Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your Hurom SJ-200B Slow Juicer before first use.

1. Place the motor base on a stable, flat surface.
2. Align the juicing bowl (drum assembly) with the motor base and rotate it clockwise until it locks into place.
3. Insert the spinning brush into the juicing bowl.
4. Place either the fine or coarse screen inside the spinning brush, ensuring it sits securely.
5. Insert the auger into the center of the screen, pressing down and rotating slightly until it settles firmly.
6. Place the hopper onto the juicing bowl, aligning the red dot on the hopper with the red dot on the juicing bowl, then rotate clockwise until it locks.
7. Position the juice cup under the juice outlet and the pulp cup under the pulp outlet.
8. Ensure the pulp extraction plug is correctly inserted.
9. Plug the power cord into a 220V electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Ingredient Preparation

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• Remove large seeds, pits, and hard skins (e.g., pineapple, melon, citrus).
• Cut ingredients into pieces that fit easily into the feeding chute. For fibrous vegetables like celery or leafy greens, cut them into shorter lengths (approx. 1-2 inches) to prevent clogging.

2. Juicing Process

1. With the juicer assembled and plugged in, turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
2. Slowly feed prepared ingredients into the feeding chute. Do not force ingredients down; allow the auger to pull them in naturally.
3. Use the tamper only if necessary to gently guide ingredients.
4. Juice will flow from the juice outlet, and pulp will be expelled from the pulp outlet.
5. For continuous juicing, ensure the juice and pulp cups do not overflow.
6. After juicing, turn the power switch to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.

3. Tips for Optimal Juicing

• Alternate between soft and hard ingredients to maintain efficient juicing.
• For leafy greens and wheatgrass, feed them in small batches.
• The dual-stage extraction process ensures maximum yield and dry pulp.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your Hurom SJ-200B Slow Juicer.

1. Disassembly

3. Remove the auger, then the screen and spinning brush.
4. Rotate the juicing bowl counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it from the motor base.

2. Cleaning

• Thorough Cleaning: Immediately after each use, rinse all detachable parts (hopper, auger, screens, spinning brush, juicing bowl, cups) under running water.
• Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any pulp residue from the screens and other components. Pay special attention to the fine mesh of the screens.
