6. Close the top cover of the feed chute. The juicer includes a safety lock mechanism that prevents operation if parts are not correctly assembled and locked.

Important: The juicer will only power on and operate when it is fully and correctly assembled, and the top cover is securely closed. Keep the top cover open when assembling or disassembling the feeding chute.

Operating Instructions

1. Preparation of Ingredients

• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• For most items, pre-cutting is not necessary due to the 108mm wide feed chute. However, very large or fibrous items may benefit from being cut into smaller pieces to ensure smooth operation.
• Remove hard pits from fruits (e.g., peaches, plums, cherries) and tough skins (e.g., pineapple, melon).
• Recommended produce for juicing includes: Apple, Beetroot, Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, Orange.

2. Juicing Process

• Plug the juicer into a power outlet.
• Place a juice collection cup under the juice spout and a pulp collection container under the pulp spout.
• Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
• Begin feeding prepared ingredients into the feed chute. The self-feeding mechanism will draw the produce in.
• The 1.0L large capacity hopper allows for continuous feeding of ingredients.
• Once juicing is complete, turn the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the appliance.

3. Reverse Function

If ingredients become jammed or the juicer stops during operation, use the reverse function:

• Turn the power switch to the "OFF" position.
• Turn the switch to the "REV" (Reverse) position and hold for a few seconds. This will rotate the auger in the opposite direction to clear the obstruction.
• Release the switch to the "OFF" position, then return to "ON" to resume juicing.
• If the blockage persists, disassemble the juicer, clear the obstruction manually, and reassemble before continuing.
