CONTROL PANEL
Your Juiceman® JM418SS has a unique control panel, offering two speed options:
HIGH or LOW. These two speeds ensure optimal rpm to provide maximum juicing
efficiency (efficiency describes the amount of juice extracted from your produce).
HIGH SPEED
Best for harder produce, such as carrots, beets, and
HIGH
LOW
pineapple (with rind). Also recommended for leafy or stringy
produce such as celery and greens.
LOW SPEED
Best for softer produce such as citrus, apples, grapes (with
stems), melons, peaches (remove pit), and tomatoes. Also
recommended for ripe produce that has become soft.

Press this Button to pause or turn your Juiceman®
JM418SS OFF.
®
BEFORE USING THE JUICEMAN JM418SS
The Juiceman® JM418SS comes almost completely assembled in the box. We
suggest taking it apart and washing the removable parts in warm water with a
biodegradable, non-abrasive liquid detergent before the first use. This will eliminate
any traces of dust or residue from manufacturing or shipping.
NOTE: Your Juicer may be shipped with a protective cardboard insert between the
Feed Tube and Cutter Blade (on the Blade Basket). Remove this and any other
protective packaging before using your Juicer.
CAUTION: Never rinse or immerse the Motor Base in water or any
other liquid.
NOTE: Refer to the Fresh Juice Recipes & Menu Planner for juice recipes, pulp
recipes, sample menus, and tips on buying, cleaning and storing.
• Make sure the Blade Basket is securely seated and the Pulp Basket is at the rear
of the Juicer, ready to catch pulp. To save cleaning time, line the Pulp Basket
with a plastic produce bag (the kind you put your produce in at the grocery
store).
• Place a glass underneath the Juice Spout.
• Read assembly and disassembly directions. Make sure the Juicer is properly and
completely assembled. The Juicer will not turn on unless properly assembled.

PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR YOUR JUICER
• Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush. If you are not using
organic produce, we recommend using a biodegradable cleaner to help remove
pesticide residue.
• Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any
waxed fruit or vegetable.
• Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
• The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except
oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter and
is difficult to digest.
• Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top of the
Feed Tube while juicing. The pits of fruits such as cherries, pears, and peaches
should also be removed.
• Cut produce into pieces small enough to fit into the Feed Tube. Use the Food
Pusher to gently direct produce through the Feed Tube. Never push produce
into the Feed Tube with your fingers.
• Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into a small,
tight ball and pushed through with either a carrot or the Food Pusher.
• Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them
and residue left in the machine can clog the micro-mesh screen. Produce such as
apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes should be firm for best results
when juicing.
®
USING THE JUICEMAN JM418SS
TO TURN YOUR JUICEMAN® 418SS ON:
• Make sure that your Juicer is completely and properly
assembled. See ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
• Remove the Food Pusher from the Feed Tube.
• Press HIGH Speed Button for harder produce.
• Press LOW Speed Button for softer produce.
• Place produce into the Feed Tube and gently direct
through the Feed Tube and Blade Basket with the
Food Pusher.
• When juicing a combination of hard and soft
produce, such as carrots and apples, you will want to use HIGH speed for the
carrots and LOW speed for the apples. You do not have to turn the machine
OFF to change speeds. Simply press the appropriate Speed Button for each type
of produce being juiced.
Tip: Try alternating types of produce to ensure maximum efficiency.
TO TURN YOUR JUICEMAN® 418SS OFF:
• Press the OFF Button. Unplug the Juicer from the outlet when not in use.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS MAKE SURE JUICER IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY.
NOTE: For your juicing convenience, your Juiceman® JM418SS can be assembled
for right-hand or left-hand use. Right hand use allows the user to place produce
into the Feed Tube with the left hand while operating the Food Pusher with the
right hand. If you are left-handed, or feel the juicing operation is uncomfortable,
you can reverse the assembly instructions below so the Juice Spout is to the rear
of the unit (and all subsequent parts will face the opposite way).
Left Hand Assembly
Right Hand Assembly
Step One: Place Juice Bowl
Place Juice Bowl on top of the Motor Base so
that the Juice Spout is to the front (over the
Juiceman® logo). Align four tabs on underside
of Juice Bowl with four Buttons on the Motor
Base. Lower Juice Bowl onto Base and rotate
slightly to fit Tabs over the Buttons.
Step Two: Place Blade Holder
Place Blade Holder on top of the Juice Bowl so
the Pulp Spout is opposite the Juice Spout.
Align square tab on underside rim of Blade
Holder with bend in rim of Juice Bowl. When
seated properly, the Blade Holder will turn
only slightly.

properly. When seated properly, the Blade Basket
will not lift out of the Blade Holder and will
spin freely.)
CAUTION: Use care when handling the Blade
Basket; the Cutter Blades are very sharp!
Step Four: Place Clear Lid
Align Clear Lid so Pulp Ejection Opening is over
the Pulp Spout. Place cut-outs in the Lid over the
matching cut-outs in the rim of the Blade Holder.
Step Five: Attach Clamps
While holding Clamp from the bottom, push
Clamp up and in until top of Clamp rests in slot
on the Lid. Place thumb onto center dot on
Clamp and firmly press in until the bottom of the
Clamp snaps into place. Repeat for opposite
Clamp.
Step Six: Place Pulp Collector
Place the Pulp Basket under the Pulp Ejection
Opening on the Clear Lid. The Pulp Basket will fit
snugly against the edge of the Juicer.

CLEANING YOUR JUICER
• Unplug from outlet before assembling or removing parts and
before cleaning.
Do not immerse the Motor Base in water or spray it with water.
Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth, or paper towel.
Use any liquid dishwashing detergent but do not use any products
containing ammonia or scouring powders. These products will
dull, scratch or mar the plastic surface.
• All parts (except the Motor Base) are washable in warm, soapy
water. Follow DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. To clean the
Juicer Lid and Juice Bowl, we recommend using a fruit and
vegetable brush with natural fibers.
DO NOT USE A METAL BRUSH OR PAD.
• When cleaning the Blade Basket, use the brush to make sure
the tiny holes in the Basket are not clogged. This can be
accomplished by holding the Blade Basket under a running
faucet while brushing the Basket holes from both inside and
outside the Blade Basket.
• Occasionally, the Juice Bowl, Juicer Lid, and Blade Basket may
be washed in a dishwasher, only if they are placed on the top
shelf of the dishwasher. However, washing with ordinary warm
(not hot) tap water on a daily basis should be sufficient.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Sponge off the Motor Base and the legs underneath if any juice
has spilled under the Juicer. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth to
clean juice from inside the Hub on top of the Motor Base.
Juicer should be air-dried only!
Clean Your
Juicer
Thoroughly
Before Retiring
For The Day
Due to the powerful staining properties of the carotenoids that are
found in many vegetables, especially carrots, we suggest the
following cleaning procedures:
• Stained parts may be soaked overnight in any of these solutions:
(1) biodegradable soap in enough warm water to cover Juicer
parts, (2) 1/4 cup bleach added to a sink full of warm water,
(3) 1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar or (4) 1/2 small
box baking soda in enough warm water to cover parts.
• Never use ammonia or abrasives.
• Lightly scrub with soft bristle brush and liquid detergent
after soaking.
• NEVER SUBMERGE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID!

different applications such as breads, muffins, cakes, soup stocks,
compressed facial packs and garden compost material.

Pulp may have built up on the Blade Basket. Clean the Blade
Basket and try alternating different types of produce while juicing.
Note: Because of the Juiceman’s powerful motor, a small amount of
noise and/or vibration is normal when the Juicer is turned on and as
it comes to a complete stop. All Juicers will sound slightly different.
