4. Setup and Assembly

3. Insert the auger (worm) into the straining mechanism, ensuring it aligns with the motor's drive shaft.
4. Slide the straining screen over the auger, making sure it fits snugly.
5. Attach the chute/discharge spout and the waste chute to their respective positions.
6. Place the stainless steel hopper onto the top of the straining mechanism.
7. Ensure all connections are firm and secure before plugging the unit into a power outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

Prepare your produce and operate the strainer as follows:

5.1. Produce Preparation:

• Tomatoes: Wash tomatoes thoroughly. For best results, cut larger tomatoes into smaller pieces that fit easily into the hopper. You may use fresh or cooked tomatoes. Cooking tomatoes slightly can help yield more juice.
• Apples: Wash apples. Remove cores and cut apples into pieces suitable for the hopper.

5.2. Operation:

1. Place a collection bowl or pan under the puree discharge spout and another under the waste chute.
2. Plug the appliance into a suitable 220 Volt electrical outlet.
3. Turn on the machine.
4. Carefully feed the prepared produce into the stainless steel hopper.
5. Use the food pusher to gently guide the produce down into the auger. Never use your fingers or other utensils to push food.
6. The machine will automatically separate the puree from the seeds and skin. Puree will exit through the main spout, and waste will exit through the side chute.
7. For maximum yield, you may run the discarded pulp through the machine a second time.
8. When finished, turn off the machine and unplug it from the power outlet.
