Stainless Steel Citrus Juicer from Cuisinart.
OPERATION of Stainless Steel Citrus Juicer
1. Place stainless steel citrus juicer on a clean, dry counter.
2. Remove cover.
3. Place a glass or container under 2-cup measure and no higher than 5 3/8" under the spout.
4. Make sure spout is in the open position.
5. Slice fruit horizontally.
6. Place center of citrus fruit on the center of the juicing cone. For large and small citrus fruits, place palm of hand over the fruit.
7. Press fruit against cone by using firm steady pressure to activate juicing mechanism.
8. If you remove the pressure, reamer may reverse direction once pressure is reapplied – this is normal and provides more even, effective juicing. Squeezing the fruit while pressing down on the cone will extract more juice.
9. Once you feel the ribs of the cone through the citrus rind, remove from cone and repeat steps 5-7.
10. After approximately 1 lb. of fruit has been juiced, the sieve will appear to be full.
11. Remove rind from cone and place cover on top of stainless stell citrus juicer unit. Press down on cover to activate the ‘Fast-Spin’ feature. This will remove the remaining juice from the pulp and juice container.
12. Once the juice slows to a drip, release pressure to stop the ‘Fast-Spin’feature.
13. Place drip spout in the closed position and remove cup.
14. Remove cover and cone and empty pulp from sieve.
15. Rinse cone and repeat steps 5-12 until you have the desired amount of juice.

BENEFITS
Citrus juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, but the juice begins to lose its vitamin power after squeezing. Fresh citrus juice loses 20% of its vitamin C potency within 24 hours. The best juice is “just squeezed”. There is no comparison between the flavor of fresh lemon and lime juices and their purchased refrigerated or frozen counterparts. Fresh juice has significantly more flavor than the purchased juices and will make your finished recipes more flavorful.
