  • Juicing Cone: Transparent cone designed to extract juice from citrus fruits.
  • Pulp Filter: Sits below the juicing cone to separate pulp and seeds from the juice.
  • Juice Collector: Collects the extracted juice before it is dispensed.
  • Anti-Drip Pouring Spout: Allows direct dispensing of juice into a glass and prevents drips when closed.
  • Motor Base: Contains the motor and power cord storage.
  • Plastic Protection Cover: Covers the cone when not in use.

Setup and First Use

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
  2. Clean: Before first use, wash all removable parts (juicing cone, pulp filter, juice collector, protection cover) in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
  3. Assemble: Place the juice collector onto the motor base. Then, place the pulp filter into the juice collector, ensuring it sits correctly. Finally, place the juicing cone onto the filter.
  4. Position: Place the assembled juicer on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
  5. Connect Power: Unwind the power cord from the base and plug the appliance into a 110V electrical outlet.

  1. Prepare Fruit: Cut citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits) in half.
  2. Place Glass: Position a glass or container under the anti-drip pouring spout. Ensure the spout is open to allow juice flow.
  3. Start Juicing: Place a fruit half onto the juicing cone. Apply gentle downward pressure. The juicer will automatically activate when pressure is detected.
  4. Extract Juice: Continue pressing and rotating the fruit until all juice is extracted. The automatic fruit pressure detection ensures optimal juice extraction.
  5. Stop Juicing: Release pressure from the cone to stop the motor.
  6. Close Spout: After juicing, push the anti-drip pouring spout upwards to prevent any remaining drips.
  7. Unplug: Once finished, unplug the appliance from the power outlet.

Tip: For best results, use fresh, ripe citrus fruits at room temperature.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your juicer.

  1. Unplug: Always unplug the juicer from the power outlet before cleaning.
  2. Disassemble: Remove the plastic protection cover, juicing cone, pulp filter, and juice collector from the motor base.
  3. Wash Removable Parts: All removable parts are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, wash them by hand in warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush if necessary to remove pulp residue from the filter. Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Clean Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
  5. Dry: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
  6. Storage: Store the juicer with the plastic protection cover on the cone and the cord stored in the base of the unit to keep it tidy and protected.
