Setup Instructions
- Unpack all components and ensure all accessories are present.
- Clean all removable parts (screw rod, press chamber, collection trays) with warm soapy water before first use. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Insert the screw rod into the press chamber.
- Attach the press chamber assembly to the main unit, ensuring it is securely locked in place.
- Place the oil collection tray and pulp collection container under their respective outlets.
- Ensure the transparent cover is properly seated on the feeding hopper.
- Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
Preparing Ingredients:
- Use only dry, clean seeds or nuts. Moisture content can affect oil extraction efficiency and machine performance.
- For optimal results, some ingredients like flaxseeds or black cumin seeds can be pre-chilled or frozen before pressing.
- Ensure seeds are free from shells, stones, or other foreign objects.
Extraction Process:
- Turn on the appliance using the power button on the LED control panel.
- Select the appropriate program for your ingredient using the program selection buttons. The H.Koenig OLY900 offers 7 pre-defined programs for various seed types (e.g., peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds, rapeseed, flaxseed).
- Carefully pour the prepared seeds or nuts into the feeding hopper. Do not overfill.
- Press the start button to begin the oil extraction process.
- Monitor the process through the transparent cover. Oil will begin to drip into the oil collection tray, and pulp will be expelled into the pulp container.
- The appliance will automatically stop once the program is complete or if an issue is detected (e.g., overheating, blockage).
- After extraction, allow the appliance to cool down before disassembling and cleaning.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your oil press.
- Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Allow the press chamber and screw rod to cool down completely after use. Residual oil can be hot.
- Disassemble the press chamber and remove the screw rod. Use the provided wrench if necessary.
- Remove any remaining pulp from the screw rod and press chamber using the cleaning brush.
- Wash the screw rod, press chamber, oil collection tray, pulp container, and filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent rust or residue buildup.
- Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit in water.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the appliance.
