    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
    No user-serviceable parts are inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
    Maximum rating of 1000 watts is based on the food chopper attachment that draws the greatest power. Other recommended attachments may draw less power.
    A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED WITH CARE: HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE JUICE EXTRACTOR.
    The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

Foam Management System
If you prefer less foam in your juice, use the foam management filter disk and adjust the spout to a smaller opening. If you prefer more foam, do not use the disk and adjust the spout to a larger opening.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure your juice extractor is properly assembled. (See Assembly Instructions.)
2. Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet.
3. Make sure that the spout is in the open position. NEVER JUICE WITH THE SPOUT IN THE CLOSED POSITION.
4. Wash all selected fruits or vegetables.
5. While most fruits such as apples, pears, carrots, etc. will not need cutting, any fruit or vegetable with a diameter larger than 3 inches will need to be cut.
6. Set the dial to the desired speed. The blue LED light ring on the control dial will start to blink.
7. Press the button in the center of the control dial to start the juice extractor. The LED light ring will stop blinking and stay on.

10. When finished juicing, press the On/Off button to stop the motor. Turn the control dial to “0” to shut off the juice extractor.
11. Before removing the juice pitcher from under the spout, turn the spout to the closed position. This will prevent juice from dripping on the counter.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not immerse the motor housing in water or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel. Use any liquid dishwashing detergent, but do not use any products containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.
For easy cleaning, always clean immediately after each use. Vegetables and fruits will harden if left to dry on the unit parts, making it harder to clean.

1. Unplug juicer.
   WARNING: Be careful when handling the filter basket during cleaning, as the blades at the bottomare very sharp. For best juicing results, always thoroughly clean the filter basket with the nylon brush provided. (See image.)
   
2. Take juice extractor apart, following Disassembly Instructions (page 4). First, rinse with cold water. Then wash the pulp container, juice pitcher, pusher, lid and rotating filter basket in hot, sudsy water, or place in top rack of dishwasher. Do not use a metal brush or pad.
3. Towel-dry all parts.
4. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

TIPS AND HINTS

• Extracted juice from fresh fruits and vegetables contains 95% of their nutrients. Drinking extracted juices is the fastest way to digest fruits and vegetables so that your body can absorb all of those nutrients. As opposed to eating the whole fruit, which can take about 1 hour to digest, extracted juices take only 15 minutes.
• Fresh juices are excellent for aiding in cleanses (ridding the body of toxins) and in weight management.
• Always use fresh, organic and seasonal produce. Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertilizers and chemicals, which is very important when juicing whole foods. When buying foods in season, they are considerably less expensive than purchasing off season, and the flavors are much better.
• Wash all vegetables immediately after purchasing and store them in the refrigerator. This way they are ready to juice at any time.
• Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables soon after purchasing. The longer produce is held, the more nutrients it loses.
• Always wash vegetables and fruit before juicing.
• Fresh juices should be consumed immediately. They lose nutrients as they sit.
• Certain fruits should be peeled first before juicing. Examples of such fruits are pineapples, melons, mangos, papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin that you cannot eat. Also remove all pits and hard seeds from fruit such as peaches, cherries, mangos, etc.
• Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, plus it is more nutrient rich than citrus juice that is manually pressed.
• If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before you juice them.
• When juicing, softer ingredients should be juiced before the harder ones. As a rule, softer ingredients should be juiced at the low speed, while harder ingredients are juiced on higher speeds (refer to Juicing Chart, page 7).
• When juicing herbs or leafy greens, juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients in order to extract the greatest amount of juice.
• Use your taste to guide you on fruit and vegetable combinations for juices. The recipes provided are a guideline, but the possibilities are endless. Experiment to see what your favorite combinations are.
• Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable juices, and apples do the same for fruit juices.
• Beets and carrots both have naturally high sugar content, so when added to vegetable juices they balance out any bitter flavors juiced vegetables may have.
• Use your juice extractor in tandem with your blender. Blend fresh juices with ingredients like bananas, yogurt, and protein powders for delicious power smoothies.
• It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher version of your favorite cocktail with fresh juices.
• Blend fruit juices with sparkling water or seltzer to make a natural soda.
• The pulp that is separated from the juice has its own health benefits. It is high in fiber and can be used in a variety of ways. See our recipes as guides on how you can incorporate the fibrous pulp into your diet.

WARRANTY Limited Three-Year Warranty

This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Juice Extractor that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your Cuisinart® Juice Extractor will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase.
We recommend that you visit our website,
www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration.

In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart® products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If neither of the above two options results in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility, if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty. California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 800-726-0190.
