5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal juice extraction:

1. Preparation: Fruits and vegetables need to be chopped or grated into small pieces before usage to achieve an exceptionally high juice yield and reduce waste. For berries, ensure they are thoroughly washed.
2. Insert Filter Bag: Place a filter bag (if desired, not included with all models) inside the perforated inner container. This helps to further strain the juice and contain pulp.
3. Load Fruit/Vegetable: Fill the inner container with your prepared fruit or vegetable pulp. Do not overfill.
4. Position Pressing Plate: Place the round inner plate on top of the fruit/vegetable in the inner container.
5. Begin Pressing: Turn the T-handle clockwise to lower the screw mechanism and apply pressure to the pressing plate. Continue turning slowly and steadily.
6. Collect Juice: As pressure is applied, juice will begin to flow out of the spout into your collection vessel via the clear soft hose. Continue pressing until the juice flow significantly reduces.
7. Release Pressure: Once pressing is complete, turn the T-handle counter-clockwise to release the pressure and raise the screw mechanism.
8. Remove Pulp: Carefully remove the pressing plate, inner container, and discard the compressed pulp.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your fruit press:

• Pulp Preparation: Always pulp fruits before use to ensure efficient pressing and prevent damage.
• Spindle Tightness: Ensure the central spindle is fully tightened at all times during operation.
• Immediate Cleaning: Clean the press immediately after completing your work. Use a pressure washer hose and a brush to remove all fruit residues.
• Lubrication: All moving parts, especially the screw mechanism, should be lubricated regularly using food-grade oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Low Juice Yield: Ensure fruits are chopped or grated into very small pieces. Larger pieces may not release juice efficiently. Apply slow, consistent pressure.
• Difficulty Turning Handle: If the handle is hard to turn, check if the fruit pulp is too dense or if hard items were accidentally loaded. Ensure the screw mechanism is clean and lubricated.
• Leaking from Base: Verify that all components are correctly assembled and tightened. Ensure the outer container is properly seated on the base.
• Pulp in Juice: Use a filter bag inside the inner container to minimize pulp. Ensure the inner container's perforations are not blocked.
