Operating Instructions
Preparation
For optimal juicing results and to prevent clogging, prepare your ingredients as follows:
- Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
- Remove large seeds, pits, and hard skins (e.g., pineapple, melon).
- Cut larger ingredients into pieces that fit comfortably into the hopper. The wide mouth hopper is designed to accommodate whole or large pieces, reducing pre-cutting time.
- For leafy greens, roll them into a tight ball before placing them in the hopper.

Juicing Process
The Nama J2 features a hands-free design, allowing you to load ingredients and let the juicer work independently.
- Ensure the juice outlet cap is closed if you wish to mix juices within the chamber before dispensing.
- Load your prepared fruits and vegetables into the hopper. The self-feeding design will draw them into the auger.
- Turn the power dial to the 'ON' position. The juicer will begin processing the ingredients.
- If ingredients get stuck, use the 'REV' (reverse) function briefly to clear the blockage, then switch back to 'ON'.
- Once juicing is complete, open the juice outlet cap to dispense the fresh juice into the juice container.
- Turn the power dial to 'OFF' and unplug the juicer after use.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Nama J2 Juicer, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions:
