4. To clean the food pusher, twist to unlock and remove the small food pusher
from the large food pusher. Clean with other removable parts; once parts are
dry, put back together.
5. To clean the feed chute, remove the feed chute hatch release cover and use the
cleaning brush to remove any small particles of food stuck on the feed chute
hatch mechanism.
6. To clean the filter, use cleaning brush provided to make sure tiny holes in
mesh filter are not clogged. This can be accomplished by holding filter under a
running faucet while brushing the mesh filter screen from both the inside and
outside of the filter mesh with the cleaning brush.
Important: The cutting blades at the bottom of the filter are extremely sharp!
Always hold and carry the filter by the rim.
REMOVING TOUGH STAINS
1. Due to powerful staining properties found in many vegetables, particularly
carrots, we suggest soaking any stained parts overnight in one of the following
solutions:
• Biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover juice extractor parts
• ¼ cup bleach added to a sink full of warm water
• 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
• ½ small box of baking soda in enough warm water to cover juicer parts
Important: Never use ammonia or abrasive cleansers!
2. After soaking overnight, lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid
detergent.
STORAGE
Store your appliance in a clean, dry place. Never wrap cord tightly around the
appliance. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters juicer, as this could
cause cord to fray and break.
