• Once the workbowl lid has been removed from the workbowl place it upside
down to hold the chopping blade and keep your counters clean.
• Although plastic parts of the workbowl are dishwasher-safe, you may wish to
wash them by hand to retain their clear appearance.

(about 5 oz.) of coffee beans or 1 cup (about 4 oz.) of nuts into the workbowl.
Press the High button; allow the appliance to run until the desired grind is
achieved.
• When chopping dried fruits, add a little flour to keep the pieces from sticking
together.

Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
Important: Always unplug your appliance from the outlet before cleaning.
CLEANING
1. Unplug your Juiceman
®
Express Jr. and disassemble.
2. Using a sponge or damp cloth, clean the motor base and rubber feet.
Important: Do not immerse the base in water or spray with water. Clean only by
wiping with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel.
3. All parts – except the motor base – are dishwasher-safe (top-rack only) or you
may wash in warm, soapy water, using any mild liquid dishwashing detergent.
Do not use any products containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these
can dull, scratch or mar the surface. Use the cleaning brush provided to
remove pulp left on any of the removable parts. Do not use metal brushes or
pads.
REMOVING TOUGH STAINS
1. Due to powerful staining properties of carotenoids found in many vegetables,
particularly carrots, we suggest soaking any stained parts overnight in one of
the following solutions:
• Biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover workbowl parts
• ¼ cup bleach added to a sink full of warm water
• 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
• ½ small box of baking soda in enough warm water to cover workbowl parts.
Important: Never use ammonia or abrasive cleansers!
2. After soaking overnight, lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid
detergent.
STORAGE
Store your appliance in a clean, dry place. Never wrap cord tightly around the
appliance. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters the motor base, as this
could cause cord to fray and break.
