POLARIZED PLUG (0V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce 
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only 
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still 
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in 
any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent 
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not 
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. 
Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided 
to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a 
longer cord.
b)  Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and 
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c)  If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1)  The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or 
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the 
appliance,
2)  If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a 
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3)  The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the 
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified 
personnel ; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

How to Use
This product is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
• Remove all packing material and, if applicable, any stickers from the product. 
Remove and save literature. 
•  Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty. For 
additional information and recipes for your product, go to www.juiceman.com. 
•  Take the appliance apart following instructions in DISASSEMBLING YOUR 
JUICE EXTRACTOR and wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE 
AND CLEANING. This will remove any traces of dust or residue left from 
manufacturing and shipping. 
Important: Do not rinse or immerse base in water or any other liquid.
• Place base on a dry, level counter to prepare and assemble, following 
instructions in ASSEMBLING YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR.
•  Once assembled place the appliance on a level dry space, allowing air space on 
all sides to provide proper ventilation for the motor.
ASSEMBLING YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR
Important: Always make sure your juice extractor is unplugged before 
assembly.
1. Place juice bowl over base with juice spout facing 
the lid locking lever (B).
2.  With both hands, hold the filter by the rim and 
center it over drive shaft inside the juice bowl. 
Carefully lower filter into the juice bowl; press 
down firmly on the rim to secure (C).
Important: The cutting blades at the bottom of the 
filter are extremely sharp! Always hold and carry the 
filter by the rim.

3. Place the lid on the juice bowl so that the pulp 
opening is positioned over the pulp spout. Position 
the back of the lid over the edges of the pulp spout 
first; then lower the lid to fit firmly against the juice 
bowl (D).
4.  Engage the lid locking lever with the safety lock 
hook on the feed chute (E). You should hear a click 
as it locks in place.
Important: Your juice extractor will not operate if the 
lid locking lever is not properly locked.
5. Tilt the pulp container slightly and place it directly 
beneath the pulp opening. Push the bottom of pulp 
container inward so top edge slides up, behind the 
pulp spout. Continue to press firmly on the bottom 
of the pulp basket until it fits snugly against the 
base (F). When correctly positioned, pulp container 
will be completely covered by the pulp opening in 
the lid.
Tip: To make cleaning easier, you may wish to line the 
pulp container with a scrap bag or small trash bag to 
catch the pulp as you juice.
6.  Place the lid on top of the juice pitcher and position 
the pitcher to fit the juice spout into the opening at 
the back of the pitcher. Be sure that the juice spout 
empties through the opening in the pitcher lid (G). 7. 
Place the food pusher assembly in the feed chute 
until you are ready to juice. To insert, align the 
metal ridge on the large food pusher with the 
groove on the feed chute. Push down, so the food 
pusher unlocks the feed chute hatch and fits fully 
into the feed chute (H). (For more information on 
the different sizes of food pushers, refer to USING 
THE FOOD PUSHERS.)
USING THE FOOD PUSHERS
Note: The food pusher has 2 parts; the smaller inner section locks into the larger 
outer section.
For Smaller Produce:
1. For small fruits and vegetables, remove the small 
food pusher by holding the large food pusher with 
one hand and twisting counterclockwise until the 
lock of the inner section is disengaged; lift the 
small food pusher straight up (J). 
2.  Place the large food pusher into the feed chute, 
matching the metal ridge on the food pusher with 
the groove on the feed chute.
3.  Push down, so the large pusher unlocks the feed 
chute hatch and fits fully into the feed chute (K).
4.  Use the small food pusher to help guide the fruits 
and vegetables through the opening in the large 
food pusher.
For Larger Produce:
When using larger pieces of fruits or vegetables, 
replace the small food pusher in the large food pusher 
and use the assembled piece to help guide the larger 
fruits and vegetables through the feed chute. Match 
the notches on the small food pusher with the tabs on 
the large food pusher and twist the top clockwise until 
the small pusher is locked in place (L).

DISASSEMBLING YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR
Important: Always make sure your juice extractor is 
unplugged before starting to disassemble.
1. Remove the food pusher from the feed chute.
2.  Press down on safety lock button, swing lid locking 
lever away from feed tube. Release safety lock 
button (M).
3.  Grasp bottom of the pulp container and pull it away 
from the base, tilting slightly to release it from 
behind the pulp spout (N).
4.  Lift up on the lid to remove from the base. To 
remove easily, you may need to lift up on the front 
first, then disengage the back of the lid from the 
pulp spout on the juice bowl (P).
5.  The juice bowl and the filter can be removed 
together to disengage from the drive shaft. To 
remove, lift up on the front and back of the juice 
bowl (Q). 
6.  Once removed from the drive shaft, separate the 
two pieces by grasping the filter by the rim and 
lifting out of the juice bowl.
Important: The cutting blades at the bottom of the 
filter are extremely sharp! Always hold and carry the 
filter by the rim. 7. 
To remove the feed chute hatch release cover on 
the feed chute for cleaning, simply press down on 
the tab at the top of the cover and pull the cover 
away from the feed chute (R). (This design allows 
you to more easily remove any small pieces of food 
that may get trapped during use.)
PREPARATION 
How to prepare fruits and vegetables for juicing.
Purchasing and Storing Ingredients:
• Always use fresh fully ripened fruits and vegetables. 
•  When purchasing consider selecting fruits and vegetables in season for best 
freshness and flavor.  
•  Choose fruits that are plump, tender and have bright color. Fruits should 
 
