remove them to maximize the fruit flavor in the finished drink.

o Apricots
o Cherries
o Nectarines

• Remove and discard outer leaves of non-organic produce. Peel away any wax
coatings.

• The design of the feed chute accommodates larger produce. It will easily
accommodate most whole fruits and vegetables, such as apples, beets and
carrots. If necessary, cut into large pieces before inserting into feed tube.
• Be sure all parts of the juice extractor are clean and dry. See CLEANING
instructions on page 13.
ASSEMBLING THE JUICE EXTRACTOR
1. Place the juice extractor base over the motor base
with the arrow on the juice extractor base directly
above the unlock
symbol on the motor base.
Turn the juice extractor base counterclockwise
until it locks into position (A). The arrow will now
be above the lock
symbol on the motor base.
2. With both hands, hold the stainless steel mesh
filter by the rim and center it over the drive
shaft. Lower the filter into the juice extractor
base, rotating it clockwise until it drops into
place. You will hear it snap when it is engaged
(B).
Important: The cutting blades at the bottom of the
filter are very sharp. Always handle the filter by
the rim.
Note: When properly assembled, the filter will spin
freely inside the juice extractor base. This can be
checked by spinning the filter by the rim.
3. Place the lid on the juice extractor base so that
the safety lock tab is to the right of the safety
lock latch. Rotate the lid counterclockwise until
the bar snaps into the latch (C).
Important: Always press the OFF button to make
sure the appliance is off before securing the lid.
4. Tilt the pulp container slightly and place it
directly under the pulp spout. Push the bottom
of the pulp container so it rests against the side
of the motor base (D).
Hint: To make cleanup more convenient, line the
pulp container with a small plastic bag to collect
the pulp.
5. Place a glass or a measuring cup under the
juice spout to collect the juice (E).
6. Place the food pusher into the feed chute.
Important: For your protection, this appliance has
an interlock system. The juice extractor will not
operate unless the lid is properly locked in place.
