Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your juicer before use:
- Place the motor base on a stable, flat surface.
- Align the juicing bowl with the motor base and rotate it clockwise until it locks into place.
- Insert the desired filter (fine, coarse, or sorbet) into the juicing bowl. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- Place the auger into the center of the filter and press down firmly.
- Attach the lid to the juicing bowl, aligning the marks, and rotate clockwise until it locks.
- Position the juice container under the juice spout and the pulp container under the pulp outlet.
Operating Instructions
Prepare your ingredients and operate the juicer as follows:
- Ingredient Preparation: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Cut ingredients into pieces small enough to fit into the feeding chute. Remove hard seeds, pits, and thick peels (e.g., pineapple skin, citrus peels).
- Filter Selection:
- Fine Filter: For clear, smooth juice with minimal pulp.
- Coarse Filter: For thicker juices or smoothies with more fiber.
- Sorbet Filter: For making frozen desserts from frozen fruits.

Figure 7: Sorbet filter, designed for creating delicious frozen fruit desserts, illustrated with strawberry sorbet. - Start Juicing: Plug in the appliance. Press the ON button. The juicer operates at a slow speed of approximately 60 RPM to minimize oxidation and preserve nutrients.
- Feeding Ingredients: Slowly feed prepared ingredients into the chute. Use the food pusher only if necessary to guide ingredients down. Do not force ingredients.
- Continuous Operation: The juicer is designed for continuous operation. However, if the motor becomes strained or overheated, switch it off and allow it to cool.
- Finish Juicing: Once all ingredients are processed, allow the juicer to run for a few more seconds to extract any remaining juice. Press the OFF button and unplug the appliance.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your juicer.
- Immediate Cleaning: For best results, clean the juicer immediately after each use. This prevents pulp from drying and sticking to parts.
- Disassembly: Unplug the appliance. Disassemble the juicer in reverse order of assembly: remove the lid, then the auger, then the filter, and finally the juicing bowl.
- Washing Parts: Rinse all removable parts (juicing bowl, auger, filters, lid, containers) under running water. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove pulp from the filters. Most removable parts are dishwasher safe.
- Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
- Drying and Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer. Store in a clean, dry place.
