a. Making Juices
1. Assemble your Greenstar Elite with the Fine Screen or Coarse Screen and the Juicing Knob.
2. Place the Drip Tray on the counter underneath the Juice Outlet and put the Juice Pitcher on
top of the Drip Tray.
3. Position a large bowl or plastic bag under the Pulp Outlet to catch the ejected pulp.
4. Prepare your vegetables and fruits for juicing and juice them according to the following instructions:
• Note: it is normal for a few drops of juice to come out of the pulp outlet when first starting juicing.
As you continue juicing, only pulp will come out of the pulp outlet.

Preparation: Wash all produce and cut into long, thin pieces that
can be easily pushed through the feeding chute. Large carrots
should be split in half lengthwise.
Juicing Knob: Tighten the juicing knob completely.
Juicing Procedure: Feed the 'wedge' end of the root through the
feeding chute first, and press down on the blunt end of the root with
the plastic or wooden plunger. Only insert one piece at a time.
Remember: The Twin Gears are not blades - you will need to firmly
push carrots into the slowly rotating gears. Cut thicker carrots into
lengthwise halves for easier juicing. The Plastic Plunger does not
reach all the way to the gears - try using the Wooden Plunger to
push that last bit of carrot for complete juicing.
Preparation: Cut the grasses to the desired length and rinse them.
Juicing Knob: To begin, tighten the knob completely. Loosen or
remove the knob after the first drops of juice come out of the juice
outlet.
Juicing Procedure: Insert small handfuls of grass, blade tips first
into the feeding chute. Press down with the wooden or plastic plunger
if necessary.
Remember: Wheatgrass contains a chemical that naturally foams
when it is juiced. Do not be alarmed if foam comes out from the
juice outlet. To minimize foam: Always juice fresh wheatgrass;
refrigerate the gears and wheatgrass for about 2 hours or overnight
before juicing; and spray some cold water on the wheatgrass as you
are juicing. If you do not mind wheatgrass juice mixed with carrot
juice, you will get maximum yield on the wheatgrass juice with
minimum foam by alternating wheat grass and carrots while juicing.
Note: Certain batches of wheatgrass may cause more foam than others!
If you notice that your wheatgrass is generating excess foam, try
finding a new source for your wheatgrass.
