• The juicer will not run if the unit is not properly assembled. The motor has a built-in safety feature that will not allow the power to turn on unless the
Locking Bar is locked in place.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Be sure to turn switch to OFF position after each use of your juicer. Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
• Do not use the appliance if the rotating Filter is damaged.
* This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify or force the plug in any way.
SAFETY FEATURES
The Power Juicer was designed with safety in mind.
We have added two important safety features: the Automatic Shut Off and the Locking Bar.
Built-In Thermal Cut Off Switch/Automatic Shut Off
Unlike other juicers, the Power Juicer is equipped with a special feature that automatically shuts off the motor should the unit become jammed or overheated during the juicing process. Prior to shut down, you will most likely hear the juicer get louder. This will indicate that something has caused the motor to strain. Should this happen, simply turn the Power Switch off and unplug the unit… follow the
Disassembly, Cleaning and Assembly process, then allow the unit to cool for 10 minutes. The unit will restart and you may resume the juicing process. There are some additional reasons that could cause a “shut down”. You can find them in the trouble shooting section of your operating manual on page 19.
The Locking Bar
The Locking Bar holds the juicer Lid/Pulp Guard in place and is connected to an auto shut-off switch. If the Locking Bar is not in its full upright and locked position, the juicer will not start. This is to prevent accidental contact with the spinning Blade. If the machine is not locked, the motor will not engage and the
Blade will not spin.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO JUICING
In order to assure that your juicing experience will be a pleasant one, we have included this “Step-by-Step Guide to Juicing”. Juicing is a quick and satisfying way to get the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals from fresh fruits and vegetables… a few minutes well spent for a lifetime of good health benefits!
5 Simple Steps to Get Started
Before You Begin
While we manufacture and ship under the highest standards, we recommend you clean your Power Juicer before first use.
Step 1
Remove all packing materials including those found inside the machine between the Lid and the Blade.
NoTe: If you do not remove the paper Blade Protector from the inside of the machine before starting the motor, you will hear a loud noise and possibly cause the machine to temporarily shut down.
Step 2
Disassemble and wash before first use. Re-assemble making sure the Blade is secure and Locking Bar is locked into place. The motor will not turn on if machine is not assembled properly.
Note: See Assembly and Disassembly instructions on pages 6-10 in this operating Manual.
Step 3
Lower the Juice Spout into the downward position.
Step 4
Plug the AC cord into a 120 v wall outlet and turn on machine. Let the
juicer run for approximately 5–10 seconds
before produce is inserted into the chute.
This will balance the Blade. (During the manufacturing process, a few drops of motor lubricant may have dripped into the motor housing causing a burn off odor. This is normal and will dissipate with initial use.)
Step 5
Remove Pusher, insert produce then replace Pusher quickly. Do not force produce down the Chute. Apply a gentle pressure, this will help the Pusher process the produce.
IMPORTANT: If you apply too much pressure it can cause the motor to strain and possibly shut down. See Built-In Thermal Cut Off Switch/
Automatic Shut Off on page 4.
11
Helpful Tips
Clean Up
“Wash” all components before initial use. For fast and easiest cleanup, rinse components under warm water, or place in dishwasher immediately after juicing.
Pulp Collector:
For quicker and easier cleanup, you can insert a plastic bag inside pulp collector to discard after juicing or simply rinse out pulp collector or place in dishwasher.
Balancing The Blade, 5-10 Seconds is All it Takes
It is necessary to run the machine for approximately 5-10 seconds each time, before inserting any produce to be juiced. This lets the Blade balance itself before coming into contact with the item to be juiced. Hard produce such as carrots can cause the Blade to become unbalanced. If this should happen, continue to process until the Blade comes back to balance. If the Blade doesn’t re-balance, turn the power off and wait for the Blade to stop spinning. Disassemble the machine to check for any food that may be stuck on the Blade causing this unbalance.
IMPORTANT: One of the great features of the Power Juicer is its extra large
Chute, which speeds up the juicing process by cutting down on prep time.
Still you must be careful not to force anything into the opening that is too big and might result in jamming the Blade, causing the “Built-In Thermal
Cut Off Switch/ Automatic Shut Off” to engage and shut down the unit temporarily. Always put softer fruits and vegetables in first followed by the more firm ones. When inserting produce into the Chute, you must replace the Pusher quickly to prevent the produce from popping out of the Chute.
“Auto-Motor-Saver Shutdown” Feature
Unlike other juicers, the Power Juicer is equipped with a special feature that automatically shuts off the motor should the unit become jammed during the juicing process. Should this happen, simply follow the Disassembly, Cleaning, and Assembly process, then allow the unit to cool for 10 minutes. The unit will restart and you may resume the juicing process.
