4. Position: Place the juicer on a stable, flat countertop. The rubber feet will help prevent slipping.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Fruit: Cut your chosen fruit (e.g., orange, lemon, grapefruit) in half. For larger fruits, you may cut them into quarters for better fit and extraction.
2. Position Fruit: Place one fruit half, cut-side down, onto the stainless steel strainer.
3. Place Cup: Position the included 15 fl oz stainless steel cup (or another suitable container) directly under the juicer's spout to collect the juice.
4. Extract Juice: Firmly grasp the handle with one hand and the base with the other for stability. Slowly and steadily pull the handle down to press the fruit. Apply consistent pressure until all juice is extracted.
5. Remove Pulp: Lift the handle back to its upright position. Remove the squeezed fruit pulp from the strainer.
6. Repeat: Repeat the process with remaining fruit halves until desired juice quantity is achieved.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your juicer.

1. Daily Cleaning: Immediately after each use, remove the stainless steel funnel and strainer. Rinse them under running water to remove any pulp or juice residue. They are dishwasher safe for convenience.
2. Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, the pressure cap can be removed using the included wrench. This allows access to all parts for washing.
3. Main Body: Wipe the cast iron main body with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the main body in water.
4. Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing to prevent rust or water spots.

6. Troubleshooting

• Juice Splashing: If juice splashes during operation, ensure you are pressing the handle down slowly and steadily. Rapid pressing can cause splashing.
• Incomplete Extraction: For optimal juice extraction, ensure the fruit is cut in half and placed cut-side down on the strainer. For very large fruits, cutting into quarters may improve results.
• Juicer Instability: Always place the juicer on a flat, stable surface. Hold the base with one hand while operating the handle to provide extra control and stability.
• Difficulty Cleaning: If pulp is stuck, soak the stainless steel parts in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before scrubbing. The included wrench can be used to remove the pressure cap for full access.
