Discoloration of the plastic may occur with some fruit and vegetables.
To help prevent this, wash all parts immediately after use.
⚠
CAUTION
Laceration Hazard.
The center of the strainer basket contains small, sharp blades to
process fruits and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not
touch blades when handling the strainer basket.
Always treat the strainer basket with care; it can be damaged easily.
To assist with cleaning, soak the strainer basket in hot, soapy water for
approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed.
If pulp is left to dry on the basket it may clog the fine pores of the filter
mesh, thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juice extractor.

Juicing Tips, Techniques, and Recipes
PURCHASING AND STORING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:
• Always wash fruits and vegetables before juicing.
• 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.
• Most fruits and hardier-type vegetables can be stored at cool
room temperature. More delicate and perishable items such as
berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers, and herbs should be
stored in the refrigerator until required.
PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:
• It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges,
melons, or mangoes are peeled before placing in juice extractor
for best juice flavor.
• All fruits with pits and large seeds such as nectarines, peaches,
apricots, plums, and cherries MUST be pitted before juicing.
USING THE PULP:
• The remaining pulp left after juicing fruits or vegetables is mostly
fiber and cellulose which, like the juice, contain vital nutrients
necessary for the daily diet and can be used in many ways. Pulp
can be frozen for later use.
• 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.
SOY MILK, ALMOND MILK, AND RICE MILK:
This juice extractor may be used to make soy milk, almond milk,
and rice milk. Follow these steps:
1. Soak 1 cup (237 ml) of soybeans, almonds, or rice in 4 cups
(946 ml) of water for 8 to 12 hours covered in the refrigerator.
2. Drain nuts and discard water. Cover nuts, beans, or rice with
1 1/2 cups (355 ml) fresh water.
3. Slowly ladle the nuts, beans, or rice with the water into the food
chute.
4. Place cheesecloth in a container. Pour mixture into a tight woven
cheesecloth and let stand until completely drained. Squeeze
cheesecloth, if necessary. Refrigerate milk immediately.
NOTES:
• Almonds must be soaked 8 to 12 hours before juicing.
• Soy milk should be boiled to improve the flavor.
• Vanilla, honey, and sugar may be added to enhance the flavor of
each milk type.
