How to Assemble
Ensure the appliance is turned OFF before plugging in the power cord.
Wash all parts except the base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately. Never immerse the base in water or other liquids; wipe it with a damp sponge.
- Place the filter bowl on top of the motor base.
- Place the micro-mesh filter inside the filter holder. Ensure the filter basket is fitted securely inside the filter bowl surround and onto the motor base.
- Place the juicer cover over the filter bowl surround, positioning the feed chute over the stainless steel filter basket and lower into place.
- Raise the safety locking arm up and locate into the two grooves of the juice cover. The safety locking arm should now be in a vertical position and locked into place on top of the juice cover.
- Place the pulp container into position by tilting the motor base slightly. To minimize cleaning, line the pulp container with a bag to collect the pulp. Pulp can be used in other dishes, or as a compost for the garden or discarded.
- Place the juice jug under the juice spout on the right-hand side of the juicer.
How to Use
Ensure the appliance is turned OFF before plugging in.
Do not place any fruits or vegetables until you turn the unit ON.
Wash fruits and vegetables.
Note: Most fruits and vegetables such as carrots and cucumbers will not need to be cut since they will fit into the feed chute whole. It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or mangoes are peeled before placing in the unit to minimize impact on juice flavor.
- Ensure that the unit is correctly assembled.
- Plug cord into a 120V AC outlet. Turn on the appliance. (See the SPEED SELECTION TABLE to choose the recommended speed).
- With the motor running, place food down the feed chute. Using the food pusher, gently guide food down the feed chute. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push the food pusher down slowly.
Note: Allow the unit to run for a few seconds before you start juicing. At the beginning of usage, the motor works in a running-in phase; there may be a slight peculiar smell and spark. This is normal; after the motor works for some period, the above phenomenon will disappear.
- Juice will flow into the jug and separated pulp will accumulate in the pulp container.
Note: Pulp container can be emptied during juicing by turning the juice extractor OFF and then carefully removing the pulp container. Replace the empty pulp container before continuing to juice.
- To minimize cleanup, place a plastic grocery bag in the pulp container to collect pulp. When juicing is completed, simply remove the grocery bag containing pulp.
Note: Do not allow the pulp container to overfill since this may prevent correct operation or damage the unit.

Care and Cleaning
Ensure the machine is turned OFF, then unplug the power cord. Ensure the machine is correctly disassembled.
For Easy Cleaning
- Clean as you go and avoid dried-on juice or pulp residue.
- Immediately after each use, rinse removable parts in hot water to remove wet pulp. Allow parts to air dry.
Note: To minimize cleaning, line the pulp container with a produce bag to collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used for other dishes, or as compost for the garden or discarded.
Cleaning the Motor Base
- Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly.
- Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.
Note: Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning the parts or motor base as they may scratch the surface.
Cleaning the Filter Bowl, Juicer Cover, Food Pusher, Pulp Container
- Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Note: The food pusher, filter bowl, pulp container, are dishwasher safe (top shelf only). The juice cover is not dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the Filter Basket
- For consistent juicing results, always ensure that the stainless steel filter basket is thoroughly cleaned using the supplied cleaning brush.
- Soak the stainless steel filter basket in hot soapy water for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry on the filter, it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh, thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juicer.
- Using the cleaning brush, hold the filter basket under running water and brush from the inside of the basket to the outer rim. Avoid touching the small sharp blades in the center of the filter basket. After cleaning the filter basket, hold it up towards a light to ensure the fine mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes are blocked, soak the filter basket in hot water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the blocked holes. Alternatively, wash the filter basket in the dishwasher.
- Do not soak the stainless steel filter basket in bleach or other abrasive cleansers.
- Always treat the filter basket with care as it can be easily damaged.
Note: The stainless steel filter basket is dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
Cleaning the Juice Jug
- Rinse the juice jug and lid with froth attachment under running water.
- Wash both parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Note: The juice jug and lid are dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
Removing Stubborn or Strong Food Stains and Odors
- Discoloration of the plastic may occur with brightly colored fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash parts immediately after use. If discoloration occurs, the plastic parts can be soaked in water with 10% lemon juice or they can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner.
⚠ WARNING
Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. The center of the filter basket contains small sharp blades to process fruit and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not touch blades when handling the filter basket.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Probable Cause/Solution |
|---|---|
| Machine will not work when switched ON | The locking latches may not be correctly engaged. Check to see if the locking is properly positioned on either side of the juice cover. This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for 20-30 minutes. Plug machine back in after 20-30 minutes to resume normal operation. |
| Peculiar smell and slight smoke come out | This is normal. Allow unit to run for a few seconds before you start juicing. At the beginning of usage, the motor works in a running-in phase; there may be slight peculiar smell and spark. This is normal; after the motor works for some period, the above phenomenon will disappear. |
| Pulp is too wet and insufficient juice is produced | Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Turn OFF and unplug. Remove strainer basket and clean mesh walls. This will remove excess fiber buildup which could be inhibiting the juice flow. |
| Leafy green vegetables juice yield is low | It is advised to juice them with a combination of other fruit and vegetables. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push the food pusher down slowly. |
| Motor appears to stall when juicing | The juicing action may be too vigorous. Try slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover or pulp container. Turn unit OFF and unplug. Empty the pulp bin, then clean juice cover and strainer basket. |
| Excess pulp building up in the micro-mesh strainer basket | Turn OFF and unplug. Remove strainer basket and clean mesh walls. This will remove excess fiber buildup which could be inhibiting the juice flow. |
| Juice sprays out of spout | Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher down more slowly. |
| Juice leaks between the rim of the juice and the juicer cover | Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher down more slowly. |
| Machine vibrates excessively | Micro-mesh filter is not installed in place. Install it in place. Build up of pulp in mesh of strainer basket. Turn unit OFF and unplug. Clean strainer basket. If machine vibration continues after cleaning, this could be a sign of a damaged strainer basket. |
