Operating Instructions
Prepare your ingredients by washing them thoroughly. For fibrous vegetables like celery, it is recommended to cut them into smaller pieces to prevent clogging. The 3-inch wide feed chute accommodates larger pieces, reducing prep time and oxidation.
- Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and plugged into a power outlet.
- Turn the juicer ON using the control switch. Select between 'SOFT' for softer fruits and vegetables or 'HARD' for harder produce.
- Gradually feed fruits and vegetables into the dual feed chute. The pusher can be used to gently guide ingredients.
- Observe the juice collecting in the juice cup and pulp in the pulp container.
- If ingredients get stuck, use the 'REV' (Reverse) function to clear the blockage, then switch back to 'ON'.
- Once juicing is complete, switch the juicer to 'OFF' and unplug it.
