- Place the motor unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
- Insert the pulp receiver onto the motor unit.
- Place the spinner assembly (fine cutter and clear filter) securely into the pulp receiver. Ensure it clicks into place.
- Position the lid onto the pulp receiver, aligning the spout with the opening. Lock the lid into place if your model has a locking mechanism.

5. Operating Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Cut larger items into pieces that fit easily into the feed chute. Remove hard pits, large seeds, and tough skins (e.g., pineapple, melon).
- Start Juicing:
- Ensure the juice cup is placed under the spout.
- Press the ON button (labeled '入' or 'On') on the front of the motor unit to start the juicer.
- Slowly feed the prepared ingredients into the feed chute. Use the pusher to gently guide them down. Do not force ingredients, as this can damage the motor or reduce juice yield.
- The juicer will separate the juice into the cup and the pulp into the pulp receiver.
- Drip Prevention: To prevent juice from dripping after juicing, gently lift the spout upwards. This will stop the flow of any remaining juice.
- Stop Juicing: When finished, press the OFF button (labeled '切' or 'Off') to stop the motor. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
Lift the spout to prevent drips after juicing.

- Disassembly: Disassemble the juicer in reverse order of assembly: remove the pusher, juice cup, lid, spinner assembly, and pulp receiver.
- Cleaning Components:
- Spinner and Clear Filter: These parts require thorough cleaning immediately after use to prevent pulp from drying and hardening. Use the included cleaning brush or a sponge with warm, soapy water to remove all pulp residue from the mesh filter.
- Pulp Receiver, Juice Cup, Lid, Pusher: Wash these parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Motor Unit: Wipe the exterior of the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water or rinse it under running water.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your juicer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; improper assembly; overheat protection activated. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Check that all parts are correctly assembled and locked. If overheated, unplug and let cool for 30 minutes. |
| Low juice yield or excessive pulp in juice. | Ingredients fed too quickly; filter clogged; soft fruits/vegetables. | Feed ingredients slowly and gently. Clean the filter thoroughly. Some soft produce naturally yields less juice. |
| Motor stops during operation. | Overload or overheat protection activated. | Unplug the juicer immediately. Remove any jammed ingredients. Let the motor cool down for at least 30 minutes before restarting. Reduce the amount of ingredients fed at once. |
| Loud noise or vibration. | Improper assembly; hard ingredients. | Check that all parts are correctly assembled and securely locked. Ensure ingredients are cut to appropriate sizes and do not contain hard pits. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact customer support.
