Screens ----- Which Screen Do You Use?
Using the Plastic Plunger
The Plastic Plunger is specially designed to push food down the Feeding Chute without
the plunger touching the gears. To use the plastic plunger, make sure that the safety tray
is attached and press down with the plunger.
NEVER USE THE PLASTIC PLUNGER WITHOUT THE SAFETY TRAY ATTACHED.
Using the Wooden Plunger
Don’t be afraid of the wooden plunger touching the twin gears while juicing. Touching the
plunger to the twin gears will not harm the gears or the plunger. The plunger is made from
the same high quality wood as many fine chopping blocks, so any accidental particles of
cellulose scraped off by the Twin Gears are non-toxic and will pass harmlessly with the
pulp.
Using the Drip Tray
Position the drip tray with the narrow end underneath the pulp discharge outlet. Rest the
front two legs of the juicer on top of the corners of the wide end of the drip tray. Place the
juice pitcher on top of the drip tray to collect juice.
Juicing Wheatgrass (Also Barley Grass, Alfalfa & Others)

inch in diameter) tip down, into the Feeding Chute.

MACHINE SETUP
B
1. Fine Screen -
makes the clearest juice by separating the most
pulp from your juice. The pressure built up inside the machine may
push a minimal amount of pulp into the juice. Use to juice most
types of produce, including: carrot, parsley, kale, wheatgrass, other
green leafy vegetables and herbs, apples, and all other types of
produce.
2. Coarse Screen - allows some pulp to mix with the juice. Use
it any time you want more pulp to mix into your juice. (optional
for GS-1000)
3. Homogenizing Blank (Open Blank) - to puree, make
frozen desserts, baby foods, nut butters, apple sauce, pâté, relish,
etc. Use with: grains, garlic, banana, strawberry, nuts, etc. To use
the Homogenizing Blank, insert side “A” first with hole “B” facing
downwards, over the Twin Gears and into the Twin Gear Housing.
