Setup

Before first use, wash both the lemon squeezer and zester thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse them completely and dry them with a clean cloth. The product is ready for immediate use after cleaning.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal juice extraction:

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Select a fresh lemon, lime, or other small citrus fruit. For best results, roll the fruit on a hard surface with slight pressure before cutting to help release more juice.
  2. Cut the Fruit: Cut the citrus fruit in half. For larger lemons or oranges, you may cross-cut the halves into quarters for easier fit and more efficient juicing.
  3. Place in Squeezer: Open the lemon squeezer handles. Place one half of the fruit into the bowl of the squeezer, with the cut side facing down (towards the holes).
  4. Squeeze: Firmly press the handles together. The design ensures that the juice is extracted efficiently while seeds and pulp are retained in the bowl.
  5. Collect Juice: Position a glass or bowl underneath the squeezer to collect the fresh juice.