Gentle Pressure Using the Pusher
When juicing, applying gentle pressure with the Pusher is sufficient. Never apply excessive force to the Pusher as this may stop the Blade.
The Juice Spout
Make sure to lower the Juice Spout. The Juicer comes packed with the Spout in the upward (closed) position. If you forget to lower the Spout, juice will back up in the
Receptacle and will overflow from the sides. This back up could also cause the motor to seize. After juicing, lift the juice spout in the upward position to avoid messy dripping.

Helpful Tips
Noise and Vibration
Sometimes when you juice you’ll hear a bit more noise than the normal whisper quiet juicing you’ve come to expect from your Power Juicer. This noise may also be accompanied by a little extra vibrating. This is alright; it is just the juicer processing the food. Be patient and let the Power Juicer work.
The Benefits of Juicing
We are not suggesting you replace the recommended daily consumption of fruits and vegetables with juicing… they should be done in conjunction. Consuming whole fruits and vegetables daily helps you get the much needed fiber they have to offer.
Juicing is just a quicker way to get many of the health benefits you need from fresh food, including antioxidants and nutrients that help your body stay healthy. It just eliminates the digestion process for quicker absorption.
Get the Most From Your Power Juicer
Some varieties of produce are more difficult to juice than others. The chart on page 16-17 will help take the guess work out of juicing. The amount of juice you produce, depends on which fruits and vegetables you select. Produce such as oranges, apples, melons, and cucumbers tend to yield more juice and should be mixed with others that don’t.
General Guidelines for Juicing
Due to personal preferences and nutritional opinions, it is difficult to determine an individuals’ eating habits. Therefore, we recommend juicing produce the way you would normally consume it in its raw state, eg: remove peel from an orange.
Before juicing any produce, it is important to wash it thoroughly to remove all contaminants including soil and pesticides.
Skins, Stems and Seeds
Skins
Juicing with the skins on is a personal preference with most produce.
Stems
The only stems that are beneficial to process are grape stems. All others
should be removed as they have nothing to offer.
Seeds
Removing seeds is discretionary due to certain health risks associated with
certain produce.
13
Helpful Tips
Carrots
Carrots can be a bit challenging to juice due to their dense nature. Never over stuff the Chute, always leave some “wiggle room” to avoid jamming the Chute. Once carrots have been inserted, replace the pusher into the chute. Apply gentle pressure, this will help to stabilize the carrots down the chute.
Citrus Fruits
Orange and grapefruit peel is bitter in taste and should be removed. When peeling, however, leave the pith on (white soft layer between peel and fruit) and juice it to get all the vitamins. Lemon and lime are used to flavor dishes, so peel may be left on for more flavor when juicing. To juice with the skin, use a slow gentle pressure. Apply a bit more pressure if necessary, but do not use excessive force with the Pusher.
Juicing Leafy Produce
Leafy produce process best when rolled in a bunch, fed into the Chute, then followed by fruits or vegetables containing a larger volume of juice such as celery, tomato, or cucumber. See chart page 16-17.
Mangos, Apricots and Peaches
IMPORTANT: Always remove pits.
Do not put any produce in the juicer with pits. Pits may damage the Blade causing the motor to seize voiding your warranty.
Pomegranates and Cherries
These wonder fruits can absolutely be juiced. When juicing cherries it is necessary to remove the pits. We recommend using a cherry pitter. When juicing pomegranate (seeds) it is necessary to separate the seeds from the outer skin and the inner membrane before they can be processed.
Pineapples and Melons
Although the juicer can process the whole fruit, the juice tastes best when the rind is removed. Again, this is a personal preference. The “stringy” consistency of very ripe pineapple may sometimes cause blockage in the spout requiring periodic cleaning to avoid back up and overflow in the Receptacle.
14 15

Helpful Tips
Berries and Small Fruits
Juicing berries may seem a bit challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it you will love the great flavors they add to your juice. Not to mention the health benefits they have to offer. When juicing berries (except cranberries) you will need to add something that contains a larger volume of juice such as an apple or orange. For example, process the berries first (you may not see a lot of juice come out at first), then add an apple or an orange, something that is juicy.
Once you process this, you will see the berry juice come pouring out.
Fresh Juice Looks Different...
You will be making FRESH JUICE... With no additives, food coloring or added sugar, so it may look different from the commercially processed juice available in stores. Fresh juice tends to have a thin layer of foam on top. A quick stir with a spoon will incorporate it back into the juice or you may remove it if you prefer.
