Before first use.
Before using your juicer for the first time, please take a moment to perform the steps below.
UNPACK Open the box and remove the appliance with its various components, placing all parts on a flat, level surface.
SEPARATE A few parts will be packed together. Separate them using the following 3 steps (see image): a. Lifting up, remove Grinding Assembly and Rotating Bowl Brush together from the Juice Bowl. b. Detach Rotating Bowl Brush by moving it down. c. Lifting up, remove the Auger from Juicing Screen.
(a)
(a)
(b)
(c)
CLEAN Immerse all detachable parts and accessories (not the base) in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Clean the outside of the base with a clean, damp cloth. WARNING: Never submerge the Motor Base in water or any other liquid.
10
Assembly.
1 Before starting assembly,
check that the appliance is unplugged and and the power switch is off.
2 Check the position of the
pulp plug. Look at the bottom of the Juice Bowl.
Make sure the pulp plug is
positioned properly in the
pulp spout (see image).
3 Attach Juice Bowl to Motor
Base. Position the Juice Bowl on top of the Motor Base and push downwards, making sure the bowl is tightly fastened to the base and locked securely in place. The Juice Bowl must be attached in its proper position or the appliance will not operate.
4 Put the Juice Screen into
the Rotating Bowl Brush.
11
5 Place the screen and
brush assembly into the Juice Bowl.
NOTE: You may need to turn it slightly before it seats properly.
6 Put the Auger into the
strainer and ensure the Auger is positioned properly onto the center axis. Turn and press down on the head until it is seated securely into place.
7 Place the Juice Bowl Cover
on top of the Juice Bowl, making sure the "unlocked" symbol on the lid aligns with the arrow symbol on the bowl. Rotate cover clockwise to lock it in place.
12
NOTE: To ensure the Juice Bowl Cover is fully locked, rotate it until the "locked" symbol on the Juice Bowl Cover aligns with the uptriangle symbol on the Juice Bowl (see closeup image).
Make sure the Juice Bowl Cover is fully locked in position, or the appliance will not operate. (To remove the Juice Bowl Cover from the Juice Bowl, rotate it counter-clockwise.)
8 Place Juice and Pulp
Containers under spouts.
8a Position the Juice Container
below the juice spout, this is on the right side of the Juice Bowl with the spout cover.
8b Place the Pulp Container
below the pulp spout.
NOTE: The juice and Pulp Containers must be in their proper positions before juicing. During operation, juice will flow into the Juice Container from the juice spout, while pulp will be ejected from the pulp spout and collected by the Pulp Container.
9 Put the Food Pusher into the
feed chute. The juicer is now ready to operate.
13
Usage instructions.
1 Prepare foods for juicing,
and make sure nonjuiceable foods are not used. · Remove any hard seeds, pits, and skin for example, peel and pits should be removed from oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and melons. · Cut foods into smaller pieces if needed to fit into the feed chute. · Do not attempt to process thick or hard foods that don't contain any juice to extract (for example, it is not recommended to process bananas, avocados, coconuts, or similar hard foods, since these may damage the motor).
14
2 Before plugging the power
cord into an outlet, make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position.
3 The power switch has three
settings. Pressing the power switch to the "ON" position activates the motor and starts making juice; pressing the power switch to "OFF" turns off the machine; and "REV" means reverse rotation, only used when something is stuck and you need to unclog the unit.
4 Make sure the juice and
Pulp Containers are in their
proper positions.
5 Plug the juicer into the
power outlet, then press the power switch to the "ON" position.
6 Drop the prepared fruits
or vegetables into the feed chute and gently push the items down into the grinding assembly, using the Food Pusher.
CAUTION: Never place your your finger or hand into the feed chute. Always use the food pusher provided.
6a The appliance will start to
process the food items. After a few moments, the juice will flow out.
NOTE: For efficient juicing, alternate feeding soft foods and hard foods into the feed chute. For example, follow leafy greens with an apple slice, or orange with a carrot. The harder produce will help with processing the softer produce and extract more juice.
