4. Assembly

Before first use, wash all detachable parts (except the motor unit) with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Assemble the juicer by following these steps:

1. Place the juicing bowl onto the motor unit, ensuring it is securely seated.
2. Insert your chosen filter (fine, coarse, or sorbet accessory) into the juicing bowl. Ensure it aligns correctly.
3. Place the auger into the center of the filter, twisting slightly until it drops into place.
4. Attach the feeding chute assembly onto the juicing bowl, aligning the marks and rotating until it locks securely.
5. Position the juice and pulp containers under their respective spouts.
6. Ensure the juice spout cap is closed before starting the juicing process.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Ingredient Preparation

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• Peel citrus fruits, pineapples, and other fruits with thick or inedible skins.
• Remove large seeds, pits, and hard cores (e.g., apple cores, peach pits).
• Cut ingredients into pieces small enough to fit into the feeding chute. For fibrous vegetables like celery or ginger, cut them into short pieces (1-2 cm) to prevent clogging.
• For sorbets, ensure fruits are frozen solid.

5.2. Juicing Process

1. Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled and the juice spout cap is closed.
2. Plug the appliance into a power outlet.
3. Turn on the juicer using the power switch.
4. Gradually feed prepared ingredients into the feeding chute. Use the pusher gently to guide ingredients down. Do not force ingredients.
5. The juicer will extract juice into the juice container and separate pulp into the pulp container.
6. Once juicing is complete, turn off the appliance and unplug it.
7. Open the juice spout cap to dispense the juice.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Disassembly: Reverse the assembly steps to carefully take apart the juicing bowl, filter, auger, and feeding chute.
2. Pre-cleaning: Immediately after use, pour a glass of water into the feeding chute while the juicer is running for a few seconds. This helps flush out residual pulp.
3. Washing Parts: Wash all detachable parts (juicing bowl, filter, auger, feeding chute, containers, pusher) under warm running water with a mild dish soap. Use the provided cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the filter meshes, as pulp can easily get trapped.
4. Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse it in water.
5. Drying and Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer. Store in a clean, dry place.

Important: The detachable parts are not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is required to prevent damage.
