IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put the cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquids.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. The appliance has a moving blade that may cause serious personal injury. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
5. Turn the appliance OFF (O), then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
6. Avoid contacting moving parts. Do not attempt to defeat any safety interlock mechanisms.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or is damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer at their customer service telephone number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
11. Do not let the cord contact any hot surface, including the stove.
12. Always make sure the mini juicer cover is clamped securely in place before the mini juicer is turned on. Do not unfasten the locking clamp while the mini juicer is in operation.
13. Turn the power switch to OFF (O) and unplug from the electrical outlet after each use of your mini juicer. Make sure the motor is completely stopped before disassembling.
14. Do not put your fingers or other objects into the mini juicer opening while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the feed tube, use the food pusher or another piece of fruit or vegetable to push it down. When this method is not possible, turn the power switch to OFF (O), unplug the mini juicer from the electrical outlet, and disassemble the mini juicer to remove remaining food.
15. Do not use the appliance if the rotating juicing blades and basket are damaged.
16. Use care when handling the stainless-steel blade basket. Hold the basket’s rim only. Do not touch the cutter blades on the bottom of the basket. The cutter blades are very sharp!
17. Do not operate without the pulp container in place.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MINI JUICER

Product may vary slightly from illustrations.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

The mini juicer comes almost completely assembled in the box.

1. Your juicer may be shipped with a protective cardboard insert between the clear cover and the blade basket. Remove this and any other protective packaging before using your mini juicer.
2. Following the disassembly instructions, remove the food pusher from the feed tube, then the cover, juice bowl with stainless steel blade basket.
3. Wash all removable parts (food pusher, clear cover, juice bowl, pulp basket, and juice pitcher) in warm water with a biodegradable, non-abrasive liquid detergent. Rinse well and air-dry. This will eliminate any traces of dust or residue from manufacturing or shipping.

CAUTION: Use care when handling the blade basket. Hold the basket’s rim only. Do not touch the cutter blades on the bottom of the basket. The cutter blades are very sharp!

CAUTION: Never rinse or immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Always make sure the mini juicer is unplugged before starting assembly.

IMPORTANT: The mini juicer is equipped with a safety system that prevents the juicer from being turned on unless the unit is completely and properly assembled.

1. Open the safety locking bars so that they sit at both sides of the base (see figure 2).
2. Place the juice pitcher under the juice bowl and place both so that the juice bowl sits on top of the motor base (see figure 3). IMPORTANT: To avoid spillage, make sure the pulp basket sits flush up against the base. NOTE: To save cleaning time, line the pulp basket with a plastic grocery store produce bag.
3. Add the blade basket on top of the juice bowl and push down lightly. Position the clear cover on top of the juice bowl (see figures 4 and 5). CAUTION: Use care when handling the stainless steel blade basket. Hold the basket’s rim only. Do not touch the cutter blades on the bottom of the basket. The cutter blades are very sharp!
4. Lift the safety locking bars up and over the lid, push them down into place, locking the unit. Make sure the lid is clamped securely into place (see figure 6).
5. Add a food pusher inside the feed tube (see figure 7).
6. Place the juice pitcher under the spout (see figure 8).

PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR YOUR MINI JUICER

• Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush. If you are not using organic produce, we recommend using a biodegradable cleaner to help remove pesticide residue.
• Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any waxed fruit or vegetable.
• Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
• The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter and is difficult to digest.
• Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top of the feed tube while juicing. The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears, and peaches should also be removed.
• Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the feed tube. Use the food pusher to gently direct produce through the tube. NEVER PUSH PRODUCE INTO THE FEED TUBE WITH YOUR FINGERS.
• It may be necessary to cut hard produce (carrots, beets, pineapple, etc.) into smaller pieces to facilitate juicing.
• Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into a small, tight ball and pushed through with either a carrot or the food pusher.
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them, and residue left in the machine can clog the micro-mesh screen.
• For best results when juicing apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes, produce should be firm.
• When juicing apples, add a small amount of fresh lemon or lime to help slow down the browning process.
• Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs, and mangoes, are not suitable for the mini juicer. Use a food processor, blender, or bar blender to process these fruits.
• The mini juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous or starchy fruits or vegetables such as sugar cane.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Your mini juicer offers 1 speed option. Plug the unit in, turn the switch ON (I) to activate it. Turn the switch OFF (O) before unplugging the unit. IMPORTANT: The mini juicer is equipped with a safety system that prevents the extractor from being turned on unless the unit is completely and properly assembled.

