3. Setup
Before first use, wash all detachable parts (juicing container, cones, lid, spout) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The motor base should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
Assembly Steps:
- Place the motor base on a stable, flat surface.
- Install the juicing container onto the motor base, aligning the triangle mark on the cup with the triangle mark on the main engine.
- Select the appropriate juicing cone (circular for citrus, grind for other fruits) and place it onto the central shaft in the juicing container.
- Place the lid/pressing cap on top of the juicing container.
- Ensure the anti-drip spout is in the closed position until ready to dispense juice.
4. Operating Instructions
Preparing Fruits:
Cut citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits) in half. For other fruits like apples, pomegranates, or kiwi, cut them into pieces that fit comfortably into the juicing chamber.
Juicing Process:
- Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and plugged into a 120V power outlet.
- Place a glass or container under the anti-drip spout.
- Place the prepared fruit into the juicing chamber.
- Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds to power on the device.
- Press the "START" button to begin juicing. The juicer operates automatically, extracting juice from the fruit.
- Once juicing is complete, open the anti-drip spout to dispense the fresh juice into your glass.
- To stop the juicer, press the ON/OFF button again.
Important Note: The juicer is designed for short operating cycles. To prevent overheating, do not operate continuously for more than 3 minutes. Allow the appliance to rest for 5 minutes between cycles if multiple batches are being processed.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your juicer.
Disassembly for Cleaning:
- Unplug the juicer from the power outlet.
- Remove the lid/pressing cap.
- Carefully lift out the juicing cone and the juicing container from the motor base.
Cleaning Instructions:
All detachable parts (juicing container, cones, lid, spout) are washable with warm soapy water. Use the included cleaning brush to remove any pulp residue from the cones and mesh filter.
The motor base should never be immersed in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth only.
Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the juicer.
6. Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not start. | Not plugged in; ON/OFF button not held for 2 seconds; Safety lock not engaged. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Press and hold ON/OFF button for 2 seconds. Check if all parts are correctly assembled and locked. |
| Low juice yield. | Fruit not pressed firmly enough; Incorrect juicing cone used; Overheating. | Apply gentle, consistent pressure on the fruit. Ensure the correct cone is used for the fruit type. Allow the juicer to cool down if it has been running for extended periods. |
| Juicer stops during operation. | Overheating protection activated; Fruit jammed. | Unplug the unit and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes. Check for any fruit pieces obstructing the mechanism and remove them. |
