Operating Instructions

The Ventray MAX 120 is designed for ease of use and high juice yield.

Preparing Ingredients

Thanks to the 4.7-inch wide feed chute, you can juice whole fruits and vegetables, significantly reducing preparation time. For very hard or fibrous ingredients, it is recommended to cut them into smaller pieces to prevent strain on the motor and optimize juice extraction.

The 4.7-inch wide feed chute accommodates whole fruits and vegetables.

Juicing Process

1. Ensure the juice cup and pulp cup are in place.
2. Plug the juicer into a power outlet.
3. Press the 'ON' button to start the juicer. The slow masticating speed of 40-60 RPM ensures maximum nutrient retention and minimal oxidation.
4. Gradually feed prepared fruits and vegetables into the feed chute. Use the pusher only if necessary to gently guide ingredients.
5. Once juicing is complete, press the 'OFF' button.

The intuitive one-button control for easy operation.

Reverse Function ('REV')

If ingredients become jammed during operation, press and hold the 'REV' button. This will reverse the rotation of the juicing screw to dislodge the blockage. Release the button, then press 'ON' to resume juicing.

Safety Lock Feature

The juicer is equipped with an automatic protection function. It will only power on when the feed chute lid is fully closed and correctly assembled. If the lid is opened during operation, the machine will stop automatically for safety.

The juicer's automatic protection function ensures operation only when the lid is securely closed.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your juicer.

Disassembly for Cleaning

1. Unplug the juicer from the power outlet.
2. Remove the feed chute assembly by rotating it counter-clockwise and lifting it off.
3. Remove the juicing screw and juicing bowl from the motor base.
