Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the juicer from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.

- Assembly: The juicer consists of two interlocking halves. Ensure they fit together securely when not in use, and separate them for juicing.

Operating Instructions
- Prepare Fruit: Cut your citrus fruit (lime, lemon) in half. For best results, ensure the fruit is at room temperature.
- Position Fruit: Place one half of the citrus fruit cut-side down into one of the juicer halves. The raised ridges inside the juicer are designed to extract maximum juice.
- Juice Extraction: Bring the two halves of the juicer together and press firmly. The juice will collect in the bottom half and can be poured out through the spout.
- Repeat: Repeat the process for additional fruit halves as needed.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: After each use, separate the two halves of the juicer. Wash immediately with warm, soapy water to prevent pulp and juice residue from drying. Rinse thoroughly.
- Dishwasher Safety: This specific model is indicated as not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the product's integrity and finish.
- Drying: Allow both halves to air dry completely or dry with a soft cloth before storing.
- Storage: Store the clean, dry juicer in a cupboard or drawer. The two halves can be nested together for compact storage.
Troubleshooting
- Low Juice Yield:
- Ensure fruit is at room temperature. Cold fruit yields less juice.
- Press firmly and twist the fruit slightly while pressing to extract more juice.
- Use fresh, ripe fruit.
- Seeds in Juice:
- The juicer is designed to catch most seeds. If small seeds pass through, a fine mesh strainer can be used to filter the juice.
