In need of help with the Juiceman JR

[thrifty_sahm]

Well, I got one off eBay, and of course, the instructions are missing. Would someone be so kind to answer a few questions for me?

Can I put the components that come off in the top rack of the dishwasher?

Do I have to peel or cut up the veggies/fruit before I juice it?

Is there anything else I MUST know before using it?

TIA

I have one. It has a metal wire basket with a green lip. I can put all of my parts in the dishwasher. I usually use a brush to clean the wire basket part, though. Peel if you want. If you leave canataloup peels on then the juice is really creamy! If you do something like parsley or spinach you need to put in something hard then the leafy stuff and then another hard thing. Like a piece of apple, then a handful of spinach and a piece of carrot.

One of the points of juicing is to get as many nutrients as possible, so you really don't want to peel, but you will have to cut things up, the Juiceman gets stuck very easy so I can imagine the Juiceman Jr would also. No clue on the dishwasher safe stuff as I have never had a dishwasher, and I just handwash everything.
