CLEaNINg aNd
MaINTENaNCE
Do not immerse the motor housing in water or
spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a
damp sponge, cloth or paper towel. Use any liquid
dishwashing detergent, but do not use any products
containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these
products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.
For easy cleaning, always clean immediately after
each use. Vegetables and fruits will harden if left to
dry on the unit parts, making it harder to clean.
1. Unplug juicer.
WaRNINg: Be careful when handling the filter
basket during cleaning, as the blades at the bottom
are very sharp. For best juicing
results, always thoroughly clean
the filter basket with the nylon
brush provided. (See image.)
2. Take juice extractor apart,
following Disassembly
Instructions (page 4). First, rinse with cold water.
Then wash the pulp container, juice pitcher,
pusher, lid and rotating filter basket in hot, sudsy
water, or place in top rack of dishwasher. Do not
use a metal brush or pad.
3. Towel-dry all parts.
4. Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
TIPS aNd hINTS
• Extracted juice from fresh fruits and vegetables
contains 95% of their nutrients. Drinking extracted
juices is the fastest way to digest fruits and
vegetables so that your body can absorb all of
those nutrients. As opposed to eating the whole
fruit, which can take about 1 hour to digest,
extracted juices take only 15 minutes.
• Fresh juices are excellent for aiding in cleanses
(ridding the body of toxins) and in weight
management.
• Always use fresh, organic and seasonal produce.
Organic produce is grown without synthetic
fertilizers and chemicals, which is very important
when juicing whole foods. When buying foods in
season, they are considerably less expensive than
purchasing off season, and the flavors are much
better.
• Wash all vegetables immediately after purchasing
and store them in the refrigerator. This way they
are ready to juice at any time.
• Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables soon after
purchasing. The longer produce is held, the more
nutrients it loses.
• Always wash vegetables and fruit before juicing.
• Fresh juices should be consumed immediately.
They lose nutrients as they sit.
• Certain fruits should be peeled first before juicing.
Examples of such fruits are pineapples, melons,
mangos, papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin
that you cannot eat. Also remove all pits and
hard seeds from fruit such as peaches, cherries,
mangos, etc.
