Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to extract fresh juice using your KITOART Masticating Juicer Attachment:

1. Prepare Produce: Wash and cut fruits and vegetables into pieces small enough to fit into the feed tube. For best results, remove hard seeds, pits, and thick peels (e.g., citrus rinds) to prevent bitterness and potential clogging.
2. Select Speed: Plug in your KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Set the mixer speed to 1 or 2 for optimal juicing. Higher speeds are generally not recommended for masticating juicers.
3. Begin Juicing: Turn on the mixer. Gradually feed the prepared fruits and vegetables into the feed tube. Use the food pusher to gently guide the produce down. Do not force the produce.
4. Collect Juice and Pulp: The juicer will automatically separate the juice and pulp into their respective collecting cups.
5. Continuous Juicing: Continue feeding produce until you have the desired amount of juice.
6. Finish: Once juicing is complete, turn off the KitchenAid Stand Mixer and unplug it.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your juicer attachment. The attachment is NOT dishwasher safe and should only be hand washed.

1. Disassembly: After unplugging the mixer, reverse the assembly steps to detach the juicer from the mixer and separate all its components (food pusher, food tray, housing, auger, fine strainer, lock).
2. Rinse: Rinse all detachable parts under warm running water to remove any large pulp residue.
3. Clean with Brush: Use the provided cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the fine strainer and other components, paying special attention to small crevices where pulp might accumulate.
4. Wash with Soap: Wash all parts with warm, soapy water.
5. Rinse and Dry: Rinse all parts thoroughly to remove soap residue. Allow them to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using your KITOART Masticating Juicer Attachment, consider the following common solutions:

• Clogging: If the juicer clogs, turn off the mixer immediately. Disassemble the attachment and clear any blockages in the auger or strainer. Ensure produce is cut into appropriate sizes and hard elements are removed.
• Low Juice Yield: Ensure the mixer speed is set to 1 or 2. Overly fibrous or dry ingredients may yield less juice. Pre-soaking some fibrous vegetables can sometimes help.
• Attachment Not Fitting Securely: Double-check that the attachment hub knob is fully tightened and the drive shaft is correctly aligned with the mixer's hub socket.
• Excessive Pulp in Juice: Ensure the fine strainer is clean and properly installed.
