1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put cord, plugs, or
appliance in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner.
Contact Consumer Service for examination, repair or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by

BEFORE FIRST USE
The Juiceman® Jr. comes almost completely assembled in the box. We suggest
taking it apart and washing the removable parts in warm water with a biodegrad-
able, non-abrasive liquid detergent before the first use. This will eliminate any
traces of dust or residue from manufacturing or shipping.
NOTE: Your Juicer may be shipped with a protective cardboard insert between the
Feed Tube and Cutter Blade (on the Blade Basket). Remove this and any other
protective packaging before using your Juicer.
CAUTION: Never rinse or immerse the Motor Base in water or any
other liquid.
NOTE: Refer to the Fresh Juice Recipes & Menu Planner for juice recipes, pulp
recipes, sample menus, and tips on buying, cleaning and storing.
• Make sure the Blade Basket is securely seated and the Pulp Basket is at the
rear of the Juicer, ready to catch pulp. To save cleaning time, line the Pulp
Basket with a plastic produce bag (the kind you put your produce in at the
grocery store).
• Place a glass underneath the Juice Spout.
• Read assembly and disassembly directions. Make sure the Juicer is properly and
completely assembled. The Juicer will not turn on unless properly assembled.
PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR YOUR JUICER
• Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush. If you are not using
organic produce, we recommend using a biodegradable cleaner to help remove
pesticide residue.
• Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any
waxed fruit or vegetable.
• Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
• The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except
oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter and
is difficult to digest.
• Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top of the
Feed Tube while juicing. The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears, and peaches
should also be removed.
• Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the Feed Tube. Use the Food
Pusher to gently direct produce through the Tube. NEVER PUSH PRODUCE
INTO THE FEED TUBE WITH YOUR FINGERS.
• Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into a small,
tight ball and pushed through with either a carrot or the Food Pusher.
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them
and residue left in the machine can clog the micro-mesh screen. Produce such as
apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes should be firm for best results
when juicing.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS MAKE SURE JUICER IS UNPLUGGED
BEFORE STARTING DISASSEMBLY.
Step One
Remove the Clamps by bracing each
thumb on the top or middle of each
Clamp. Use one or two fingers to pull
out the bottom of each Clamp. Let the
Clamps hang from the sides by the
lower hinges.
Step Two
Lift Juicer Cover up and off the Juicer.
Step Three
Lift off the Juice Bowl and Blade
Basket as one piece. These two pieces
will then easily come apart for easy
cleaning. Please follow the procedures
outlined in the CLEANING YOUR
JUICER section of this Instruction
Manual for specific cleaning
instructions.
CAUTION: Handle Blade Basket
with care due to sharp points.
7
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS MAKE SURE JUICER IS UNPLUGGED
BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY.
Step One
Place Juice Bowl on top of the Motor Base.
The Juice Spout fits over the front of the
Juicer. Two tabs located on the underside of
the Juice Bowl should rest in the two
complimentary slots on top of the Motor Base.
The tabs and slots are located by each Clamp.
See illustration.
Step Two
Set the Blade Basket on the Motor Hub in the
center of the Juice Bowl, and press down on the
outer rim until it feels snug.
Step Three
Gently rotate the Blade Basket to ensure that it
turns freely. If initially it failed to seat, this
should slip it into place. Double check by
pressing down and spinning it again.

CLEANING YOUR JUICER
• Unplug from outlet before assembling or removing parts and before
cleaning.
Do not immerse the Motor Base 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. These products will dull, scratch or
mar the plastic surface.
• All parts (except the Motor Base) are washable in warm, soapy
water. Please follow the procedures outlined in the DISASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS section of this Instruction Manual. To clean the
Juicer Cover and Juice Bowl, we recommend using a fruit and vege-
table brush with natural fibers.
DO NOT USE A METAL BRUSH OR PAD.
• When cleaning the Blade Basket, use the brush to make sure the
tiny holes in the Basket are not clogged. This can be accomplished
by holding the Blade Basket under a running faucet while brushing
the Basket holes from both inside and outside the Blade Basket.
• Occasionally, the Juice Bowl, Juicer Cover, and Blade Basket may
be washed in a dishwasher, only if they are placed on the top shelf
of the dishwasher. However, washing with ordinary warm (not hot)
tap water on a daily basis should be sufficient.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Sponge off the Motor Base and the legs underneath if any juice has
spilled under the Juicer. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean
juice from inside the Motor Hub on top of the Motor Base.
Juicer should be air-dried only!
Clean Your
Juicer
Thoroughly
Before Retiring
For The Day
Due to the powerful staining properties of the carotenoids that are
found in many vegetables, especially carrots, we suggest the following
cleaning procedures:
• Stained parts may be soaked overnight in any 1 of these 4
cleaning solutions:
(1) biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover Juicer parts
(2) 1/4 cup bleach to sink full of warm water
(3) 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
(4) 1/2 small box baking soda in enough warm water to cover parts.
• Never use ammonia or abrasives.
• Lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid detergent
after soaking.
• NEVER SUBMERGE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID!

CLEANING YOUR JUICER (Continued)
Any other
After cleaning and reassembly is complete, your new Juicer is
ready to go to work! Before starting, make sure the Blade
Basket is securely seated and the Pulp Basket is at the rear of
the Juicer to receive pulp. The pulp from your Juicer can be
used in many different applications such as breads, muffins,
cakes, soup stocks, compressed facial packs and garden compost
material. Refer to the Fresh Juice Recipes & Menu Planner for
juice recipes, pulp recipes, sample menus, and tips on buying,
cleaning and storing. Unplug unit and allow to cool.
Clean the Juicer following the procedures described in this
Instruction Manual.
