Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
Important: Always unplug your juice extractor from the outlet before cleaning.
CLEANING
1. Disassemble your juice extractor following the instructions in
DISSASSEMBLING YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR.
2. Using a sponge or damp cloth, clean the base, rubber feet and underside of
the juice extractor. If necessary, you may use a damp toothbrush or cloth to
clean juice from the inside the drive shaft (on top of motor base).
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 juice extractor parts – except the 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.
4. To clean the food pusher properly, remove the center cap in the cover of the
food pusher. To remove, grasp cap and lift directly out of food pusher, using the
notch for leverage. Once parts are dry, replace the cap.
5. To clean the filter, use cleaning brush provided to make sure tiny holes in
mesh filter are not clogged. This can be accomplished by holding filter basket
under a running faucet while brushing the mesh filter screen from both the
inside and outside of the filter mesh.
Tip: Pulp from pulp container can be used in many different ways: making
breads, muffins, cakes, soup stocks, compressed facial packs and garden
compost material.
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 juice extractor 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 juicer parts.
Important: Never use ammonia or abrasive cleansers!
2. After soaking overnight, lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid
detergent.
ENGLISH
STORAGE
Store your juice extractor in a clean, dry place. Never wrap cord tightly around
the appliance. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters juicer, as this
could cause cord to fray and break.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM
Important: This appliance contains a PTC overheat protection system. When
the appliance is being operated for too long or with too much load, the PTC
protector will shut down the power of the appliance to protect the unit. If the
power shuts down, unplug for 15 minutes and plug in for normal operation.
