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:
• 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
o Papaya
Note: The oil in the skin of these fruits tastes bitter and is difficult to digest.
When removing skin from citrus fruits, remove the white pith, as well, to keep
finished juices from tasting bitter.
Hint: Although the skin may be left on melons, 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 Mangoes
o Peaches
o Plums
o Melons
o Papaya
• 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 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, a clean measuring cup or a glass under the spout.
3. Be sure the pulp container is in place.
