Consumer Safety Information
wCAUTION
Extra-wide feed chute. Do not place hands or foreign
objects down feed chute. Always use the food pusher.
CAUTION: This appliance is not intended
for use by children.
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,
only 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 juice extractor. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that
it will not drape over the countertop or table-
top where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
The electrical rating of this appliance is
listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
Before First Use
After unpacking the juice extractor, remove cardboard from filter basket and wash
everything except the base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately.
Never immerse the base in water or other liquids; wipe it with a damp sponge.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
NOTE: When juicing oranges, always peel before placing in the juicer.

electric shock do not
immerse the Motor
Base in water or any
other liquid.
NOTES:
• To assist with cleaning, soak the
Stainless Steel Filter Basket in hot,
soapy water for approximately 10
minutes immediately after juicing is
completed. If pulp is left to dry on the
filter it may clog the fine pores of the
filter mesh thereby lessening the

Troubleshooting
POSSIBLE PROBLEM
EASY SOLUTION
Machine will not work

engaged. Check to see if Safety Locking Arm
is properly positioned in the two grooves on
either side of the Juice Cover. Refer to pages
5 and 6, Steps 4 and 5.
Motor appears to stall

fruit varieties.
Pulp is too wet and
insufficient juice is
produced.
Try a slower juicing action. Turn OFF and
unplug. Remove Filter Basket and clean mesh
walls with a fine brush. This will remove excess
fiber build-up which could be inhibiting the
juice flow. Refer to pages 7 and 10.

Juicing Tips and Techniques
Purchasing and Storing Your
Fruits & Vegetables
• Always wash fruits and vegetables
before juicing.
• Most fruits and hardier type vegeta-
bles can be stored at cool room
temperature. The more delicate and
perishable items such as tomatoes,
berries, leafy greens, celery, cucum-
bers and herbs should be stored in
the refrigerator until required.
• Always use fresh fruits and vegetables
for juicing.
• To save money and obtain fresher
produce, purchase fruits or vegetables
that are in season.
• Keep your fruits and vegetables ready
for juicing by washing them before
storing.
Preparing Fruits & Vegetables
• If using fruits with hard or inedible
skins such as oranges, melons,
mangoes and kiwi fruit, always peel
Hint!
™
before placing in the Juicer.
Your Juice Fountain makes invigorating,
frothy orange juice. Simply peel the
oranges and juice. For best results,
refrigerate oranges before juicing.
• All fruits with pits and seeds or
stones such as nectarines, peaches,
apricots, plums and cherries MUST
be pitted before juicing.
The Right Technique
• When juicing a variety of different
ingredients of varying textures, best
results are gained by alternating
harder ingredients with softer ones.
For example, when juicing two hard
vegetables such as carrots and
parsnips and a softer type, such as
tomatoes, start with the parsnips, then
the tomato, finishing with the carrots.
Alternating between soft and hard
vegetables in this manner assists by
cleaning the stainless steel filter basket
between the vegetables. This enables
the Juicer to extract the maximum
amount of juice from each vegetable.
• If you are using herbs, sprouts or small
leafy greens it is a good idea to wrap
them in a large lettuce or spinach leaf
or place them through the Feed Chute
between pieces of firmer vegetable.
• All fruits and vegetables produce dif-
ferent amounts of liquids. This varies
within the same group, i.e. one batch
of tomatoes can produce more juice
than another batch. Since juice recipes
are not exact, and juicing is not a
science, the precise quantities of any
juice are not crucial to the success of
a particular drink recipe. Specific
amounts are important in other recipes,
such as baked goods or jellies.

The Right Blend
• It is not difficult to create great tasting • Experiment! Any fruit or vegetable
juice. If you have been making your
own vegetable and fruit juices, then
you know how simple it is to invent
new combinations. Taste, color,
texture and ingredients are all personal
preferences. Just think of some of
your favorite flavors and foods;
would they work well together or
would they clash? Some strong
flavors could overpower the more
subtle flavors of others. It is, however,
a good rule of thumb to combine
starchy, pulpy ingredients with those
high in moisture.
that you enjoy can go into your next
drink. You may choose to use one
fruit to give a predominant flavor and
accent it with a hint of another flavor.
The choices are limited only by your
imagination.
Using The Pulp
• The remaining pulp left after juicing
fruits or vegetables is mostly fiber
and cellulose which, like the juice,
contains vital nutrients necessary for
the daily diet and can be used in
many ways. However, like the juice,
pulp should be used that day to
avoid loss of vitamins.
• There are a number of recipes that
use pulp. You can also use pulp to
thicken casseroles or soups.
• Pulp is great used in the garden
for compost.
