What is a Slow Juicer?

Congratulations on becoming a Hurom® owner!

The Hurom® Slow Juicer is a juice extractor that uses a patented Low Speed Technology System (LSTS). It is called a "Slow Juicer" because it operates at only 80 RPM and uses a mere 150 Watts of energy, instead of 1,000-24,000 RPM and 500-1,500 Watts of energy like a typical centrifugal "High Speed" juicer. But don't let the name fool you. The Slow Juicer actually extracts juice faster than most typical juicers and expels a much higher yield with much drier pulp.

The method of extractions is masticating and pressing, using the screw-like auger like a mortar and pestle. The action tears open the food's cell membranes and releases its deep-seated nutrients and enzymes. It also breaks up more of the phytonutrients, resulting in a richer colored juice that retains more vitamins and minerals. The slow RPM ensures that the cellular structure of fruits and vegetables is kept intact, eliminating oxidations and separation. Thus, it preserves the precious enzymes and nutrients that are closest to their natural form, even from wheatgrass, soy, and leafy greens.

For better use and optimal results, please follow the instructions carefully. Please refer to the instruction manual if you are having technical difficulties or are unsure of usage of the appliance. Roland Products, Inc. is not liable for any damages or injuries that may occur due to improper use or care.

Assembly Instruction

1. Place the strainer into the spinning brush.

1. Place the strainer + spinning brush into the bowl.

2. Be sure to align the white dot on top of the strainer and the white dot on top of the bowl.

When two dots are properly aligned, strainer should lock into the bowl preventing it from moving around.

1. Place squeezing screw inside the strainer and rotate until it falls into place.

Assembly Instruction

1. Assemble the hopper onto the bowl.

2. Be sure to align the arrow on the Hopper to the white dot on top of the strainer and bowl, and twist to close so that the arrow is pointing to the "Close" position.

1. Assemble the entire Top Set onto the base.

2. As shown below, once the Top Set is put on the base, twist the whole Top Set so that the hopper edge is pointing to the "Close" sign on the base.

Assembly Instruction

1. Plug in the unit.
2. Place containers under both the Juice & pulp ejectors

Underneath the bowl, there is a yellow rubber pad called the Extraction Packing which allows all of the juice to only discharge from the juice outlet. Before juicing, please make sure the Extraction Packing is plugged in completely to prevent any leakage.

HowtoUse

1. Hurom® has three settings.

a. "On" starts motor/makes juice
b. "Rev" reverses motor and is to be used only when food is stuck
c. "Off"stops motor/turns off unit

1. Inputting food into Hurom:

a. Rinse food thoroughly before juicing.
b. Be sure to cut food into pieces no larger than 2 inches for optimal extraction, and remove any large hard seeds.
c. Turning "On" the Hurom, drop food into feeding tube. Do not push, force, or overstuff. The pusher provided is only to use when food becomes stuck. Insert food at a slow pace, allowing all the pulp to extract.

1. Turn "Off" when done using.

2. Ensure that hands are completely dry before touching the switch.

3. Do not operate with an empty bowl.
4. Leftover juice should be immediately refrigerated or frozen.

Juicing Tips

This is a SLOW juicer and has different operating instructions than typical high-speed juicers. Make sure to read the instruction manual carefully and follow these simple steps below.

FOR BEST RESULTS:

• Cut food items into pieces no larger than 2 inches for optimal extraction.
• Do not input frozen fruit or ice.
• Drop food into feeding tube. Do not push or force down. The pusher provided is only to use if food becomes stuck.
• Insert food at a slow pace, allowing all the pulp to extract. For maximum efficiency, do not overcrowd or rush.
• When juicing leafy greens, it is suggested that you mix it with fruits for optimal results.
• Juice nuts only with other foods such as soaked soybeans or liquids. Check the recipe brochure for ideas.

How to Disassemble & Clean

Cleaning Tips

• Carefully clean the spinning brush periodically by removing the silicone "brushes" to prevent staining or mold.
• Thoroughly rinse and clean after each use to minimize staining.
• For best cleaning results, use warm water and a mild detergent.
• Do not use rough abrasives or harsh chemicals as they can scratch or damage the plastic.
• Make sure Extraction Packing is pulled out completely when cleaning. Plug back in securely after cleaning to prevent leaks.

Hurom Troubleshooting

	Problem	Possible Reasons Solution
1	Bowl is stuck and does not detach from the base.	Excessive food in the bowl. Unknown substance in the bowl.	Press reverse button 3-5 seconds. Repeat process 2-3 times. Then, push bowl upward while turning.
2	Hopper/lid is stuck.	Excessive food in the bowl. Unknown substance in the bowl.	Press reverse button 3-5 seconds. Repeat process 2-3 times. Then, press down on top of lid while turning.
3	Motor is stuck or has stopped.	Excessive food in the bowl. Safety feature: automatic shutoff due to overheating.	Press reverse button 3-5 seconds. Repeat process 2-3 times. If motor has stopped, let cool down before trying again.
4	Leaking from underneath the bowl.	Extraction packing not plugged in correctly.	Be sure to plug in extraction packing tightly after cleaning.
5	Squeaking noise when juicing.	Friction between the squeezing screw and bowl or food.	Squeaking sound is perfectly normal. Do not run the juicer without any food.
6	The unit vibrates. Sign of motor working properly.		Vibration is perfectly normal. However, severe shaking which causes imbalance of the unit should be checked for a defective screw.

Hurom Troubleshooting

	Problem	Possible Reasons Solution
7	Water mark or scratch on the squeezing screw.	Molding marks during manufacturing process.	These marks and lines on the squeezing screw are perfectly normal.
8	Color stain on the bowl, strainer, spinning brush.	Natural dye from food.	Hurom is BPA-free and chemical-free on all attachments, therefore natural dye from food when juicing is perfectly normal. To reduce staining, rinse and clean immediately after each use. Diluted vinegar or bleach can also be used.
9	Mold in silicone part of spinning brush.	Poor cleaning.	Be sure to clean thoroughly by detaching the silicone brushes from the spinning brush. Don't forget to plug it back in before juicing.
10	Strainer damage.	Ice, frozen foods, large hard seeds or pits, unknown substance, or excess food in bowl.	Refer to Instruction Manual for proper usage and juicing tips. Remember not to overcrowd food or force foods in.
11	Deformation of attachments	Exposed to heat or abrasive materials.	Do not clean any attachments in dishwasher or use hard cleaners. Plastics tend to deform when exposed to high heat.
12	Too much pulp coming out.	Excess food in bowl clogging up the strainer or food not cut into small pieces.	Cut food, especially fibrous foods, into smaller pieces to avoid the fibers wrapping around the screw. Also input food at a slow pace allowing all the pulp to eject before adding more food.
