The Elite Gourmet 2 Cup Capacity Citrus Juicer, model ETS-411, is a compact and user-friendly appliance designed for extracting juice from citrus fruits. Its primary function is to provide fresh citrus juice for household use.

Function Description:

The citrus juicer operates by pressing cut citrus fruit halves onto a reamer cone, which rotates to extract the juice. The extracted juice then flows through a strainer into a juice container, separating the pulp and seeds from the liquid. The appliance is activated by applying downward pressure on the reamer cone and stops when the pressure is released. This simple operation makes it easy for users to obtain fresh juice quickly.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific power ratings (voltage, wattage) are not explicitly detailed in the provided manual, the device is designed for household use and features a polarized plug, indicating it operates on standard household electrical outlets. The juice container has a 2-cup capacity, suitable for preparing small to medium quantities of juice. The design includes a juicer base, a juice container, a spindle cap, a strainer, and a reamer cone.

Usage Features:

Simple Assembly: The juicer consists of easily identifiable parts that fit together intuitively: the juicer base, juice container, spindle cap, strainer, and reamer cone.
Easy Operation: To use, place the juicer base on a stable surface, then stack the juice container, spindle cap, strainer, and reamer cone. Cut citrus fruits (like oranges, lemons, or limes) in half across their sections. Place a fruit half over the reamer cone and gently push down to activate the juicer and begin extraction. Release pressure to stop the unit.
Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes several safety guidelines. Users are cautioned to use extreme care when pressing down on the extractor cone to prevent personal injury. It is crucial not to operate the appliance without the juice container in place. Excessive force should be avoided when pressing the fruit to prevent blocking and damaging the motor. The juicer base and electrical cord must never be immersed in water or any other liquids.
Intermittent Operation: To prevent overheating, the appliance should be operated for 15 seconds, followed by a 15-second stop. After 10 consecutive cycles, a cooling period of 10-15 minutes is recommended.
Short Cord Purpose: The appliance is equipped with a short power cord to reduce the risk of entanglement or tripping. If a longer power-supply cord or extension cord is used, it must have an electrical rating at least as great as the product's, and it should be arranged to prevent it from draping over surfaces where it could be pulled or tripped over.
Polarized Plug: If the appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other), it is designed to fit into a polarized outlet only one way, reducing the risk of electrical shock. Users are advised not to alter the plug or defeat its safety purpose.

Maintenance Features:

Easy Disassembly for Cleaning: After use, the reamer cone and strainer can be easily lifted off the spindle cap, and the juice container can be removed from the base.
Dishwasher Safe Parts: All removable parts, including the reamer cone, strainer, spindle cap, and juice container, are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand with soap and warm water.
Base Cleaning: The juicer base, which houses the electrical components, should never be submerged in water or any other liquid. It can be cleaned by wiping its exterior with a damp cloth.
No Abrasive Cleaners: To prevent damage to the product, users should avoid using abrasive cleaners or materials on any parts.
Thorough Drying: All parts should be thoroughly dried before storing or reusing the appliance.
Storage: The unit should be unplugged and allowed to cool completely before cleaning and storage. It is recommended not to store any materials other than the manufacturer's recommended accessories in the unit when not in use.

The Elite Gourmet Citrus Juicer is designed for convenience and safety, making it a practical addition to any kitchen for those who enjoy fresh citrus juice.
