Operating Instructions
Control Panel Overview:
Image: Close-up of the machine's control panel, showing the digital temperature display, temperature adjustment buttons, Power ON/OFF, Press/Stop, and Clear buttons.
- Digital Display: Shows current temperature.
- TEMP. Up/Down Buttons: Adjust the desired pressing temperature.
- POWER ON/OFF: Turns the machine on or off.
- PRESS/STOP: Starts or stops the oil pressing process.
- CLEAR: Resets settings or clears errors.
General Operation Steps:
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure seeds and nuts are dry and free from debris. For larger ingredients like coconut, chop into small pieces.
- Power On: Press the POWER ON/OFF button. The display will light up.
- Select Pressing Mode and Temperature:
- Hot Pressing: Recommended for most seeds and nuts to maximize oil yield and flavor. Use the TEMP. Up/Down buttons to set the desired temperature (e.g., 180-250°C for peanuts, 200-280°C for sesame). The machine preheats quickly, typically reaching optimal temperature in about 360 seconds.
- Cold Pressing: Ideal for preserving nutrients and delicate flavors. Set a lower temperature (e.g., 40-80°C).
Image: Visual guide illustrating the difference between hot pressing (heating and pressing stir-fried materials for rich aroma and high yield) and cold pressing (heating and pressing raw materials directly to retain natural flavor).
- Add Ingredients: Once the desired temperature is reached, carefully pour the prepared seeds/nuts into the hopper.
- Start Pressing: Press the PRESS/STOP button to begin the oil extraction process. The machine will automatically process the ingredients.
- Collect Oil: Fresh oil will flow into the oil cup, passing through the filter screen. Residue will exit through the slag guide.
- Continuous Operation: The machine is designed for continuous operation for over 24 hours, suitable for larger batches.
- Stop Pressing: To stop, press the PRESS/STOP button again.
- Power Off: After use, press the POWER ON/OFF button and unplug the machine.
Notes on Oil Quality:
Freshly pressed oil, especially from certain seeds, may appear turbid due to natural protein content. It is advisable to let the oil settle for 24 hours before consumption. The oil will naturally separate, and the clear oil can then be used.
Versatile Applications:
This oil press can process over 30 types of raw materials, including but not limited to:

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your oil press machine, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not turn on. | No power supply; power cord not properly connected. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and the outlet. Ensure the outlet has power. |
| No oil extraction or very low yield. | Ingredients too wet; incorrect temperature setting; squeezing chamber clogged. | Ensure ingredients are completely dry. Adjust temperature according to ingredient type (hot press usually yields more). Clean the squeezing chamber and rod thoroughly. |
| Machine stops during operation. | Overload protection activated; foreign object in chamber. | Turn off and unplug the machine. Allow it to cool. Remove and clean the squeezing chamber to check for obstructions. Restart after a few minutes. |
| Excessive noise during operation. | Loose components; foreign object. | Ensure all parts are securely assembled. Check for any foreign objects in the hopper or squeezing chamber. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact customer support.
