5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Ingredient Preparation

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• The 5.3-inch wide feed chute accommodates whole fruits and vegetables, reducing the need for pre-cutting. However, for very fibrous or large items, cutting into smaller pieces may improve efficiency and prevent blockages.
• Remove hard pits from fruits (e.g., peaches, plums) and tough skins (e.g., pineapple, citrus) before juicing.

5.2 Juicing Process

1. Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and the collection cups are in place.
2. Plug in the juicer.
3. Turn the control knob to the 'ON' position. The juicer will begin operating with its 60 RPM fine grinding process.
4. Slowly feed ingredients into the wide feed chute. The automatic juicing mechanism will process them.
5. Observe the juice flowing into the juice cup and pulp into the pulp cup.
6. Once juicing is complete, turn the control knob to the 'OFF' position.

5.3 Anti-Drip Function

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your juicer. All removable parts are dishwasher safe.

1. Turn off the machine and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Before disassembling, apply the reverse function (REV position) for 3-5 seconds to free the auger and clear any remaining pulp.
3. Fully open the lid and lock it in place.
4. Disassemble the juicing chamber, auger, and filter system.
5. Rinse all removable parts under running water. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any stubborn pulp from the filter mesh.

7. Troubleshooting Guide

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common solutions:

• Juicer does not turn on: Ensure the locking markers are aligned when installing the cup and the lid is tightly closed. The safety lock prevents operation if not correctly assembled.
• Blockages during juicing: Switch to the 'REV' (Reverse) position for 3-5 seconds to dislodge ingredients. Then switch back to 'ON'.
• Difficulty disassembling: Apply the reverse function (REV) for 3-5 seconds to free the auger before attempting to disassemble.
• Low juice yield or wet pulp: Ensure ingredients are fresh. For fibrous ingredients, cut into smaller pieces. The triple filter system is designed for high yield, but excessive pulp buildup can reduce efficiency. Clean the filter regularly.
