Preparing fruits and vegetables for your 5 speed digital juice
extractor
• Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush. If you are not using organic
produce, we recommend using a biodegradable cleaner to help remove pesticide residue.
• Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any waxed fruit
or vegetable.
• Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
• The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except oranges,
grapefruit, and tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter and is difficult to
digest.
• Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top of the feed
tube while juicing. The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears, and peaches should also
be removed.
• Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the feed tube. Use the food pusher to
gently direct produce through the tube. Never push produce into the feed tube with your
fingers.
• It may be necessary to cut hard produce (carrots, beets, pineapple, etc.) into smaller
pieces to facilitate juicing.
• Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into a small, tight
ball and pushed through with either a carrot or the food pusher.
• Juicing herbs and leafy greens will yield a lower juice level due to the nature
of the vegetable or greens. It is recommended to juice them in combination with other
fruits and vegetables.
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them and
residue left in the machine can clog the micro-mesh screen.
• For best results when juicing apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes, produce
should be firm.
• When juicing apples, add a small amount of fresh lemon or lime to help slow down
the browning process.
