Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to correctly assemble your Fretta F6000 Cold Press Juicer before first use.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
- Clean Parts: Wash all detachable parts (hopper, auger, filter, juice/pulp containers, drip-proof cap) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The motor base should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
- Place Motor Base: Position the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
- Install Auger: Insert the auger into the center of the filter.
- Attach Filter Assembly: Place the filter with the auger onto the motor base, aligning the arrows or indicators, and twist until it locks securely into place.

Operating Instructions
The Fretta F6000 Cold Press Juicer is designed for efficient and quiet operation, preserving nutrients through its slow masticating technology.
- Prepare Ingredients: For most fruits and vegetables, the 5.3-inch large feed chute allows for whole produce without extensive pre-cutting. For optimal results and to prevent potential clogs, it is recommended to remove hard seeds (e.g., peach pits) and thick peels (e.g., citrus rinds).
- Load Hopper: Place your prepared fruits and vegetables into the 54-ounce self-feeding hopper. The large capacity supports batch juicing.
- Start Juicing: Plug the juicer into a power outlet. Press the "ON" button to start the juicing process. The 250W quiet motor will begin to masticate the produce at 80 RPM.
- Monitor Juice and Pulp: Fresh juice will flow into the juice container, and dry pulp will be expelled into the pulp container.
- Reverse Function: If ingredients become jammed or the juicer stops, press the "REVERSE" button. This will rotate the auger in the opposite direction to clear the blockage. After clearing, press "ON" to resume juicing.
- Finish Juicing: Once all ingredients have been processed, press the "OFF" button and unplug the juicer from the power outlet.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Fretta F6000 Juicer. All food-contact parts are made from BPA-free PCTG materials.
- Disassembly: After unplugging the juicer, disassemble the parts in reverse order of assembly: remove the hopper, then the filter assembly (filter and auger).
- Rinse Parts: Rinse all detachable parts under running water immediately after use to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
- Use Cleaning Brush: Utilize the included cleaning brush to remove any stubborn pulp residue from the filter and other components. Pay special attention to the 1/4 filter design for thorough cleaning.
- Wash with Soap: Wash all detachable parts with warm, soapy water.
- Dry Thoroughly: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
- Motor Base Cleaning: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
- Silicone Pad Tip: Before cleaning, please remove the orange silicone pad. Remember to secure the silicone pad to prevent juice leakage before juicing again.