The Power of Pulp
We like to say that with the Power Juicer, nothing is wasted, that’s why we have also included some easy ”pulp friendly” food recipes for soups, muffins, salsa, and more. If you like pulp in your juice, take some from the pulp collector and add it back to your juice with a quick stir to mix it in.
Emptying The Pulp Collector
When juicing in large volume be sure to empty the Pulp Collector often. A pulp
“back up” into the Filter can cause the motor to shut off. Inserting a plastic bag inside the Pulp Collector before juicing large quantities makes for quick emptying during the process and easy clean up when you’re done.
Following these tips your juicing experience is sure to be a delightful one!

DO NOT JUICE
Some fruits and vegetables cannot be juiced due to their inability to produce juice. Although they are unable to be juiced, that does not mean we should not enjoy them on a daily basis as part of a healthy diet.
Examples are: avocado, banana, and coconut.
Never use the green tops of rhubarb. Oxalic acid is toxic in the leaves.
There are so many other healthy fruits and vegetables available that it’s just easier and safer to skip rhubarb as a juice source.
CLEANING THE JUICE SPOUT
STEP 1:
Disassemble the unit per instructions
(page 6-7). Locate removable Juice Spout

CLEANING YOUR JUICER
We have made juicer clean up as easy as possible. All of thecomponents, with exception of the motor base, can be put in your home dishwasher. Place components in the top rack (only) as temperatures near the bottom drying element may vary with manufacturer.
Caution:
Some commercial and foreign made dishwashers may reach internal temperatures that are higher than machines made for home use by U.S. standards. Do not use these dishwashers with your Power Juicer. The higher temperatures may cause damage to your juicer. Check with your dishwasher manufacturer before using.
For easiest clean up, we recommend you rinse/clean your Power Juicer immediately after juicing. This will help prevent fruit/vegetable fibers from hardening on the components, making it more difficult to clean.
• Turn off the Power Switch and wait until the motor completely stops.
• With dry hands, unplug the AC cord from electrical outlet.
• Disassemble the machine. (See disassembly instructions pages 6-7.)
• Wipe Base with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Do not submerge Base in water.
Do not spray the Base with water or any other liquid. Base is not dishwasher safe.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use abrasive sponges, cloths, or cleansers as these can damage the finish.
• Clean all other parts in warm, soapy water. A mild detergent is recommended.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
• To clean the Filter and Blade, hold them under warm running water.
Use a bristled dish washing brush to gently clean pulp from Filter. Rinse the
Filter from the outside under running water.
If your sink has a spray hose attachment, this is especially effective for loosening fiber from the Filter and the Blade before placing them in the dishwasher.
• Dry components thoroughly then assemble the machine and turn the power on to spin out any excess water.
• Make sure unit and parts are completely dry, then store in a cool, dry place.
18
Problem
TROUBLESHOOTING
Possible Reasons and Solution
The motor does not run after being switched on.
The motor is running with a loud noise and excessive vibration.
• Check to see if unit is plugged in.
• Locking Bar is not locked in place properly.
• Check if all parts are assembled properly.
• Check if there is any residue left between Blade and Receptacle.
• Check that all parts are assembled properly and in the correct position.
• Juicing overripe fruit may result in too much pulp and will clog the Filter. Turn machine off and clean the Filter.
The motor overheats causing the power to automatically shut off.
• You may have applied too much pressure with
the Pusher while processing causing the motor to accidentally over heat. This activates the built-in Thermal Cut Off Switch. The motor will temporarily stop working for approximately
10 minutes to cool down. See additional information on page 4.
• The motor needs to warm up for 5–10 seconds before first use.
• The fruits and vegetables may be soft or overripe.
• There may be too much pulp in the Filter.
Turn machine off and clean the Filter.
• Pulp Collector is full and needs to be emptied.
No juice is coming out of the spout.
• Make sure the Juice Spout is in the downward
position while juicing. If it is in the upward
position the juice will not come out.
It will overflow from the sides of the receptacle.

Common Questions about the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer
This summary briefly answers common questions. Read operating manual before use.
Q. Why won’t the power turn on?
A. First, make certain the Juicer’s AC cord is plugged into a working 110 V electrical outlet, then check that the switch is in the on position. Then, check that all parts are assembled properly. The unit has a built-in safety device that will not let the motor turn on if not assembled properly. The Power Juicer also has a built-in
Thermal Cut Off Safety Switch. If the machine was running, then shut down due to accidental overheating, then there is a 10 minute cooling time before the machine will restart. This helps to protect the motor from seizing.
Q. Can I order spare parts?
A. Yes, you can visit us on the web at www.powerjuicer.com under the parts heading. Replacement parts are also available on back inside cover of the operating manual or call 800-718-5135.
