4. Setup and First Use
Before using your citrus juicer for the first time, follow these steps:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all components are present.
- Clean: Wash the lid, reamers, filter, and juice jug in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The manufacturer states these parts are dishwasher safe. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water.
- Assemble:
- Place the juice jug onto the motor base, ensuring it is securely seated.
- Insert the filter into the juice jug.
- Select the appropriate reamer (large for oranges/grapefruits, small for lemons/limes) and place it onto the central shaft of the filter.
- Place the dust cover/lid on top of the assembled unit.
- Position: Place the assembled juicer on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
- Connect: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (220-240V, 50/60Hz).
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to extract fresh juice:
- Prepare Fruit: Cut citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits) in half.
- Remove Lid: Take off the dust cover/lid.
- Juice: Place a fruit half onto the reamer. Press down firmly. The juicer will automatically start rotating. Apply gentle pressure and rotate the fruit slightly to extract all the juice. The reamer features bidirectional rotation for maximum juice extraction.
- Collect Juice: The extracted juice will flow through the filter into the juice jug. The filter retains pulp and seeds.
- Continue Juicing: Repeat the process with remaining fruit halves until the desired amount of juice is collected or the jug reaches its maximum capacity (700 ml).
- Stop: Release pressure from the fruit, and the motor will stop automatically.
- Serve: Once juicing is complete, remove the reamer and filter. You can pour the fresh juice directly from the jug.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your juicer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not start. | Not plugged in; power outage; parts not assembled correctly; insufficient pressure on fruit. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker. Reassemble all parts correctly. Apply firm, consistent pressure on the fruit. |
| Motor stops during operation. | Overheating due to prolonged use; excessive pressure on fruit. | Unplug the juicer and let it cool down for at least 15-20 minutes. Reduce pressure on the fruit during juicing. |
| Poor juice extraction. | Incorrect reamer size; insufficient pressure; fruit not cut properly. | Use the appropriate reamer size for the fruit. Apply firm, even pressure. Ensure fruits are cut in half. |
| Juice contains too much pulp. | Filter clogged or not properly seated. | Ensure the filter is clean and correctly placed in the juice jug. Clean the filter thoroughly after each use. |
