4. Operating Instructions
Operating your CIARRA Cold Press Juicer is straightforward:

- Prepare Ingredients: Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. The 4.3-inch XL feed chute accommodates whole fruits and vegetables, reducing the need for pre-cutting. For very fibrous or soft items, a slight pre-cut may optimize juicing. For citrus fruits, peeling is recommended to avoid bitter taste.
- Start Juicing: Plug in the juicer. Turn the control dial to the 'ON' position.
- Feed Ingredients: Slowly feed ingredients into the feed chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide them down. Do not force ingredients.
- Juice and Pulp Separation: The juicer automatically separates juice into the juice container and pulp into the pulp container.
- Reverse Function: If ingredients get jammed, turn the dial to 'REV' (Reverse) for a few seconds to clear the blockage, then return to 'ON' to continue juicing.
- Finish Juicing: Once all ingredients are processed, turn the dial to 'OFF' and unplug the appliance.

Tips for Optimal Juicing:
- For best results, alternate between soft and hard ingredients.
- Do not overfill the feed chute.
- Allow the juicer to run for a few seconds after the last ingredient to ensure all juice is extracted.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your juicer.

- Disassembly: Unplug the juicer. Twist the lid counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it. Remove the juicing screw and juicing bowl.
- Rinse Immediately: Rinse all detachable parts (lid, food pusher, juicing screw, juicing bowl, juice container, pulp container) under running water immediately after use. This prevents pulp from drying and sticking.
- Brush Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any stubborn pulp from the mesh filter and other intricate areas.
- Dishwasher Safe: All detachable parts are dishwasher-safe for convenience. However, hand washing is recommended for optimal longevity, especially for metal components.
- Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
- Drying and Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer. Store in a clean, dry place.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your juicer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; Lid not properly locked; Power outage. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the lid is fully locked into place (safety sensor). Verify power supply. |
| Motor stops during operation or jams. | Too much ingredient fed at once; Hard ingredients causing blockage. | Turn the dial to 'REV' (Reverse) for a few seconds to clear the blockage, then return to 'ON'. Reduce the amount of ingredients fed at one time. Cut harder ingredients into smaller pieces. |
| Low juice yield or wet pulp. | Ingredients too soft or overripe; Incorrect feeding speed. | Ensure ingredients are fresh and firm. Feed ingredients slowly and steadily. For very soft fruits, consider blending instead of juicing for better fiber retention. |
| Excessive vibration or noise. | Improper assembly; Juicer not on a stable surface. | Disassemble and reassemble all parts, ensuring they are securely locked. Place the juicer on a firm, level surface. |
