power Juicer?
A.
The Power Juicer will not make smoothies, only fresh juice for smoothies. Add all
smoothie ingredients separately in a blender.
Q.
What is the diameter of the feed Chute?
A.
The inside diameter of the Chute is approximately 3”.
