• Use caution when juicing the following ingredients: - Fruits with seeds that are hard to chew should be pitted before extraction. Fruits such as plums, peaches, and apricots. - Stalk vegetables with strong ber should be cut into smaller sizes of 1 to 2 inches before placing in the hopper. Vegetables such as water parsley, celery, fennel, etc. - Do not use sesame, coffee beans, bark of a tree, Chinese pepper, etc. which cannot be extracted. - Do not use fruits preserved in alcohol, sugar, honey, etc. It may cause damage or failure.

Frozen fruit or withered ingredients stored in the refrigerator for a long time, may extract less amounts of juice or may even be impossible to juice.

Do not re-squeeze residue expelled through pulp outlet, except for soft fruits. Soft fruits can be re-squeezed.

Do not force too much food into the juicer. Push food gradually for extraction. Juicer Shakes when In-Use

This is normal as the auger rotates. It is not a malfunction. Hard ingredients such as carrots, potatoes, radishes, beets, etc. may cause shaking more so than soft ingredients.
