3. Setup

Before first use, and after each cleaning, follow these steps to set up your juicer:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Wash the detachable parts (sieve, cone, lid) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Do not wash the motor unit.
3. Assemble:
   • Place the sieve onto the motor unit, ensuring it is securely seated.
   • Position the juicing cone onto the spindle of the sieve.
   • Place the lid on top, aligning it with the juicer's body.
4. Placement: Place the assembled juicer on a stable, flat, and dry surface. The anti-slip feet will help keep it secure.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable 127V electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to extract juice from citrus fruits:

1. Prepare Fruit: Cut citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits) in half.
2. Position Fruit: Place one half of the fruit, cut-side down, onto the juicing cone.
3. Start Juicing: Gently press the fruit down onto the cone. The juicer will automatically activate due to pressure.
4. Extract Juice: Continue pressing and rotating the fruit slightly until all juice is extracted. The juice will flow through the sieve into the collection area.
5. Stop Juicing: Release pressure from the fruit, and the motor will automatically stop.
6. Repeat: Repeat the process with remaining fruit halves.
7. Serve: Once juicing is complete, unplug the appliance and pour the fresh juice.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your juicer.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the juicer from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Remove the lid, juicing cone, and sieve from the motor unit.
3. Wash Detachable Parts: Wash the lid, cone, and sieve in warm, soapy water. Use a brush if necessary to remove pulp from the sieve. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
4. Dry: Ensure all detachable parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
5. Clean Motor Unit: Wipe the exterior of the motor unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers, as they may damage the surface.
6. DO NOT Dishwash: The detachable parts are NOT dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.
7. Storage: Store the clean and dry juicer in a cool, dry place.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Philco PEF750P juicer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Juicer does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the electrical outlet is supplying power.
  • Check if the juicer components (sieve, cone) are correctly assembled and seated. The automatic activation requires proper assembly.
• Motor stops during use or slows down significantly:
  • You might be applying too much pressure on the fruit. The juicer is designed for automatic activation with moderate pressure. Reduce pressure.
  • The motor may be overheating. Unplug the juicer and allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before resuming use.
• Poor juice extraction or excessive pulp:
  • Ensure the fruit is cut cleanly in half.
  • Check if the sieve is clogged with pulp. Clean the sieve thoroughly.
  • Ensure the cone is properly seated and rotating freely.

If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact customer support.
