5. Operating Instructions

The Fretta juicer is designed for ease of use and high juice yield.

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. The 4.25-inch large feed chute allows for whole fruits like apples or large pieces of vegetables, reducing prep time.
2. Power On: Plug the juicer into a power outlet. Turn the control dial to the 'ON' position.
3. Begin Juicing: Slowly feed ingredients into the large feed chute. The self-feeding design will guide them through the auger.
4. Observe Juice and Pulp: Fresh juice will flow from the juice outlet into the juice cup, and dry pulp will be expelled into the pulp container.
5. Reverse Function: If ingredients become jammed, turn the dial to 'REV' (Reverse) for a few seconds to clear the obstruction, then return to 'ON' to continue juicing.
6. Finish Juicing: Once all ingredients are processed, turn the dial to 'OFF' and unplug the juicer.

2. Deep Cleaning: Open the sealing plug at the bottom of the juicing bowl to remove any residual pulp. Rinse all detachable parts under running water. Use the provided specialized brush to clean the filter basket and other components thoroughly.
3. Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.

7. Troubleshooting

Refer to the following common issues and solutions:

• Juicer doesn't start:

  • Over 20 minutes of continuous use can overheat it. Let it cool for 40 minutes.
• Fruit stuck:
  • Stir with the pusher provided. If stuck, press the reverse button.