CAUTION: The auger must stop rotating before changing from "ON" to "REV". Do not turn the power switch from "ON" to "REV" or from "REV" to "ON" without pressing the power switch to "OFF" first. Once the appliance is "OFF" and has stopped running completely then turn the power switch from "OFF" to "REV" or from "OFF" to "ON".
15
7 While you are juicing, you
may choose to open the wide chute lid, which will open the chute to 3-inches. This will accommodate larger pieces of fruits and vegetables. When the wide chute lid is in the open position, the motor will pause and the Auger will stop rotating. After you have inserted fruits and vegetables into the large chute, close the wide chute lid to restart the motor and continue juicing.
8 Once the Juice Container
is full, or all food has been processed, turn the power switch to "OFF". If you have more food to process, empty the Juice and Pulp Containers before starting a new round of juice extracting.
NOTE: Do not insert too much food to extract at one time. During operation, once the Juice Container is full, you must stop the appliance and empty the Juice and Pulp Containers before the next juicing cycle.
CAUTION: During operation, if the Juice Bowl Lid is disconnected from the Juice Bowl, the motor will stop.

Juicing tips.
PROPER PRODUCE PREP
Prepare fruit and veggies before inserting them into the juicer:
· Clean produce properly. Rinse with lukewarm water, produce wash, or water and apple cider vinegar.
· Peel or remove skin as needed. Foods with thick or hard skin must be peeled before being put into the juicer.
· Remove rind from all citrus fruits before juicing.
· Remove large pits and seeds from stone fruit before juicing. Stone fruit may be used only if the seeds or pits have been removed. Fruit with hard cores must be pitted. The cores of peach, plum, mango, and apricot should not be put into the feed chute, to avoid any potential malfunction.
· Chop food items down to the right size - small enough to fit easily into the feed chute, without having to force pieces down with the Food Pusher.
· Foods with less moisture and hard fiber: Cut into slices.
· Leafy vegetables and foods with long, hard fiber (such as celery and kale): Cut the stems into 4 inch pieces and then roll up the leaves well.
· For efficient juicing, alternate feeding soft foods and hard foods into the feed chute. For example, follow leafy greens with an apple slice, or an orange with a carrot. The harder produce will help with processing the softer produce and extract more juice.
· Frozen food items can be put in the juicer after being defrosted.
FEED CHUTE
· Never place your hand, fingers, utensils, or other foreign objects into the feed chute while it is attached to the appliance.
· Do not overload the feed chute. Insert food gradually, at a pace the juicer can keep up with.
· Use only the provided Food Pusher to push food into
17
the feed chute. Never use fingers, utensils, or any other apparatus.
· Never use excessive force to push items into the feed chute.
· After inserting food, ensure all items have moved down the feed chute before adding more.
· If any food gets stuck in the feed chute, use the Food Pusher to move it down the chute.
· For best taste, consume fresh juice and pulp within 72 hours of juicing.
CAUTION: Do not operate the unit without feeding food into it, to avoid damaging the grinding assembly.
FOODS THAT CANNOT BE JUICED:
· Foods that do not contain juice to extract (for example, bananas, avocados, coconuts)
· Stone fruits that have large pits or seeds that have not been removed
· Hard fruits or thick vegetables rich in fiber and starch
· Frozen fruits or vegetables
18
Troubleshooting.
PROBLEM: PARTS ARE DIFFICULT TO DISASSEMBLE
Solution: After finishing juicing, in order to detach and clean parts more easily, continue to run the juicer for about 30 seconds without adding any additional food in order to process any food that might be stuck in the Auger and Juicing Screen.
Another tip: after you are done extracting juice, pouring some water in the feed chute to clean it can help make it easier to disassemble.
PROBLEM: JUICER IS STUCK AND WON'T OPERATE
Solution: If the juicer is stuck and not operable, press the power switch to the "OFF" position. Then press the RESET switch, which is located at the bottom of the base (see image).
Next, press and hold the power switch in the "REV" position for few seconds, then try operating again.
