It is okay to pour water through the chutes to moisten the basket, but very
carefully. This can be helpful only if the juicer is not going to be used for a while, as to
prevent leftover fruit or vegetables from drying on the basket.
Having a second complete basket on hand is very helpful to reduce downtime
while cleaning the original basket. When possible, soak the fruits and vegetables
(especially harder ones such as carrots) before juicing them, so that it eases the
process and guarantees more yield. When juicing leafy greens, try to juice a small
bunch together instead of processing them separately. Juicing a carrot after “sticky
fruits” (such as an apple) usually helps to self-clean the basket.
How often do I need to clean my juicer? The pulp container has a capacity of 8+
quarts. Generally, we suggest cleaning the juicing basket after about 40 lbs. of
fruits/vegetables for ES700. Most importantly, do not to let traces of fruit or vegetables
dry and harden on the pulp container, basket, juicer cover or food pusher. This could
create noise and reduce juice yield. It will vary based upon what types of recipes you
are juicing. Soft fruits and vegetables will need to be cleaned out more frequently.
