20 Most Recent Salton JM411 Juiceman II Elite Juicer Questions & Answers

Generally you will have good luck with this item - however after using it for a while here is the problem people are stating in other reviews. You cannot get the basket our for cleaning. Unfortunately there are no instructions or troubleshooting or anything on the manufacturer's website for fixing this..

Here's the problem...There are 3 little captured balls on the basket that engage into holes into the juicer to hold it into place when you load it. The problem is that over time - the balls get juice in them. Then you store the thing with the basket locked into the juicer. Then from sitting in your cupboard - the juice dries and the balls are stuck. When they get very sticky they do not float in their cavity they are stuck. Then after you juice the next time - you cannot get basket off. basket is stuck and you will destroy the juicer if you try to pry it out with excessive force.
If you have this problem and you are lucky enough to be reading this - I have figured out the fix on my own...

You need to fill up a large tupperware, rubbermaid, whatever - bowl about 3 inches deep with hot water. Then take the juicer with the clear cover off and flip it upside down and into the hot water. Make sure the water is covering the entire basket area, but not so deep it goes into the motor area. I let it soak for about 3 hours, but I don't think you will need to do it for that long. When I took it out of the water I was able to pry the basket out with very little force. This is when I discovered this flawed design with the balls.

I used it probably for a year or so about 40 or 50 times without this issue, but let it sit for about 4 months - which is why I believe it caused these balls with juice in them to get so frozen I couldn't remove it.

Good luck. It worked for me.. this should work for you!

I had the same problem with my Salton juicer, after making a delicious juice it was almost impossible to remove the auger like many of you, with patience and lots of elbow grease I manage to take apart. Here is my solution to this problem and it works very well for me, its simple, before juicing, disassemble your juicer and add a little oil with your finger on the silicon seal (inside and outside) see picture attached, assemble the juicer. After juicing, remove the cover, don't try removing the auger, instead grab the basket and wobble it and it should get free, it works for me and it should work for you too. Happy juicing to all!

If this isn't an exact match, it should be pretty darn close (Juiceman 210 series):http://common.csnstores.com/common/marketing/jcm1003_user_manual.pdf

I have a manual for the 211, let me know if you're interested and I can scan it.

how do you take the grater off the juiceman2 the part that the fruits and vegetables get grated.

Please accept the solution if it's helpful. Do get back to us for any further query.

Thanks for contacting fixya.com

(1) Remove the food plunger and top cover; (2) unscrew the 3 screws from the blade/cutter plate and lift it off its base; (3) Unscrew the plastic base COUNTERWISE and lift it off of the center spindle; (4) Now you can remove the basket and juice bowl for cleaning.

To reassemble, reverse the process.

thank you...thank you...I was frustrated not being able to get the blade out of machine...

I am assuming your juicer is the same as mine. The JC-6 White with "Vitamin Bar" and a carrot on the front.
There is most likely a tool that you insert in the back slot, but since I don't know of one, I had to get creative.
First unplug the juicer and undo the side locks, remove the clear cap. Look in the back, there is a 2-inch wide slot where you can see the motor and locking mechanism.
Take a butter knife and hold the mechanism in place. Use your other hand or have a partner spin the mesh/bladed bowl counter-clockwise.
With just some effort and a small "pop" noise, the piece should be free.
I searched forever for a solution, I hope someone with a similar plight finds this helpful.

Contact a seller on EBAY for the 1961 model manual, if that is the same model. Example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Salton-Vitamin-Bar-Deluxe-Fruit-Vegetable-Juicer-Model-JC-3-/163646534330?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10#viTabs_0
