4. Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your juicer before use:

1. Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
2. Align the juicing bowl with the motor base and rotate it clockwise until it locks securely into place.
3. Insert the juicing screw (auger) into the center of the juicing bowl.
4. Place the stainless steel sieve over the juicing screw, ensuring it sits correctly within the bowl.
5. Position the lid with the feeding chute onto the juicing bowl. Rotate it clockwise until the interlocking system engages and the lid is firmly secured. An arrow indicator on the lid and base will help align for "close" position.
6. Place juice and pulp collection containers under their respective outlets.
7. Ensure the juice outlet cap is closed if you wish to mix juice inside the bowl before dispensing.

5. Operating Instructions

Prepare your ingredients and begin juicing:

1. Ingredient Preparation: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Remove large seeds, pits, and hard skins (e.g., pineapple, melon). Cut ingredients into pieces small enough to fit into the feeding chute.
2. Power On: Plug the juicer into a 230V power outlet. Press the 'ON' button to start the juicer.
3. Feeding Ingredients: Slowly feed the prepared ingredients into the feeding chute. Use the food pusher gently to guide them down. Do not force ingredients, as this can strain the motor.
4. Juice Extraction: The slow juicing technology will gently press the ingredients, separating the juice from the pulp. Juice will flow from the juice outlet, and pulp will be expelled from the pulp outlet.
5. Reverse Function: If ingredients get clogged, press and hold the 'REV' (Reverse) button for a few seconds to clear the blockage. Release the button, then press 'ON' to resume juicing.
6. Finishing: Once juicing is complete, press the 'OFF' button and unplug the appliance.

Note: For maximum extraction and to prevent clogging, alternate between soft and hard ingredients.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Disassembly: Turn off and unplug the juicer. Rotate the lid counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it. Remove the stainless steel sieve and juicing screw from the juicing bowl. Finally, unlock and remove the juicing bowl from the motor base.
2. Rinsing: Rinse all detachable parts (lid, juicing screw, sieve, juicing bowl, food pusher) under running water immediately after use. This prevents pulp from drying and sticking.
3. Cleaning the Sieve: Use the provided cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the stainless steel sieve. Pay special attention to the small mesh holes to remove any trapped pulp.
4. Washing: All detachable parts are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse it in water.
6. Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer in a clean, dry place.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Prestige Squeezo Slow Juicer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Juicer does not start:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Verify that all parts are correctly assembled and the interlocking system is engaged. The juicer will not operate if not properly assembled.
• Juicer stops during operation or gets clogged:
  • Ingredients may be too large or too much has been fed at once. Turn off the juicer, press and hold the 'REV' button for a few seconds to clear the blockage, then restart.
