I can't take apart my new indulgence by mistral juicer for initial clean. I was able to take off the clear top and pusher and the pulp container, but can't get the filter out or spout.

May not be repairable if pusher is distorted or damaged. If jammed with a foreign body, need to carefully pry apart and clean out. Find a handy person and offer a fine juice meal.

The safety switch is on the bottom base where the pulp collection bin goes. If you look on the pulp collection bin there is a small tab that when assembled right deactivates the safety switch. The main arm that holds the top container where you put the produce in is also a safety mechanism that when not in place the machine will not turn on.

When juicing with the champion juicer take it slow. You need to hold down the tamper for three to five seconds in-between reloading the chute. Otherwise it will begin to back up through the chute and the juicer will begin to heat up. Happy juicing! LivingaHealthyandHappyLife.com

General instructions:

clean the basket-filter-screening of your Singer Juice Giant Model 774:

First, unplug the juicer from the power source and disassemble it.
Remove the pulp container and the juice jug.
Locate the basket-filter-screening and gently twist it counterclockwise to remove it from the juicer.
Rinse the basket-filter-screening under running water to remove any pulp or debris.
Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub away any remaining residue.
Rinse the basket-filter-screening again and dry it with a clean towel.
Reassemble the juicer.
If you need more detailed instructions, you can refer to the manual for your product

the first solution is half right ... there are 2 hidden switches on the machine which are activated by shafts on the pulp container and on the top lid .if either is not on then machine will not work. possibly broke plunger on the pulp container ....or broken clip that holds the container in place

Most juicers have a retention rod or side snaps that hold the top of the juicer in place. By loosening these, it will allow you to get underneath the juicer cap top. Once you have done this, you will have to remove the juice/ pulp wheel blade. Your juicer should have come with a two pin tool that facilitates this. Use the tool to loosen the juice /pulp wheel blade. Once you have done this, you should be able to remove the outer juice capture rim with that has the spout on one end. I hope this helps. Good luck and happy juicing.

flip down the lever to pull it all apart.

rinse out the lid, food pusher and base(that the mesh filter sits in).

scrub out the mesh filter with a dish brush or the included brush if you have it. be carefull the grater-like parts at the base are very sharp. make sure it's clean by holding it up to the light. if there are any particles left clinging to the mesh it will seriously interfere with the effectiveness of your juicing.

you can line the pulp collecting jug with a plastic bag so that you dont have to clean that out as well.

it's best to clean everything immediately. if for some reason you can't, at least rinse the plastic parts and leave the mesh basket to soak until you can get back to it.

if you have any dried food or staining on any of the parts then a soak in water with lemon juice in it (maybe the juice of 3 or 4 lemons) should help soften up particles and strip away stains.

hope this helps....

the blade can be removed possibly with your hands, if you can manage to turn it, if not then find something that will fit into those little holes of the blade to turn it, and then take it apart, but remember in what order. to put it together: the grey thing with the spout attached goes on first, then the orange basket, then the blade, but don't turn it too tight, just look for the indicator marks and line them up with the arrows, then the black lid, and then the pulp basket.make sure that the black lid in the back, goes INTO the pulp collector, it is not very far, but if it is not done like this, then your machine will not work. then you raise and lock the bar into place and put the pusher into the feeding tube. hope that helps.

Pour some water into it, at the very end.

Take off the top part of the juicer that has the chute. You will see the blade and basket. The blade appears to be attached to the basket with three small screws but is actually screwed onto the basket by a large screw that protrudes out of the basket underneath the blade. So the trick is to unscrew the blade, turning it to the left by using maybe a small screwdriver that you will have to put into one of the two small holes that are on the blade surface and pushing the blade to the left. This should loosen the blade and then you can just unscrew the blade off the basket. Once you get that blade off, the rest of the juicer comes apart. The newer models come with a little tool with a couple of arms that go down into those holes and loosen the top. Good luck.
