8. Make sure the anti-drip spout is properly open (see figure 8).
9. Add the juice jug lid to the juice jug so that the lid's cut out fits
over the pitcher's pouring spout. Tilt the juice jug slightly so that
the extractor's juice spout fits into the top of the pitcher lid (see
figure 7). This will prevent juice spillage.
PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR YOUR 5 SPEED
DIGITAL JUICE EXTRACTOR
• 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.
• Juicing herbs and leafy greens will yield a lower juice level due to the nature of the vegetable
or greens. It is recommended to juice them in combination with other fruits and vegetables.
• 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 juice extractor. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to process these
fruits.
• The juice extractor is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy fruits
or vegetables such as sugar cane.
Important: Always juice hard fruits (see detailed chart below) in the higher speed settings
(settings 4 & 5). Failure to do so may result in a damaged motor and will cause the juicer to break.
