pusher when needed. If other objects are inserted into the feeding tube during operation, such materials can get stuck and damage the juicer parts and/or cause injury.

4. Do not put dried or hard ingredients like whole grains, fruits with hard seeds or ice

into the juicer. These may damage the juicer parts (e.g. juicing bowl, juicing screw, and strainer).• Beans or grains can be used if soaked overnight or boiled. • Fruits with pits and hard seeds (e.g. nectarines, peaches, mangoes and cherries) must be pitted before juicing.• When using frozen fruits with small seeds such as grapes, completely thaw before inserting them into the juicer.

5. Do not use ingredients containing excessive amounts of vegetable oil or animal fat.

Do not use the juicer to extract vegetable oil from ingredients. If vegetable/animal oil gets on the juicing screw, it may reduce performance and even damage the part.

6. Do not reinsert the extracted pulp into the juicer. This can cause the juicer to stop or

cause the drum lid not to open.

7. After juicing ingredients with seeds like grapes, thoroughly clean all the crevices on

the bottom of the juicing screw. DO NOT put the following ingredients into the juicer: Juicer damage due to owner negligence or from not following the instructions in the owner’s manual will void the warranty service. EN15

INGREDIENTS PREPARATION Hard fruits and vegetables may put excess strain onto the motor and cause it to stall.Soak in cold water prior to juicing and cut to appropriate sizes.To increase the juice yield, juice fruits and vegetables with high water content. PREPARATION TIPS:

• Slice the ingredients 1 inch thick or cut 1 inch wide and 2-6 inches long.

• Soak hard ingredient like carrots and ginger in cold water prior to juicing. EXTRACTION TIP:

• Slowly insert the ingredients one at a time.

• Pace the juicing speed ensuring each ingredient is thoroughly extracted.

• To maximize the juice yield, juice with ingredients with high water content. PREPARATION TIPS:

• Cut 8-12 wedges. EXTRACTION TIP:

• Slowly insert the ingredients one piece at a time.

• Use the pusher to push the ingredients down the feeding tube. (The pusher also helps prevent juice from spraying out of the feeding tube when extracting ingredients with high water content)

• Leave the smart cap open when juicing ingredients that create excessive foam during extraction. Foam can accumulate if operated with the smart cap closed. If there is an excessive amount of foam, use a mesh strainer to separate it from the juice. Fruits with seeds must be pitted before extraction. Cut 8-12 wedges then slowly insert the ingredients down the feeding tube.8-12 Wedges:1 inch 6 inch | (E.g. apples, oranges & tomatoes) Before Operating: How to Use the Smart Cap: Juice Yield: Adjusting the amount of pulp in the juice:

• Before Operating: If the juicer is jammed or if the drum lid does not open, press the REVERSE button and hold until it becomes dislodged. Repeat REVERSE-OFF-FORWARD as needed.

• Continue operating the juicer until all the ingredients in the juicing bowl are extracted. The drum lid may not open easily if there is a lot of pulp remaining in the juicer.

• Every ingredient yields di erent amounts of juice.

• Juicing with the smart cap closed allows mixed juice creations with di erent fruits, vegetables and liquids.

• After juicing, close the smart cap to block excess juice from dripping, especially when disassembling the juicing bowl o the base.

• When making di erent juices quickly rinse away any leftover avors by running a glass of water in the juicer with the smart cap closed.

• Leave the smart cap open when juicing ingredients that create excessive foam during extraction (e.g. apples, celery).

• Pay close attention when operating the juicer with the smart cap closed. Juice may over ow if the juice collected in the juicing bowl exceeds its capacity marked on the juicing bowl.

• For the optimal extraction and maximum juice yield, cut the ingredients following the guidelines given in this section.

• Insert ingredients slowly monitoring how the ingredients are extracted. The juice yield may vary depending on the juicing speed.

• Depending on the ingredient, you may get extra pulp in the juice when juicing continuously.

• To reduce the amount of pulp, disassemble the top-set and wash frequently. Soft fruits and vegetables (e.g. oranges, tomatoes): It is recommended that the extracted juice be consumed within 48 hours after extracting. Depending on the density of the ingredients the extracted juice can gradually show layers over time. Tip | Hard fruits and vegetables (e.g. carrots, potato): Slice hard fruits and vegetables in to thin pieces and then extract slowly. Tip | EN17

HOW TO DISASSEMBLE AND CLEAN

Note | Place the juicing bowl under running water and unplug the compression silicone to clean the pulp spout.

