Operating Instructions

Before juicing, ensure all components are correctly assembled and the safety locking bar is engaged.

1. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. For larger items, cut them into smaller pieces that fit into the feed chute. Remove hard pits from fruits like peaches or plums. Peeling is generally not necessary for most fruits and vegetables, but you may peel citrus fruits to avoid a bitter taste.
2. Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet.
3. Turn the control dial to the desired speed setting: I (low speed) for softer fruits and vegetables (e.g., berries, tomatoes) or II (high speed) for harder fruits and vegetables (e.g., carrots, apples).
4. Gradually feed the prepared fruits and vegetables into the feed chute using the food pusher. Do not force the food down, as this can affect the juicer's performance and potentially damage the motor.
5. The fresh juice will flow into the juice jug, and the pulp will collect in the pulp container.
6. Once juicing is complete, turn the control dial to the '0' (off) position and unplug the appliance from the power outlet.

Tips for Best Results:

• Process softer ingredients before harder ones to prevent clogging.
• Do not overload the juicer. Feed ingredients at a steady pace.
• For maximum juice extraction, ensure the filter basket is clean before each use.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your juice extractor. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

1. Turn the control dial to '0' and unplug the appliance.
2. Remove the food pusher.
3. Unlatch the safety locking bar and remove the transparent lid.
4. Carefully remove the filter basket and the juice collector/spout.
5. Empty the pulp container and the juice jug.
6. Rinse all detachable parts (food pusher, lid, filter basket, juice collector, pulp container, juice jug) under running water immediately after use to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
7. Use a cleaning brush (if provided) to thoroughly clean the mesh of the filter basket. Dried pulp can be difficult to remove.
8. Most detachable parts are dishwasher safe. Refer to the product care instructions for specific details.
9. Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid.
10. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling or storing.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your juice extractor, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• Appliance does not start:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet.
  • Ensure the safety locking bar is correctly engaged over the lid. The juicer has a safety interlock system.
• Low juice yield or excessive pulp:
  • Ensure the filter basket is clean and free from blockages.
  • Use the appropriate speed setting for the type of fruit or vegetable.
  • Feed ingredients slowly and steadily, do not overload.
• Motor stops during operation:
  • The juicer may have overheated due to continuous use or overloading. Turn off the appliance, unplug it, and let it cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before resuming.

• Vibration or excessive noise:
  • Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and securely locked.
