Cuisinart CCJ-500 F.A.Q.

How do I assemble the Cuisinart CCJ-500 for first-time use?

To assemble the Cuisinart CCJ-500, first place the juice container on the base. Then, attach the reamer to the container by aligning the grooves and pushing down gently until it snaps into place. Finally, place the cover over the reamer.

What should I do if the juicer does not start when plugged in?

Ensure the power cord is plugged into a functional outlet. Check that all parts are properly assembled and the cover is securely in place, as the juicer will not operate if not correctly assembled.

How can I clean the Cuisinart CCJ-500 after use?

Disassemble the juicer by removing the cover, reamer, and juice container. All removable parts are dishwasher safe, but can also be washed with warm soapy water. Wipe the base with a damp cloth.

What is the best way to extract maximum juice using the Cuisinart CCJ-500?

To extract maximum juice, press the fruit firmly onto the reamer and use the final-spin feature by closing the cover and pressing down again after normal juicing is complete.

Why is the juice extraction process slower than expected?

Ensure that the fruit is cut in half and placed correctly on the reamer. Additionally, check that the reamer is clean and free of pulp buildup, which can slow down the extraction process.

Is it safe to use the Cuisinart CCJ-500 with citrus fruits with seeds?

Yes, the Cuisinart CCJ-500 is designed to handle citrus fruits with seeds. The reamer and filter will help separate seeds from the juice.

How often should I descale my juicer, and how is it done?

Descaling is not typically necessary for the Cuisinart CCJ-500. However, regular cleaning after each use will prevent any mineral buildup.

Can I juice other fruits or vegetables with the CCJ-500?

The Cuisinart CCJ-500 is specifically designed for citrus fruits. Juicing other fruits or vegetables is not recommended and might damage the unit or produce unsatisfactory results.

What should I do if the reamer stops rotating during use?

Turn off the juicer and unplug it. Check for any blockages or pulp build-up around the reamer. Clean the parts if necessary, then reassemble and try again.

How do I store the Cuisinart CCJ-500 when not in use?

Ensure the juicer is clean and dry before storing. Assemble all parts and place the cover over the reamer to prevent dust accumulation. Store in a cool, dry place.
