Troubleshooting
- Low Juice Yield: Ensure fruit is fresh and ripe. Apply firm, steady pressure to the handle. For very large fruits, consider cutting them into smaller, more manageable pieces.
- Juicer Instability: Verify that the juicer is placed on a flat, stable surface. The thickened pedestal is designed for stability, but uneven surfaces can cause movement.
- Pulp in Juice: Check that the strainer cone is correctly seated in the funnel. The design is intended to minimize pulp.
- Difficulty Pressing: Ensure the fruit is properly centered on the cone. If the mechanism feels stiff, check for any obstructions or ensure all parts are correctly assembled.
