• If juicer jams, turn power switch off immediately and remove AC cord from
electrical outlet, disassemble, and clean.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Be sure to turn switch to OFF position after each use of your juicer.
Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
• Do not use the appliance if the rotating filter is damaged.
* This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
or force the plug in any way.
• Do not operate without the pulp container in place.
SAFETY FEATURES
The Power Juicer was made with safety in mind. We have added two
important safety features: the Automatic Shut Off and the Locking Bar.
Built-In Thermal Cut Off Switch
/Automatic Shut Off
Unlike other juicers, the Power Juicer is equipped with a special feature that
automatically shuts off the motor should the unit become jammed or overheated
by food during the juicing process. Prior to shut down, you will most likely hear
the juicer get louder. This will indicate that something has caused the motor
to strain. Should this happen, simply turn the power switch off and unplug the
unit… follow the Disassembly, Cleaning and Assembly process, then allow the
unit to cool for 10 minutes. The unit will restart and you may resume the juicing
process. There are some additional reasons that could cause a “shut down”.
You can find them in the trouble shooting section of your operating manual
on page18.
The Locking Bar
The Locking Bar holds the juicer Lid/Pulp Guard in place and is connected
to an auto shut-off switch. If the Locking Bar is not in its full upright and
locked position, the juicer will not start. This is to prevent accidental contact
with the spinning blade. If the machine is not locked, the motor will not
engage and the blade will not spin.
