When caring for your Sage Juicer, the most important part to be aware of is how to clean your juicer’s filter basket. Keeping the mesh of the filter basket clean and clear, and ensuring the blades in the center remain sharp, will help you achieve the best juice and juicing experience.
While cleaning the parts for each juicer varies slightly, the best suggestion is to clean the juicer immediately after each use, paying special attention to the filter basket
Cleaning the Filter Basket
The filter basket is the key to smooth, efficient juicing. Here are the steps to cleaning your filter basket:
Cleaning the filter basket video
- Stop Juicing and unplug the juicer.
- Once the motor has stopped, disassemble the juicer.
- Remove the stainless-steel filter basket and thoroughly clean the mesh walls with the cleaning brush
- Rinse the filter basket under hot water
- If the fine mesh holes of the filter basket are blocked, soak the filter basket in hot water with 10% lemon juice (about 1/4 cup per quart of water) or wash the filter basket in the top rack of the dishwasher.
- You should be able to see through the mesh walls when they are held up to light. If you can't see through the mesh and cleaning has not changed this, please reach out to us for assistance or find a new filter basket here
Cleaning Other Removable Parts
While cleaning methods vary slightly by juicer model, the general approach is:
-
Wash all removable parts (such as the juicing cone, filter, juice collector, and pulp bin) in warm, soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge.
-
Rinse and dry thoroughly before reassembling.
-
Many removable parts are top-rack dishwasher safe—check your manual for confirmation.
Caring for the Motor Base
The motor base contains the electrical components and should never be submerged in water.
-
Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap.
-
Dry with a soft towel before storing.
