Frequently Asked Questions - OPJ 4321 OK

How to assemble the juice extractor?

Place the base on a flat and stable surface. Attach the container onto the base aligning the spout. Insert the stainless steel sieve and lock it by pressing until it clicks.

Can I wash the parts in the dishwasher?

What to do if the motor stops during extraction?

This probably means the sieve is clogged. Turn off the appliance, unplug it, remove the lid and clean the sieve to remove residues. Also make sure not to overload the chute.

What is the power of the appliance?

The rated power is 1000 W at a voltage of 220-240 V~, 50/60 Hz. This allows efficient extraction of juice from hard or soft fruits and vegetables.

How to use the pulse function?

Set the switch to the P position and hold it down for quick extraction. Release to stop; the switch automatically returns to 0. Use this function in short bursts (max 2 minutes) to avoid overheating.

Is the appliance suitable for hard fruits?

Yes, use speed 2 for hard fruits and vegetables like beets, carrots or celery. Cut them into small pieces and feed them slowly into the chute to avoid blockages.

How to remove an obstruction in the chute?

Set the button to 0 and wait for the blade to stop completely. Unplug the appliance, remove the lid, then remove the blocked food with the pusher. Never insert fingers into the chute.

Why does juice leak under the base?

HINTS

• Do not put any fruit or vegetables in your juicer until power is turned on and the motor is spinning.
• Allow juicer to run for a few seconds before juicing.
• Do not force food into the juicer. Allow food to pass through slowly and steadily using the pusher.
• Any fruit or vegetable that will fit the chute can be put through whole. Only cut fruits and vegetables if they are too large to fit into the chute. Then it should be cut into small enough pieces to fit in the chute. Do not cut pieces too small.
• Remove large pits such as peach, mango, etc., as they will damage the blade and possibly the appliance.
• Let the juicer run for a few seconds before turning it off to allow any excess juice to be extracted. Once turned off, wait until the appliance has come to a complete standstill and has fully cooled before disassembling.
• Do not use bananas or avocados as they do not contain juice and will clog the appliance. Add them separately in a blender.
• We do not recommend using overripe fruit as it will leave too much pulp in the sieve and clog the appliance.
• Do not pour liquids into the appliance at any time.
• When using small or thin fruits or vegetables, insert more of them at the same time. For example, insert 2 or 3 carrots at a time into the chute for best results.
• When juicing herbs or wheat grass, wrap them in larger leafed vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, etc., and follow with a fruit or vegetable that contains an abundance of juice such as pineapple, apple, etc.
• Always use the slower setting when juicing very juicy foods. Note that the pomace will be wetter the juicer the used foods are (e.g. cucumbers). Push the pomace through a sieve to receive more juice. Always push down the foods at a slow but steady pace.
• Fruits, Vegetables that don't contain a lot of juice (e.g. bananas) won't give a lot of juice. Rather use these foods as a flavourful addition and not as the main source of juice. Always push down the foods at a slow but steady pace.
• Denser vegetables (e.g. beets) and fibrous vegetables (e.g. celery) should be chopped and fed slowly into the chute to reduce clogging.
