Operating Instructions

Learn how to effectively use your QCen Juicer Machine for optimal results.

Preparing Produce

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• For fruits with hard pits or large seeds (e.g., peaches, mangoes), remove them before juicing.
• The 3-inch wide mouth feed chute can accommodate whole fruits and vegetables, reducing prep time. However, for very large items, cutting them into smaller pieces may be beneficial.
• Peeling is generally not necessary for most fruits and vegetables, but you may peel citrus fruits if you prefer to avoid the bitterness of the rind.

Using the Dual Speed Control

The QCen Juicer features a dual-speed control for various types of produce:

• Speed "1" (12000-18000 RPM): Ideal for soft fruits and vegetables.
  • Examples: Watermelon, oranges, strawberries, grapes, tomatoes, kiwis, cucumbers.
• Speed "2" (12000-18000 RPM): Designed for harder fruits and vegetables.
  • Examples: Carrots, celery, apples, pears, ginger, beets, kale.

Juicing Process

1. Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and the juice pitcher is in place.
2. Plug the juicer into a suitable power outlet.
3. Turn the control dial to the desired speed setting ("1" or "2") based on the produce you are juicing.
4. Gradually feed the prepared fruits or vegetables into the feed chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide them down. Do not force the produce.
5. The fresh juice will flow into the juice pitcher, and the pulp will be collected in the pulp container.
6. When finished juicing, turn the control dial to "0" (off) and unplug the appliance.
