Important Safety Instructions
- Always ensure the juicer is placed on a stable, flat surface before operation.
- Do not operate the juicer with wet hands or near water.
- Keep hands and utensils away from moving parts during operation.
- Unplug the appliance from the power outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning.
- Avoid using hard or fibrous ingredients like Amla and sugarcane, as they may damage the juicer.
- If you notice a burning smell during the first use, this is normal due to the motor varnish heating. If it persists after initial uses, contact customer support.
- Do not immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid.
- This appliance is for household use only.
Setup and Assembly
Before using your Rico Electric Juicer for the first time, follow these steps:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Clean: Wash all removable parts (juice collector, pulp collector, lid, filter, pusher) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. The main motor unit should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
- Assemble:
- Place the motor unit on a stable, dry surface.
- Position the juice collector and pulp collector correctly.
- Insert the filter basket onto the motor unit, ensuring it is securely seated.
- Place the lid onto the juicer, aligning it properly and locking any safety clamps if present.
- Ensure the pusher is ready for use.

Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to extract juice from fruits and vegetables:
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Cut them into pieces small enough to fit through the feeding tube. Remove large seeds and hard pits.
- Power On: Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet. Switch on the juicer.
- Juicing Process:
- Gradually feed the prepared fruit or vegetable pieces into the feeding tube.
- Use the pusher to gently guide the ingredients down. Apply light pressure only.
- The extracted juice will flow into the juice collector, and the pulp will be automatically collected in the pulp collector.
- Continue extracting juice continuously, but avoid running the juicer unnecessarily when not processing ingredients.
- Handling Citrus Fruits: For citrus fruits like oranges or sweet limes, cut them diametrically to expose the seeds. Peel off the skin. Introduce the fruit with its seeds exposed into the juicer.
Important: Do not use the pusher for citrus fruits. The seeds will pop out automatically, preventing them from being crushed and keeping the juice from becoming bitter. - Emptying Collectors: When the pulp container or juice collector is full, stop the machine, empty the contents, re-assemble the parts, and continue juicing.
- Power Off: Once juicing is complete, switch off the juicer and unplug it from the power outlet.

- Disassembly: Unplug the juicer. Disassemble all removable parts: pusher, lid, filter basket, juice collector, and pulp collector.
- Washing:
- Wash all removable parts by hand using warm soapy water.
- For the blade and filter basket, rinse thoroughly and use a soft brush to gently remove any pulp residue.
- The motor unit should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water.
- All removable parts are dishwasher safe.
- Drying and Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer. Store in a clean, dry place.
