Operating Instructions
Preparing Ingredients
- Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
- For most produce, the 4.35-inch wide chute allows for whole fruits and vegetables, reducing prep time.
- Remove large, hard seeds (e.g., peach, avocado pits) and tough skins (e.g., pineapple, melon rinds).
- Cut larger items if they do not fit the chute, but avoid excessively small pieces.
- Do not juice overly soft or starchy fruits like bananas or avocados, as they may clog the juicer.
Juicing Process
- Ensure the juicer is assembled correctly and containers are in place.
- Turn the control knob to the "ON" position. The juicer operates at a low speed of 45 RPM for cold pressing.
- Gradually feed prepared ingredients into the feeding chute. For best results, do not force ingredients. The juicer's self-feeding mechanism will draw them in.
- Use the food pusher only if necessary to gently guide ingredients.
- The juicer will automatically separate juice into the juice container and pulp into the pulp container.
- When finished, turn the control knob to the "OFF" position and unplug the juicer.
The wide chute allows for juicing whole fruits and vegetables, saving preparation time.
Enjoy hands-free juicing; simply load ingredients and let the machine do the work.
The cold press technology ensures full nutrient retention and pure flavor, unlike traditional juicers.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not turn on. | Not properly assembled; safety lock not engaged. Power cord not plugged in. | Ensure all parts are securely locked into place. Check power connection. |
| Juicer stops during operation. | Overload protection activated. Lid opened during operation. | Turn off, unplug, and clear any blockages. Allow motor to cool. Ensure lid is fully closed. |
