Operating Instructions

Juicing Fruits and Vegetables

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. For best results, cut ingredients into 1-inch pieces. Remove any hard seeds, pits, or thick peels.
2. Start Juicer: Turn the power switch to the 'ON' position.
3. Feed Ingredients: Slowly feed the prepared ingredients into the feeding tube. Use the ingredient pusher gently to guide them down. Avoid forcing ingredients, as the auger will pull them through.
4. Collect Juice and Pulp: Fresh juice will flow into the juice collecting cup, and pulp will be expelled into the pulp measuring cup.
5. Finish Juicing: Once all ingredients are processed, allow the juicer to run for a few more seconds to extract any remaining juice. Turn the power switch to 'OFF'.

Making Frozen Treats (Sorbet)

To make frozen treats, replace the standard juicing filter with the included Frozen Attachment.

1. Prepare Frozen Fruit: Use pre-frozen fruits (e.g., bananas, berries, mangoes). Ensure fruits are cut into small pieces if large.
2. Assemble with Frozen Attachment: Ensure the Frozen Attachment is correctly installed in the juicing chamber.
3. Process Fruit: Turn the juicer 'ON' and slowly feed the frozen fruit pieces into the feeding tube. Use the pusher to guide them.
4. Collect Sorbet: The frozen fruit will be processed into a smooth sorbet-like consistency and dispensed into the collecting cup.

Care and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your juicer.

1. Disassembly: Turn off and unplug the juicer. Disassemble all removable parts by twisting and lifting them off the motor base.
2. Rinse: Rinse all disassembled parts under running water to remove large pulp residues.
3. Hand Wash: Wash all removable parts with warm, soapy water. Use the included cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the filter screen and any areas with stubborn pulp.
4. Dry: Dry all parts completely before reassembling or storing.
5. Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.

Important: The juicer parts are not dishwasher safe and must be hand washed only.

Troubleshooting

• Juicer Not Turning On: Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and securely locked into place. The juicer has a safety mechanism that prevents operation if not properly assembled.
• Ingredients Getting Stuck: If ingredients become jammed, turn the juicer off, then use the 'R' (Reverse) function on the power switch to clear the blockage. Always cut ingredients into 1-inch pieces to prevent jamming.
• Excessive Pulp in Juice: Ensure the filter screen is clean and properly installed. The masticating process is designed for efficient pulp separation.
• Voltage Compatibility: This appliance is designed for 120V use only. Using it with incompatible voltage (e.g., 220V in some regions) can cause damage or malfunction.
