5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Preparing Ingredients:

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• For whole fruits like apples and oranges, the 74mm feeding tube allows direct insertion. For other produce, cut into pieces that fit comfortably into the feeder chute.
• Remove hard pits from fruits (e.g., peaches, plums, cherries) and tough seeds (e.g., mangoes).
• Peel citrus fruits before juicing.

5.2 Juicing Process:

1. Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn the juicer ON using the control switch.
3. Slowly feed the prepared ingredients into the feeder chute. Use the pusher only if necessary to gently guide the food down. Do not force ingredients.
4. The juicer will automatically separate the juice into the juice container and the pulp into the pulp container.
5. When finished, turn the juicer OFF and unplug it from the power outlet.

5.3 Reverse Function:

If ingredients get jammed or the juicer stops during operation, press and hold the 'REV' (Reverse) switch for a few seconds. This will reverse the auger's rotation to clear the blockage. Release the switch to return to normal operation. If the jam persists, turn off the juicer, unplug it, disassemble, and clear the blockage manually.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your juicer. Always unplug the juicer before cleaning.

6.1 Pre-Cleaning:

For quick pre-cleaning between different types of produce, or to loosen residue, fill the chamber with water and allow the juicer to run for approximately 1 minute. This helps flush out remaining pulp.

6.2 Thorough Cleaning:

1. Disassemble all detachable parts: feeder chute, auger, filter, filter support, BPA free container, juice container, and pulp container.
2. Rinse all parts under running water to remove large pulp residues.
3. Use the provided cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the filter/strainer, as fine mesh can retain pulp.
4. Wash all detachable parts with warm soapy water. All detachable parts are dishwasher safe.
5. Rinse thoroughly and allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
6. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
