2. Place the filter basket on top of the motor base (Figure 1).
3. Place the stainless steel filter on top of the filter basket pushing down and turning it until it fits into the grooves of the motor shaft (Figure 2).
4. Place the juicer cover/lid on top of the filter basket (Figure 3).
5. Raise the stainless steel locking arm and place it on the grooves on the sides of the lid. Your juice extractor is equipped with a safety feature that will ensure the unit will not operate unless the lid is properly locked. (Figure 4).
6. Place the pulp container into position by tilting it slightly (Figure 5). Push the pulp container forward until it snaps into place.
   IMPORTANT: Make sure the Pulp Container edge is underneath the basket.
7. Place the 1.25-liter jar under the spout located on the right-hand side of the juicer by tilting it slightly. Other jars or glasses can be used as well(Figure 6).

USING THE JUICE EXTRACTOR

Prepare your fruits and vegetables by washing them thoroughly and peeling off any skin that needs removing.

NOTE: Your juice extractor is equipped with an extra-wide food chute that is designed to allow most whole fruits and vegetables to fit inside the chute. Fruits and vegetables larger than the food chute will need to be cut into smaller pieces to ensure they will fit in the chute.

1. Make sure your juice extractor is properly assembled. Please follow the instructions from the section “Before Using Your Appliance.”
2. Ensure the juice extractor and its accessories are clean by following the cleaning and maintenance section of this manual.
3. Place the jar or any other container/glass you may wish to use to collect the juice under the spout and make sure the pulp collector is in place prior to begin juicing. Do not allow the pulp collector container to overfill as this may cause the unit to stall.
4. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and select your desired speed. Use “I” for soft foods or “II” for tougher foods.
5. Once the juicer is on, place the fruits and vegetables on the food chute and use the food pusher slowly to drive them down. Place the food pusher in the food chute, making sure the tab “ ” in the food pusher aligns with the juicing indicator icon “ ” (Figures 1 and 2). In order to extract the maximum amount of juice, it is important to push the food pusher slowly.
6. The juice extractor will separate the pulp from the juice. The juice will collect in the jar, and the pulp will collect in the pulp collector while you are juicing.
   NOTE: Both the pulp container as well as the jar can be emptied during juicing by turning the juice extractor off “O”. Make sure to place both containers back in place before you resume juicing.
7. When you are done, turn off the unit and turn around the adjustable rubber sleeve to prevent dripping.

• CAUTION: NEVER USE HAND OR FINGERS TO PUSH FOOD DOWN THE FOOD CHUTE OR TO CLEAR THE FOOD CHUTE. ALWAYS USE THE FOOD PUSHER PROVIDED.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Unplug from the outlet before disassembling and cleaning.
2. After disassembling all removable parts of the juice extractor, wash them by hand with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher (top shelf only). If the pulp dries out in the pulp collector container, the filter, or the filter basket, let it soak in water for approximately 10 min before washing it.
3. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.
4. It is very important to keep the filter very clean, free of residue blocking the holes in order to ensure optimal performance. Wash it thoroughly with warm soapy water. If the holes in the mesh remain blocked, soak the filter in hot water with a water solution with 10% lemon juice.

• CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
• CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE PARTS ARE NOT DAMAGED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THEM BACK TOGETHER.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury before and after juicing, always visually examine the stainless steel filter for any damage or dents in the metal surface. If present, replace the stainless steel filter and dispose of any juice that was made.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your Oster® appliance has been carefully designed to give you many years of trouble free service. In the unlikely event that your new appliance does not operate properly, please review the following potential problems and try the steps recommended BEFORE you call or take it to an Authorized Oster® Service Center.

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
Juice Extractor will not work after switching on “I” or “II”.	•       Stainless steel locking arm may not be locked properly in its position. •       Turn off and unplug unit and ensure all parts are assembled properly. •       Turn off and unplug unit and check if there is any residue blocking the unit.
Motor makes loud noise and unit starts vibrating.	•       Turn off and unplug unit and ensure all parts are assembled properly. •       Juicing overripe fruits may produce too much pulp and clog the filter. Turn off and unplug unit and clean the filter thoroughly.
Motor appears to stall when juicing.	•       If pulp starts building up under the lid, slow down the juicing process. Turn off and unplug unit and clean the filter basket, the stainless steel filter and the lid.
Too much pulp build up.	•       Follow the instructions to disassemble the unit included in the “After Using Your Juice Extractor” section. Clean up pulp from the filter.
Pulp too wet and reduced juice extraction.	•       Try a slower juicing action. Remove stainless steel mesh filter and thoroughly clean mesh with a nylon brush. Rinse the filter basket with hot water. If the fine mesh holes are blocked, soak the basket in a solution of hot water with 10% lemon juice to unblock the holes or wash in the dishwasher. This will remove excess fiber build up (from fruit or vegetables), which could be reducing the flow of juice.
Juice leaks between the rim of the Juicer and Juice Extractor Cover.	•       Try a slower juicing action by pushing the Food Pusher down slower.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

• Do not place any fruits or vegetables inside juicer until you turn the unit on. Allow unit to run for at least 10 s before you start juicing.
• Do not allow the pulp container to overfill as this may prevent correct operation or damage the unit.
• Be sure to remove large pits from fruits such as peach, mango, etc. asthey can damage the unit.
• You can use a plastic bag inside the pulp collector container to avoidhaving to clean it.
• Do not use bananas or avocados as they do not contain juice and will clog the unit. You can use a blender to add them to the juice.
• You can use the pulp of the juices you prepare in a variety of ways. The pulp from fruits and vegetables contains high amounts of fiber and cellulose, which are essential for a healthy and well balanced diet. You can use the pulp to thicken soups and casseroles, or to enhance your desserts.  Make sure to use the pulp the same day you juice to avoid loss of vitamins.
