Q .
Why won’t the power turn on?
A.
First, make certain the Juicer’s AC cord is plugged into a working 110V 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 kits are also available on 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. If the fruit you are using is over ripe.
2. If there is too much pulp in the Filter. Turn the machine off, unplug the AC power cord,
and clean the Filter.
3. Fruits such as avocados or bananas cannot be juiced in the Power Juicer.
4. The Spout may be blocked by a piece of pulp that may have passed through the Filter
causing the juice to collect in the Receptacle and overflow. Turn the machine off, unplug
the AC power cord, wait for the 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 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 and 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 can not 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”.
Q .
How can I juice carrots?
A.
Carrots can be a bit challenging to juice due to their dense nature. Never over stuff the
Chute, always leave some “wiggle room” to avoid jamming the Chute. Once carrots have
been inserted, quick follow up with the Pusher using firm even pressure will prevent carrots
from bouncing back off the Blade.
