3. Assembly

Before first use, wash all removable parts (transparent cover, filter basket, pulp container, food pusher, juice jar) in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. The motor base should be wiped with a damp cloth.

1. Place the juicer base on a dry, flat, stable surface.
2. Insert the stainless steel filter basket into the juicer base, ensuring it is seated firmly.
3. Place the transparent cover over the filter basket, aligning the juice spout with the opening on the base.
4. Position the pulp container under the pulp ejection chute at the back of the juicer.
5. Lift the safety locking bar and secure it into the grooves on the transparent cover. The juicer will not operate unless the locking bar is correctly engaged.
6. Place the graduated juice jar under the juice spout.
7. Insert the food pusher into the feed chute.

4. Operation

Follow these steps to operate your juice extractor safely and effectively.

1. Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and the safety locking bar is engaged.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Prepare fruits and vegetables: Wash all produce. For larger items, cut them into pieces that fit easily into the feed chute. Remove large seeds (e.g., from peaches, plums) and hard pits. Peeling is generally not necessary for most fruits and vegetables, but citrus fruits should be peeled to avoid bitterness.
4. Place the graduated juice jar under the juice spout.
5. Turn the control knob to the desired speed setting:
• Speed I (Low): Suitable for softer fruits and vegetables like oranges, grapes, tomatoes, and leafy greens.
• Speed II (High): Recommended for harder fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, celery, and beets.
6. With the motor running, gradually feed the prepared produce into the feed chute using the food pusher. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force food into the chute.
7. The juice will flow into the juice jar, and the pulp will collect in the pulp container.
8. When finished juicing, turn the control knob to the '0' (Off) position and unplug the appliance from the outlet.

Tips for Best Results:

• Juice firm fruits and vegetables immediately after washing.
• For maximum juice extraction, feed produce slowly.
• Do not overload the juicer. If the motor slows down significantly, reduce the amount of produce being fed.
• Empty the pulp container and juice jar before they become too full to prevent blockages.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your juicer.

1. Always unplug the juicer from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble the juicer by reversing the assembly steps.
3. All removable parts (food pusher, transparent cover, filter basket, pulp container, juice jar) are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them in warm, soapy water using a brush to clean the filter basket thoroughly. Rinse and dry completely.
4. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
5. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling or storing the juicer.
