CASO SJW 500 Design Slow Juicer Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the CASO SJW 500 Design Slow Juicer. This appliance is designed to extract juice from fruits, vegetables, and herbs efficiently, preserving nutrients through its slow juicing technology. This manual provides essential information for safe operation, assembly, use, and maintenance of your new slow juicer.

The CASO SJW 500 features a large 75 mm filling opening, allowing for whole fruits like apples and pears to be juiced without extensive pre-cutting. Its slow rotation speed (50-60 RPM) minimizes heat generation and oxidation, resulting in a higher yield of nutrient-rich juice compared to traditional juicers. The device also includes a special sieve for preparing sorbets, expanding its versatility.

4. Setup and Assembly

Before first use, wash all removable parts (except the motor base) with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Ensure the appliance is unplugged during assembly.

1. Place the motor base on a stable, flat surface.
2. Insert the sieve frame onto the motor base, aligning the arrows or indicators.
3. Place the desired sieve (juice or sorbet) into the sieve frame.
4. Insert the auger into the center of the sieve.
5. Attach the juicing chamber assembly onto the motor base, ensuring it locks securely into place.
6. Place the juice container under the juice outlet and the pulp container under the pulp outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your slow juicer:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash all fruits, vegetables, or herbs thoroughly. For ingredients larger than the 75mm chute, cut them into smaller pieces. Remove hard pits from fruits (e.g., peaches, plums) and tough skins (e.g., pineapple, citrus).
2. Power On: Plug the juicer into a suitable power outlet. Turn the control switch to the 'ON' position.
3. Feed Ingredients: Slowly feed the prepared ingredients into the feeding chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide them down. Do not force ingredients, as this can strain the motor.
4. Juicing Process: The auger will slowly crush and press the ingredients, separating the juice from the pulp. Fresh juice will flow into the juice container, and pulp will be expelled into the pulp container.
5. Drip-Stop Function: The juice outlet features a drip-stop. Close it to prevent drips between juicing sessions or when changing juice containers. Open it to allow juice to flow.
6. Reverse Function: If ingredients become jammed, switch the control to 'REV' (Reverse) for a few seconds to clear the blockage, then switch back to 'ON'.
7. Finish Juicing: Once all ingredients are juiced, turn the control switch to 'OFF' and unplug the appliance.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Disassembly: Disassemble the juicer in reverse order of assembly.
2. Rinse Parts: Rinse all removable parts (juicing chamber, auger, sieve, sieve frame, juice/pulp containers, food pusher) under running water immediately after use to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
3. Clean Sieve: Use the provided cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the sieve. The fine mesh can trap small fibers, so careful brushing is essential.
4. Wash with Soap: Wash all removable parts with warm, soapy water.
5. Rinse and Dry: Rinse all parts thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
6. Clean Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
