Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended for household use only. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with your juice extractor. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. 2 840095501 ENv02 4/14/08 2:43 PM Page 3 Laceration Hazard. w WARNING The cutter/strainer may fly apart during use if it is damaged.

Important Information · The juice extractor is manufactured for NORMAL HOUSEHOLD USE. If you have large quantities, such as 10 pounds or more, process in small batches, allowing motor to cool completely between uses. · When juicing CARROTS, DO NOT PACK food chute. Place carrots in food chute one by one, and use gentle pressure. 4 · DO NOT OVERLOAD THE FOOD CHUTE. For best results, simply drop food pieces, one at a time, into chute. Gently and slowly press with food pusher. This will extract the maximum amount of juice. · If the juice extractor SEEMS TO STRUGGLE or slow down, turn the unit OFF and unplug. Thoroughly wash the cutter/strainer and separator according to instructions. Reassemble and continue juicing. 840095501 ENv02 4/14/08 2:43 PM Page 5 Fruit & Vegetable Preparation Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds from apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, etc. Peel thick-skinned fruits and vegetables such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, tangerines, watermelons, pineapples and winter squash. Juicing Tips & Techniques · Juicing avocados or bananas produces a puree rather than a juice. · Form leafy vegetables into compact balls or rolls before inserting into food chute. · One pound of raw produce usually yields one cup (8 ounces) of juice. · When working with large quantities of fruits and vegetables, be sure to stop unit to empty pulp bin as it begins to fill. The cutter/strainer should also be cleaned, as the extraction will decrease considerably. · If you desire a clear juice, filter juice through layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter. This will also remove any foam which results during juicing. · To keep juices from discoloring during storage, add a few teaspoons of lemon juice or ascorbic acid powder. · Serve juices immediately, as the flavor and nutrient content decreases rapidly when juices are stored. If it is necessary to juice fruits and vegetables some time before serving, cover container tightly and refrigerate. Do not store for more than 24 hours. · The flavor, color, and consistency of freshly juiced fruits will be different from canned juices. · Substitute fruit or vegetable juices for stock or water in cooking. · Some pulp remaining in juice is normal. It increases the juice's flavor and nutritive value. · Potato juice can be used in place of cornstarch or flour as a thickening agent in gravies and soups. · Vegetable juice mixed with carrot juice will produce a sweeter vegetable flavor. · Freeze vegetable pulp for use in making soups. · The softer the texture of a fruit or vegetable, the thicker the juice produced. Apricots, peaches, pears, melons, and strawberries are soft textured fruits. The juice that is extracted from these fruits is very thick and is known as nectar. It is best to combine these juices with thinner juices, such as carrot, apple, etc. Beet greens, parsley, spinach, and watercress yield very rich and thick juices. They are very strongflavored and taste best when combined with other fruits and vegetables. · The optional strainer may be used to further reduce pulp and foam. 5 840095501 ENv02 4/14/08 2:43 PM Page 6 Caring For Your Juice Extractor To prolong the life of the juice extractor, it is recommended that all washable parts be washed immediately after each use.
