1. Cut the citrus fruit (e.g., orange, lemon) in half.
2. Remove the protective lid.
3. Place one half of the fruit onto the reamer.
4. Press down firmly on the fruit. The juicer will automatically start extracting juice due to its pressure activation feature.

7. Repeat with remaining fruit halves until the desired amount of juice is collected in the pitcher.
8. Once finished, unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