Q. Why is my Power Juicer clogged?
A. This may happen for a number of reasons:
1. Pulp collector is full and needs to be emptied.
2. If the fruit you are using is over ripe.
3. If there is too much pulp in the Filter. Turn the machine off, unplug the AC power cord, and clean the Filter.
4. Fruits such as avocados or bananas cannot be juiced in the Power Juicer.
5. The Spout may be blocked by a piece of pulp that may have passed through the Filter causing the juice to collect in the Receptacle and overflow. Turn the machine off, unplug the AC power cord, wait for the Blade to stop spinning and inspect the Spout. Clear the blockage so the juice can flow freely.
Q. Can I put the whole fruit in the Power Juicer?
A. Yes, as long as it fits in the Chute and does not have pits, tough skin or stems. We recommend that you maintain your personal produce preferences in their “fresh state” as juice, rather than a less nutrient rich “cooked” form.
Before juicing any produce, it is important to wash it thoroughly to remove all contaminants including soil and pesticides.
Q. Can I put whole fruits with large pits in the Power Juicer?
A. No, remove pits, as they will damage the Blade and possibly the unit.
Q. Can I put all components in the dishwasher?
A. All components are dishwasher safe (with the exception of the motor housing) in a household dishwasher manufactured to US standards. Avoid European made or commercial dishwashers. Some commercial and foreign made dishwashers may reach internal temperatures that are higher than machines made for home use by US standards. Do not use these dishwashers with your Power Juicer. The higher temperatures may cause damage to your juicer voiding your warranty. Check with your dishwasher manufacturer before using.
Q. How can I make smoothies if you can not add milk, yogurt, ice or bananas to the Power Juicer?
A. The Power Juicer will not make smoothies, only fresh juice for smoothies. Add all smoothie ingredients separately in a blender.
Q. What is the diameter of the feed Chute?
A. The inside diameter of the Chute is approximately 3”.
Q. How can I juice carrots?
20 21
20
A. Carrots can be a bit challenging to juice due to their dense nature. Never over stuff the Chute, always leave some “wiggle room” to avoid jamming the Chute.
Once carrots have been inserted, replace the pusher into the Chute and apply gentle pressure. This will help stabilize the carrots down the chute.
Q. Can I add ice or liquid to the Power Juicer?
A. No, you can not add ice or any liquid to the power juicer.
Q. How can I get berry juice to come out of the Receptacle?
A. Follow the berries with a fruit or vegetable that contains a larger volume of juice. These fruits will produce more juice and push the berry juice through the
Receptacle. If you choose to juice only berries then take the machine apart and empty juice from Receptacle into a glass or bowl.
Q. How long does the fresh juice last?
A. To get the full benefits of fresh juice it is best if you drink it right away. As fresh juice sits, it looses significant amounts of vitamins and nutrients. Some juices last longer than others and refrigerate well as long as they are in a sealed container. They can only be kept for a few hours. Preferably in a glass covered container so the flavor is not altered.You can add a few drops of lemon juice to help maintain the flavor. Here is a list of juices that refrigerate well: carrot, apple, orange, pear, grape, grapefruit, pineapple, kiwi, prune, peach, celery, and beet juice. You can also freeze fresh juice the same way. Juice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to one month.
Q. How long does the pulp last?
A. Fruit and vegetable pulp can be frozen. It is best if it is in an airtight container or freezer bag. Discard after one month. We recommend that you use a separate container or bag for each pulp.
Q. Is there a customer service number I can call?
A. Yes, should you have any problems our friendly customer service staff is here to help you if you have a question? We are available at 800-718-5135.
Q. Can I use wheatgrass in my Power Juicer?
A. Yes, it works best if you roll it up in something leafy such as spinach and follow with something juicy such as pineapple. If you choose to juice wheatgrass alone just roll it up and insert it in the Power Juicer.
Q. Can I use cherries whole in my Power Juicer?
A. Yes, but only if the pits have been removed prior to juicing. A quick, easy way to do this is by using a cherry pitter.
Q. Can I use grapes with seeds and stems?
A. Yes, we recommend you wash them thoroughly prior to juicing.
Q. Can I put a rind of the melon in the Power Juicer?
A. Yes, we recommend you wash them thoroughly prior to juicing. We do not recommend leaving the rind on the cantaloupe due to recent cases of salmonella contamination. This is a personal preference.
Q. Can my Power Juicer be used as a food processor? Is there a special attachment I need?
A. No, there is no attachment that turns the Power Juicer into a food processor.
However, the Power Juicer leaves behind pulp from the fruits and vegetables that is used to cook with or freeze to make delicious frozen treats. Use the pulp to make healthy sauces, salsas, dips, muffins and more.
