4. Operating Instructions
Your juicer is designed for efficient extraction of juice from various fruits and vegetables.
This video highlights the key features of the juicer, including its quiet operation and high juice yield.
Preparation:
- Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
- For best results, cut ingredients into pieces that fit easily into the 3-inch feed chute. Harder ingredients like carrots or ginger may benefit from smaller pieces.
- Remove large seeds, pits, and hard skins (e.g., pineapple, melon rinds).
Juicing Process:
- Plug the juicer into a power outlet.
- Press the ON button to start the juicer.
- Slowly feed prepared ingredients into the feed chute. Use the food pusher only if necessary to guide ingredients down. Do not force ingredients.
- The juicer will separate juice into the juice cup and pulp into the pulp container.
- Once juicing is complete, press the OFF button and unplug the appliance.
Reverse Function:
If ingredients become clogged, press and hold the REVERSE button for a few seconds. This will rotate the auger in the opposite direction to clear the blockage. Release the button, then press ON to resume juicing. Do not hold the REVERSE button for extended periods.
The wide 3-inch feed chute accommodates larger fruits and vegetables, reducing preparation time.
The juicer efficiently extracts juice from hard vegetables like carrots.
5. Care and Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your juicer.
Cleaning:
- Disassemble: Unplug the juicer. Press the lock button and remove the juice chute assembly. Disassemble the pulp spout, strainer, and auger.
- Rinse: Rinse all removable parts under running water immediately after use to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
- Wash: Most removable parts are dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended). For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and the included cleaning brush to remove any stubborn pulp, especially from the strainer.
- Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
- Dry and Store: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing. Store the juicer in a clean, dry place.
Most parts of the juicer are dishwasher-safe for easy and convenient cleaning.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; improper assembly; power outage. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check that the juice chute is properly locked and the lock button is fully upright. Verify power supply. |

| Excessive foam in juice. | Certain fruits/vegetables naturally produce more foam. | Use the included juice cup with a foam separator if desired. |