If this reverse function does not work, turn off the machine, unplug, and reassemble it, using the
instructions given earlier in this guide. After reassembly, try turning on the machine to see if normal function has been restored.
PROBLEM: THE JUICER TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF JUICING.
If the motor overheats, the juicer will turn off. Solution: If the juicer is overheated and stops working, unplug it and allow it to cool down for at least fifteen minutes before attempting to use again.
19
Disassembly.
1 Make sure the juicer is
powered OFF, cooled down completely, and unplugged before starting disassembly. Ensure that the motor has completely stopped, the grinding assembly has stopped moving, and all moving parts have stopped before disassembling juicer.
2 Remove the Juice Container
from under the juice spout. To prevent drips, use the spout cover to close the juice spout.
3 Remove the Pulp Container
from under the pulp spout.
20
4 Twist the Juice Bowl
lid counter-clockwise to unlock it, then lift to remove it from the top of the juicing jar.
5 Remove the Auger from the
bowl.
6 Detach and lift the Juice
Bowl (with the Rotating Bowl Brush, Juicing Screen, and Auger still inside) off the top of the base.
7 Remove the Rotating Bowl
Brush and Juicing Screen
together from the bowl.
8 Detach the Rotating Bowl
Brush from Juicing Screen
moving it downwards.
9 If the Food Pusher is inside
the feed chute, remove it.
21
Care and maintenance.
Cleaning the NutriBullet® Slow Juicer is quick and easy. All parts (except for the base) can be cleaned by simply rinsing with warm soapy water, or most parts are dishwasher safe. Here are some tips for cleaning and best practices.
1 Always make sure the
base is unplugged before you begin assembly, disassembly, cleaning, or storage of the unit.
2 Detach and separate the
parts of the juicer (see Disassembly section).
3 Empty the Pulp and Juice
Containers (store or throw away pulp, store or consume juice).
4 Clean the Juice Bowl
Cover, Food Pusher, Auger, Juicing Screen, Rotating Bowl Brush, Juice Bowl, and the juice and Pulp Containers under running water.
CAUTION: Do not use a metal sponge to clean, it will damage the machine.
22
5 Clean all juicer parts,
except for the Motor Base, in warm, soapy water. Or, you can put all parts into the dishwasher except for the Auger.
CAUTION: ALWAYS clean the Auger by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. The Auger is not dishwasher safe.
6 The Cleaning Brush can be
used for better cleaning of the Juicing Screen. The screen can be cleaned completely using the small Cleaning Brush. Use this brush to scrub the Screen under running water. Be sure to properly clean the screen every time you juice. Leftover traces of fruits and vegetables can cause residue buildup in the strainer, which can clog the holes and may prohibit maximum juice extraction.
CAUTION: The Juice Screen is sharp, so handle carefully during cleaning.
7 If you need to clean the
pulp spout, first pull the pulp plug out of the pulp spout, then clean it
thoroughly with the narrow end of the Cleaning Brush. The narrow end of the Cleaning Brush is sized so that it can fit inside of the pulp spout to help remove pulp that has been stuck. Run water through the bowl and pulp spout to help remove any remaining pulp.
8 Wipe the outside of the base
with a clean, damp cloth.
WA R N I N G: Never submerge the Motor Base into water or other liquid.
9 Let all parts dry
thoroughly, then assemble and store the appliance in a dry place. The Juice Container can be stored in the Pulp Container.
PRO TIP: Clean your appliance as soon as possible after juicing. If allowed to sit, pulp may dry on one or more parts (such as the Juicing Screen), which can make it more difficult to scrub away residue. If any pulp residue does cake onto any parts of the unit, allow those parts to soak in hot water for 30 minutes, which should soften the residue and make it easier to remove.
Replacement parts.

How to store.
To save juice for future use, store it covered in the Juice Container in your refrigerator. You can also store pulp the same way, in the Pulp Container. For best taste, consume juice and pulp within 72 hours. Store juicer in a safe dry place where parts will not be damaged and won't cause harm. When moving the juicer, always grasp it by the base (not the Juice Bowl or Juice Bowl Cover).
