5. Operating Instructions
The Shine Multi-Batch Juicer is designed for hands-free, continuous juicing. Prepare your ingredients and follow these steps:
Figure 5.1: The juicer's hopper allows for versatile juicing of various produce.
- Ingredient Preparation: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Cut ingredients into appropriate sizes to fit into the hopper. For fibrous vegetables like celery or ginger, cut into 1-inch pieces or smaller to prevent clogging.
- Pre-load Hopper: Place your prepared ingredients into the Quick-Fill Top hopper. The juicer is gravity-fed, allowing for batch processing.
- Start Juicing: Plug in the juicer. Turn the control dial to the 'ON' position. The juicer will begin processing the ingredients.
- Continuous Feed: As ingredients are juiced, you can continue to add more produce to the hopper without stopping the machine.
- Reverse Function: If ingredients become jammed, turn the dial to 'REV' (Reverse) for a few seconds to clear the blockage, then return to 'ON'.
- Finish Juicing: Once all ingredients are processed, turn the dial to 'OFF' and unplug the unit.

- Disassembly: Unplug the juicer. Disassemble the juicing components by twisting the assembly counter-clockwise and lifting it off the motor base.
- Rinse Immediately: Rinse all removable parts under running water to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
- Hand Wash Only: Hand wash all parts with warm, soapy water using the provided cleaning brushes. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Screen Cleaning: Pay special attention to the Easy-Clean Screen, using the brush to remove any trapped pulp.
- Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
- Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your juicer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power switch off; safety lock not engaged. | Ensure unit is plugged in, switch is 'ON', and all parts are correctly assembled and locked. |
| Pulp outlet becomes clogged. | Fibrous ingredients not cut small enough; too much produce fed at once. | Cut fibrous ingredients into 1-inch pieces or smaller. Use the 'REV' function to clear blockages. Feed produce at a steady pace. |
| Difficulty disassembling parts after use. | Pulp residue has dried and created a seal; parts are wedged. | Disassemble and clean immediately after use. If stuck, try gently wiggling the top assembly while holding the base firmly. Running warm water over the connection point may help loosen dried residue. |
| Low juice yield or wet pulp. | Ingredients too soft; screen clogged; improper assembly. | Ensure screen is clean. Alternate soft and hard ingredients. Verify all parts are correctly assembled. |
