4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Operating in Juicing Mode

1. Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled (refer to Section 3.1).
2. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Cut ingredients into pieces that fit easily into the feed chute. For fibrous vegetables like celery, it is recommended to cut them into smaller pieces to prevent clogging.
3. Place the juice container and pulp collector in their designated positions.
4. Plug the appliance into a power outlet.
5. Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
6. Slowly feed ingredients into the chute, using the food pusher to guide them. Do not force ingredients.
7. Once juicing is complete, turn the switch to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Parmedu appliance.

• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