1. Assemble the mini juicer following the assembly instructions described in this manual.
2. Have all fruits and vegetables prepared for juicing.
3. Plug the unit into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
4. Remove the food pusher from the feed tube.
5. Place produce into the feed tube. Use the food pusher to gently direct produce through the feed tube and blade basket.
6. Turn the switch ON (I). TIP: To ensure maximum efficiency, alternate types of produce.
7. When juicing is completed, turn the switch OFF (O).
8. Slide the pitcher out from the juice spout. Serve juice immediately for the freshest flavor and highest nutritional value.
9. Remove the pulp basket and save or discard pulp. NOTE: The pulp from your mini juicer can be used in many different applications, such as breads, muffins, cakes, soup stocks, compressed facial packs, and garden compost material.
10. Unplug the mini juicer from the outlet after use.
11. Follow the disassembly instructions described in this manual; all removable parts should be rinsed and cleaned after each use. Clean the mini juicer following the procedures described in the care and cleaning instructions.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Always make sure the mini juicer is unplugged before starting disassembly.

1. Remove the pulp basket and juice pitcher.
2. Lift the safety locking bars up and off the two clamp locking slots on the housing. Rest the locking bars at both sides of the unit.
3. Lift the mini juicer lid up and off the mini juicer.
4. Grasping the pulp spout in one hand and the back of the juice bowl in the other, loosen and lift the juice bowl and blade basket off as one piece. These two parts will then easily separate for easy cleaning. CAUTION: Use care when handling the blade basket. Hold the basket’s rim only. Do not touch the cutter blades on the bottom of the basket. The cutter blades are very sharp!
5. Please follow the procedures outlined in the care and cleaning instructions for specific cleaning instructions.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing that requires disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

• Unplug from the outlet. Please follow the procedures outlined in the disassembly instructions to remove parts before cleaning.
• Clean the unit and parts after each use.
• Do not immerse the motor base 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 products containing ammonia or scouring powders. These products will dull, scratch, or mar the surface.
• If any juice has spilled under the mini juicer, clean the legs and area with a lightly soaped sponge, then dry. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice from inside the motor hub on top of the motor base.
• All parts (except the blade basket and motor base) are washable in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
• When cleaning the blade basket, make sure the tiny holes in the basket are not clogged. This can be accomplished by holding the blade basket under a running water faucet. Rub a plastic scrub pad in a circular motion to clean the basket holes from both inside and outside of the blade basket. CAUTION: Use care when handling the blade basket. Hold the basket’s rim only. Do not touch the cutter blades on the bottom of the basket. The cutter blades are very sharp! NOTE: If necessary, allow the blade basket to soak in hot water with 10% lemon juice added.
• The mini juicer clear cover, juice bowl, pulp basket, juice pitcher, and juice pitcher lid may be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher. However, washing with warm (not hot) tap water daily should be sufficient.
• Due to the powerful staining properties of the carotenoids that are found in many vegetables, especially carrots, we suggest soaking stained parts overnight in any of these four cleaning solutions:
• Biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover the mini juicer parts
• One part warm water to one part cider vinegar
• One-half small box of baking soda in enough warm water to cover parts
• Warm water with the 10% lemon juice solution. CAUTION: Never use ammonia or abrasives.
• Lightly clean with a sponge or kitchen rag and liquid detergent after soaking. WARNING: Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquid!

STORING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unplug the unit; assemble clean, dry parts before storing.
2. Store the mini juicer in its box in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot or still plugged in.
3. Store the food pusher in the feed tube of the lid.
4. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on the cord where it enters the unit; while holding the cord perpendicular to the unit, push inwards slowly to store it inside the base of the unit.
