Fretta Masticating Juicer Machine User Manual

1. Introduction

The Fretta Masticating Juicer Machine is designed to provide fresh, nutrient-rich juice from a variety of fruits and vegetables. Utilizing advanced cold press technology, it operates at a low speed to minimize oxidation and heat buildup, preserving essential vitamins and enzymes. Its user-friendly design ensures efficient juice extraction, reduced waste, and simple cleaning, making healthy juicing accessible for everyday use.

2. Safety Instructions

Please read all instructions carefully before operating the juicer. Retain this manual for future reference.

• Always ensure the juicer is properly assembled before use.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the feed chute during operation to prevent injury. The Y-shaped design is specifically engineered to minimize this risk.
• Ensure the juicer is unplugged before assembling, disassembling, or cleaning.
• This juicer is designed for fruits and vegetables. Do not insert hard items like pits, large seeds, or ice.
• While the wide feed chute reduces the need for extensive chopping, some fruits and vegetables (e.g., those with thick peels like oranges or hard roots like ginger) may require pre-cutting or peeling for optimal juicing and to prevent clogging.
• The juicer does not automatically remove fruit peels. For best flavor and texture, it is recommended to remove peels from fruits like oranges before juicing.
• Keep the appliance away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• This product is BPA-free, ensuring safe food contact.

5. Operating Instructions

The Fretta juicer offers dual modes for optimal juicing of various produce types.

• Soft Mode (85-100 RPM): Ideal for softer fruits and vegetables such as oranges, watermelon, grapes, berries, and tomatoes.
• Hard Mode (95-110 RPM): Suitable for harder produce like apples, pears, carrots, beets, celery, ginger, and kale.
• Reverse Function (REV): Use this function to clear any clogs that may occur during juicing.

To begin juicing:

1. Prepare your fruits and vegetables. While the 3-inch wide feed chute accommodates large pieces, remove any hard pits or large seeds. For certain items like oranges, peeling is recommended for better flavor.
2. Select the appropriate mode (SOFT or HARD) using the control buttons on the motor base.
3. Slowly feed the produce into the wide feeding chute. The dual feed chute design allows for simultaneous addition of multiple ingredients.
4. Use the pusher to gently guide the produce down the chute. Avoid forcing ingredients.
5. The juicer will automatically separate juice into the juice cup and pulp into the pulp container.
6. If clogging occurs, switch to the "REV" (Reverse) function for a few seconds, then switch back to the desired juicing mode.
7. When finished, switch the juicer to "OFF" and unplug it from the power outlet.
