natural bristle brush. If you are not using
organic produce, we recommend using
a biodegradable cleaner to help remove
pesticide residue.

(including pineapple and melons) except
lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit, and
tangerines. The oil found in these skins is
bitter tasting and difcult to digest.
• Removemelonseedswhenpossible.
The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears,
and peaches should also be removed.

to gently direct produce through the tube.
NEVER PUSH PRODUCE INTO THE FEED
TUBE WITH YOUR FINGERS.

(carrots, beets, pineapple, etc.) into smaller
pieces to facilitate juicing.
• Leafygreens,parsley,wheatgrass,andsprouts
should be bunched into a small, tight ball
and pushed through the hopper with the
food pusher.
NOTE: FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS when juicing,
alternate between leafy, harder, and softer produce.

juice cannot be obtained from them and
residue left in the machine can clog the
stainless steel juice strainer.

peaches are not suitable for juicing; residue
left in the machine can clog the stainless
steel juice strainer. However, when frozen,
the pulp spout will eject a creamy, fresh fruit
sorbet that can be enjoyed in moments!
