Setup and Assembly

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all detachable parts (pulp container, juice jug, lid, food pusher, sieve) in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. The motor unit should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble:
   • Place the motor unit on a stable, flat surface.
   • Insert the pulp container onto the motor unit.
   • Place the stainless steel sieve securely into the motor unit.
   • Position the lid onto the motor unit, ensuring it aligns correctly with the locking clamps.
   • Engage the locking clamps on both sides of the appliance until they click into place. The appliance will not operate if the lid is not securely locked.
   • Place the juice jug under the juice spout.
   • Insert the food pusher into the feeding chute.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (220V).

Operating Instructions

Preparing Fruits and Vegetables

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• The extra-large 73mm feeding chute allows most fruits and vegetables to be juiced whole. For very large items, cut them into smaller pieces that fit comfortably into the chute.
• Remove large seeds (e.g., from peaches, plums) and hard pits.
• Peel citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits) as their peel can impart a bitter taste.

Juicing Process

1. Ensure the juice jug is placed under the juice spout.
2. Turn the control dial to the desired speed setting:
   • Speed 1: For soft fruits and vegetables (e.g., berries, tomatoes, grapes).
   • Speed 2: For hard fruits and vegetables (e.g., apples, carrots, celery).
3. Gradually feed the prepared fruits and vegetables into the feeding chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide them down. Do not apply excessive force.
4. The juicer uses a centrifugal extraction method, which rapidly grates and spins the produce to separate juice from pulp.
5. The anti-drip system prevents juice from dripping onto your countertop when the spout is closed. To activate, push the spout upwards after juicing.
6. When finished, turn the control dial to "O/off" and unplug the appliance.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your juicer. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

1. Disassemble: Unlock the clamps and carefully remove the lid, sieve, pulp container, and juice jug.
2. Rinse Immediately: Rinse all detachable parts under running water to prevent pulp and juice residue from drying.
3. Dishwasher Safe Parts: The pulp container, juice jug, lid, and food pusher are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
4. Cleaning the Sieve: The stainless steel fine sieve should be cleaned thoroughly after each use. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any trapped pulp fibers. For stubborn residue, soak the sieve in warm soapy water before scrubbing.
5. Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse it in water.
6. Dry and Store: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the appliance. Store in a clean, dry place.
