Operation
Maintenance
2. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling clean fruit/vegetables.
3. You need to wash, rinse, and sanitize utensils/knives before cutting fruit/vegetables. Separate cutting
boards for fruits and vegetables are needed unless cleaning/sanitizing occurs between each use.
4. If you do not drink the juice immediately, put it in the refrigerator or in ice.
5. Thoroughly clean juice machines according to the instructions in this manual.
6. Store juice at 45 degrees F. Or below during refrigerated storage or iced storage. Replenish ice as it melts.
To keep the produce cold the level of ice must be within 1 inch of the top of the container.
• Wear gloves suitable for produce handling during preparation and juicing.
• Citrus fruit should be cut just a little larger than the feed hole so food can be wedged in and then pushed
through with a plunger.
• All other produce should be cleaned and cut to fit the hopper. The larger the better; less prep = higher
efficiency.
• On mixed drinks, alternate produce going through the hopper. Firmer vegetables should follow leafy
greens, apples, and stringy vegetables such as celery.
• Always end with firmest produce, and push through fast and hard. This helps in the pulp extraction.
• The motor in the n450 is a heavy-duty industrial motor. It is difficult to overload it in the juicing application,
so push food through fast. Not only does this help in extraction, it increases efficiency.
• Bunch up leafy greens and push through using a carrot or other hard vegetable. This helps to increase the
yield.
• Limes are very bitter, so we suggest you squeeze lime into your drinks, rather than juicing it whole.
• Oranges and grapefruit: peel off the bitter tasting zest, leaving the white pithy part on. The pith contains
bioflavonoids and vitamin C.
• Tropical fruits such as kiwi and papaya should be peeled. They are often grown in foreign countries where
certain fertilizers, illegal in the US, are still being used.
• Pineapples - just screw off top, slice remainder into long strips, leaving husk on. Always juice the harder
core of the pineapple last. This helps in the pulp ejection. The skin of pineapple contains the enzyme
bromelain, which is reported to help in the digestion of protein (good for people who overindulge in meat
and dairy foods), and may also help to reduce swelling and joint pain.
INITIAL CLEANING
To remove miscellaneous residue, disassemble and wash juicer prior to initial use. The machine must be
disconnected from the power source and disassembled following the disassembly instructions on page #6.
Wash the juice pan, screen filter, cutter plate, blade nut, wrench, and food pusher in hot soapy water and rinse
thoroughly.
DAILY SANITIZING PROCEDURE
THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT AT THE START OF EACH DAY. BE SURE TO WEAR
VINYL GLOVES, AS USED FOR FOOD HANDLING, DURING THIS OPERATION.