be heavy for their size without bruises, cuts or blemishes. 
•  To ripen fruit, place in a small clean paper bag. Close the bag loosely and 
 
let stand at room temperature. (To speed ripening, add a ripe apple or banana 
to the bag.) Once ripened, store in the refrigerator for a day or 2 until ready  
to use. 
•  Store perishable vegetables in the refrigerator until ready to use. 
Preparing Fruits and Vegetables for the Juice Extractor:
• Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly just before using in the juice extractor, 
using a natural bristle brush and a biodegradable cleaner to help remove 
pesticide residue. 
•  If desired, remove the skin. The skin may be left on all produce with the 
exception of: 
o All citrus fruits, including 
•  Oranges 
•  Grapefruit 
•  Lemons 
•  Limes 
•  Tangerines 
Note: The oil in the skin of these fruits tastes bitter and is difficult to digest.
Tip: Although the skin may be left on melons and pineapple, you may choose to 
remove them to maximize the fruit flavor in the finished drink.

• All pits and large seeds should be removed from fruits, including: 
o Apricots 
o  Cherries 
o  Nectarines 
o  Mangos 
o  Peaches 
o  Plums 
o  Melons 
•  Remove and discard outer leaves of non-organic produce.  Peel away any wax 
coatings. 
•  Trim any bruised or discolored sections of fruits and vegetables. 
•  The design of the feed chute accommodates larger produce. It will easily 
accommodate most whole fruits and vegetables, such as, apples, beets, 
carrots and celery. If necessary, cut into large pieces before inserting into feed 
chute. 
•  Be sure all parts of the juice extractor are clean and dry. See the CARE AND 
CLEANING instructions section of the manual on page 11.
USING YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR
1. Assemble the fruits and /or vegetables to be used on the counter or in a bowl 
next to the extractor. 
2.  Place the juice pitcher under the spout and be sure the pulp container is in 
place.  
Note: When using the appliance, do not allow the pulp container to overfill. This 
may cause the appliance to stall.
3. Plug appliance into standard electrical outlet. 
4.  Turn the power to LOW (1) and allow it to run 10 seconds before placing any 
food into the feed chute. 
5.  Select the LOW (1) for soft to medium textured fruits and vegetables; use HIGH 
(2) for hard foods, such as, carrots, beets and broccoli.
6.  Insert the fruits and/or vegetables into the feed chute and use the food pusher 
as a guide to gently direct the produce. To get the most juice from the fruits 
and vegetables, do not rush the food through the appliance. 
Note: Do not allow food to extend above the max fill line on the feed chute.
Important: Never place fingers or hands into the feed chute.
7. The juice extractor will automatically separate the juice and pulp.
Note: Both the juice pitcher and pulp container can be emptied at any time. 
Simply turn the speed control to OFF (0).  Be sure to replace both containers 
before resuming juicing.
8. When juicing is complete, turn the speed control to OFF (0) and wait for the 
motor to come to a complete stop. Allow all remaining juice to drip into juice 
pitcher before removing it.
9.  Unplug appliance and follow directions under DISSASEMBLING YOUR JUICE 
EXTRACTOR.
JUICE EXTRACTOR TIPS
• Do not put food into the extractor before turning the appliance on. 
•  Let the appliance run for at least 10 seconds before placing any food into the 
feed chute. 
•  Do not let the juice or pulp container overfill while using the machine. Turn the 
appliance off, wait for the motor to stop running and any juice to stop flowing.  
Empty the juice and/or pulp container. Be sure they are properly replaced 
before resuming operation of the extractor. 
•  Do not process bananas, avocados or coconut. They have no juice and will clog 
the appliance. 
•  Be sure to remove all pits and large seeds from fruits. 
•  For maximum nutritional benefits, drink your processed juice right away. 
FOR OPTIMUM JUICING
• Avoid excessive buildup of pulp on the underside of the cover. 
•  Remove rind of melons; because they are so thick, they water down drinks.
•  Refrigerate washed ripe fruits and vegetables until ready to use. 
USES FOR THE PULP
The pulp from the fruits and vegetables is high in nutritional value. Use it to add 
fiber and flavor to muffins and quick breads. Use it to thicken soups, casseroles 
and sauces. Use fruit pulp to add nutrition and flavor to desserts, such as, 
puddings and cakes. Be sure to use it the same day you extract the juice.
Pulp is also food for your garden. You can use it as compost.
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 the appliance following the instructions for disassembly.
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. See USES FOR THE PULP.
2. Using a sponge or damp cloth, clean the base, feet and underside of the 
appliance. If necessary, you may use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice 
from the inside the motor 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 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, twist to unlock and remove the small food pusher 
from the large food pusher. Clean with other removable parts; once parts are 
dry, put back together.
5.  To clean the feed chute, remove the feed chute hatch release cover and use the 
cleaning brush to remove any small particles of food stuck on the feed chute 
hatch mechanism.
6.  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 under a 
running faucet while brushing the mesh filter screen from both the inside and 
outside of the filter mesh with the cleaning brush.
Important: The cutting blades at the bottom of the filter are extremely sharp! 
Always hold and carry the filter by the rim.
REMOVING TOUGH STAINS
1. Due to powerful staining properties 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.
STORAGE
Store your appliance 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.
