HOW TO USE YOUR FRUIT AND VEGETABLE
PROCESSOR & JUICER
•Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface with adequate clearance (i.e., do not place under wall cabinets or on carpeting or other soft surfaces). This appli- ance is not for use in convection or conventional ovens, microwaves, or on a stovetop.
•The extractor feature is used for firm fruits and vegetables, like carrots. The citrus juicer is used for soft citrus fruits, lemons, limes, oranges, etc.
•Always be sure that the appliance is properly assembled, turned on and run- ning before inserting food.
•Do not force feed the juicer. For most fruits and vegetables, a slow start/stop, or jabbing motion will work best. If the juicer starts to vibrate, a slightly stronger push with the firmer item should bring it into balance.
•Firmer items are best used when the pieces are just large enough to fit in the chute. Softer items are best used when cut into smaller pieces. Items with thin skins (tomatoes/grapes) are best when chopped into even smaller pieces. Stringy items like celery should be cut into roughly 2” long pieces for best performance.
•When making a drink that combines more than one fruit or vegetable,it is recommended to alternate the various fruit or vegetable pieces when placing them in the unit. For Example: Carrot/Celery/Tomato Juice – place a cou- ple pieces of one vegetable into the juicer, then a couple of pieces of the sec- ond vegetable, then the third vegetable. Repeat rotation until all pieces have been placed in the juicer. This will provide better juicing results than juicing all carrots, then all celery then all tomatoes.
•When juicing leafy greens, it is recommended that you twist and roll the greens into a ball the size of a golf ball. Always place the greens into the juicer first, followed by firmer produce like carrots or celery. The juice from these firmer vegetables will force additional juice from the greens.
