OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Make sure your Compact Juice Extractor is properly assembled. (See Assembly Instructions, page 4.)

2.Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet.

3.Make sure that the spout is in the open position.

Never juice with the spout in the closed position.

4.Wash all selected fruits or vegetables.

5.While many fruits and vegetables will not need cutting, any item with a diameter larger than 2¾ inches will need to be cut.

6.Press the on/off button when ready to begin. The blue LED light will illuminate.

7.Lift the food pusher out of the feed tube and drop your food into the opening. Push through by inserting the food pusher and pressing firmly.

8.The juice will flow into the juice pitcher and the pulp will accumulate in the pulp container.

9.When finished juicing, press the On/Off button to stop the motor.

10.Before removing the juice pitcher from under the spout, slide the spout to the closed position. This will prevent juice from dripping on the counter.

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 dish- washing detergent, but do not use any products containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.

For easy cleanup, use cleaning brush to remove excess pulp from the filter/sieve and the lid after each use. Vegetables and fruits will harden if left to dry on the unit parts, making it harder to clean.

1.Unplug juicer and carefully take it apart, following Disassembly Instructions on this page.

WARNING: Be careful when handling the mesh filter basket/blade, as blades are very sharp.

2.Rinse all removable parts with cold water.

3.Wash the pulp container, juice pitcher, pusher, lid and mesh filter basket/blade in hot, sudsy water, or on top rack of dishwasher. Do not use a metal brush or pad.

NOTE: For best juicing results, the mesh filter basket/blade must always be thoroughly cleaned after each use.

4.Towel dry all parts.

5.Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

TIPS AND HINTS

•Extracted juice captures about 95% of the nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking extracted juice is a fast and efficient way for your body to digest and absorb all of those nutrients. Digesting whole fruits can take about an hour; extracted juices take only 15 minutes.

•Freshly extracted juices are an excellent aid in weight management and in cleanses, which rid the body of toxins.

•Always use fresh, organic and seasonal produce.

Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertil- izers and chemicals, which is very important when juicing whole foods. Buying foods in season is considerably less expensive than purchasing off- season, and flavors are much better.

•Wash all fruits and vegetables immediately after purchasing and store them in the refrigerator. This way they are ready to juice at any time.
