5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Preparing Ingredients
- Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
- For most items, the wide feed chute allows for whole fruits and vegetables, reducing prep time. However, very large or fibrous items may benefit from being cut into smaller pieces.
- Remove hard pits from fruits like peaches, plums, or cherries.
- Peel citrus fruits (oranges, lemons) to avoid bitter taste from the rind.
5.2. Juicing Process
- Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and the juice and pulp containers are in place.
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Turn the control knob to the 'ON' position.
- Slowly feed prepared ingredients into the feed chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide them down. Do not force ingredients.
- Observe the juice flowing into the juice container and pulp collecting in the pulp container.
- Once juicing is complete, turn the control knob to the 'OFF' position and unplug the appliance.

5.3. Reverse Function
If ingredients become jammed or the juicer stops during operation, use the reverse function:
- Turn the control knob to the 'REV' (Reverse) position and hold for a few seconds. This will rotate the auger in the opposite direction to clear the blockage.
- Release the knob to return to the 'OFF' position.
- If the blockage persists, repeat the reverse function or disassemble the juicer to clear the obstruction manually.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your juicer. Clean the juicer immediately after each use.
6.1. Disassembly for Cleaning
- Unplug the juicer from the power outlet.
- Remove the juice and pulp containers.
- Rotate the lid counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it.
- Remove the filter and auger from the juicing chamber.
- Rotate the juicing chamber counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it from the motor base.
6.2. Cleaning the Components
- Rinse all detachable parts (juicing chamber, auger, filter, lid, food pusher, containers) under running water.
- Use the included cleaning brush to remove any pulp residue from the filter and other components.
- For thorough cleaning, wash parts with warm, soapy water. All components are constructed from SUS304 stainless steel (auger) and baby-food-grade PP material, which resist sticking pulp and absorbing odors.
- Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
- Dry all parts completely before reassembling or storing.