• Soak the juicing bowl in a solution of warm water with baking soda or little bit of bleach to clean the excess build up.Tip |• It is not necessary to completely clean the juicer in between making multiple juices during a single juicing session. • When nished with juicing, always disassemble and clean thoroughly between juicing sessions to prevent residue buildup.Tip | Clean the base with a soft damp towel and dry. Note | Remove the juicing screw, strainer and rotation wiper unit from the juicing bowl. Clean with provided brush. Note |Note |Tip |Note | Under running water, clean the outside of the juicing screw with a dish scrub. Use the tip of the cleaning brush to push out any residue in the crevices on the bottom of the juicing screw. With the smart cap closed, ll the juicing bowl with water and turn on the juicer. Let it run for a moment. Open the smart cap and let the water run out of the juicing bowl.
• If the towel is dripping wet, make sure to squeeze out the excess liquid before using it on the juicer.• After juicing ingredients with seeds, make sure to thoroughly clean the bottom crevice of the juicing screw. If this area isn’t properly cleaned, it can a ect the balance between the juicing screw and the strainer and damage the parts.• Extract all the remaining pulp in the juicing bowl before stopping the juicer.• For easier clean up, operate the juicer for an additional 30 seconds after the juice is extracted.• When the drum lid is stuck, press the REVERSE – OFF – FORWARD button in this order, switching back and forth 2 to 3 times to dislodge. Then place hands on top of the drum lid and firmly press down simultaneously turning the drum lid counter clockwise to open.• Thoroughly clean the juicing screw ensuring that the juicing screw is clean without any residue. • Completely dry before using. • Immediately clean the juicer after each use. If remaining residue in the juicer dries up, it can make disassembling and clean-up di cult. The excess build up can cause poor performance in future uses.• For easier disassembly, place the top-set in the sink and run the water through from the top of the top-set.• Thoroughly dry the bottom of the juicing screw where it connects to the metal cylinder shaft on the base. Switch OFF and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

When there is no power to the juicer:

• Check if the power cord is properly plugged in.

• Check if the drum lid and the juicing bowl are properly assembled.

• Check if the top-set and the base are properly assembled.

• Juicer will not operate if parts are not assembled properly. Low juice yield:

• Di erent ingredients hold di erent amounts of uid that will yield di erent amounts of juice.

• If the ingredients are not fresh, they may contain reduced amounts of uid, which will yield less juice.

• Check if the compression silicone is rmly inserted.

• If the ingredient itself has low water content, it may help to soak it in water before juicing.

• If juicing ingredients with small seeds, after a few servings, it may reduce the juice yield. For best result, disassemble and wash the top-set in between juicing.

• If there is seed residue on the bottom of the strainer, this can a ect juicer performance and the overall juice yield. There is too much pulp in the juice:

• When continuously juicing, and depending on the ingredient, the juice may contain a lot of ne pulp.

• To reduce the ne pulp, clean the top-set frequently and extract the pulp.

• Use a mesh strainer and put the juice through it to collect the unwanted pulp.

• If the strainer and the screw are damaged and a ecting the juicer’s performance, it is recommended the parts be replaced. *The lifetime of each part may vary depending on length and method of use and ingredients extracted.

• If too many ingredients are inserted at the same time, it may cause the juicer to stop frequently. This can lead to pulpy juice. Insert the ingredients slowly and few at a time. The drum lid will not close:

• Make sure the juicing screw is pushed all the way in to the strainer in order for the drum lid to close properly.

• If the juicing screw is not properly in position, the drum lid may not close. Odd noise from the juicer:

• Check if the parts are assembled correctly. Try reassembling the parts and listen for the odd noise.

• Do not start the juicer unless there are ingredients and/or liquid in it.

• Operating the juicer without ingredients can cause damage to the screw.

• If the juicer is operated without ingredients or liquid, the noise level can increase and also can lead to damage.

• The friction noise from the juicing screw and the strainer will disappear when ingredients are inserted into the juicer.

• If the noise occurs when ingredients are inserted into the juicer, check the size of the ingredients. Do not insert anything over 1 inch in thickness.

• Depending on the type of ingredients, the dimensions can be smaller.

• The noise can occur if the juicer is operated on an uneven or slanted surface. Place the juicer on a horizontally at surface when operating. The extracted pulp is very moist:

• During the very beginning of extraction, the pulp can be more moist.

• Depending on the ingredient’s condition, the extracted pulp can be a ected; especially when the ingredient is not fresh, the juice can be extracted with the pulp. During operation, the juicing bowl shakes.

• The juicing screw and the strainer are set up to crush and squeeze the ingredients. It is normal for the juicing screw and the strainer to vibrate.

• If the ingredient contains strong ber, the vibration from the top-set may be stronger. During juicing, the juicer stopped:

• Check the power cord and make sure it is plugged in correctly.

• Check that all the parts are correctly assembled.

• If too many ingredients are inserted at one time, this can cause the juicer to stop.

• When the juicer stops because there are too many ingredients inserted in it, press the REVERSE - OFF - FORWARD button in this order, switching back and forth 2 to 3 times.

• The reverse setting will push the ingredients up, and the forward setting will pull the ingredients down.

• If the juicer stops due to the overload protection, let the juicer cool for 30 minutes to 2 hours before juicing again.

• If there are hard seeds within the ingredients, remove them before juicing. Hard seeds can damage the juicer. Layers of separation in the juice:

• Depending on the density of the ingredients, the extracted juice may show layers of di erent juices. It is di erent from separation due to oxidation caused by juicing with a high-speed juicer. The drum lid is stuck:

• After juicing, let the juicer operate for another 30 seconds to extract the remaining pulp.

• If there is too much pulp in the top-set, this can cause the drum lid to not open. In this situation, press the REVERSE OFF - FORWARD button in this order, switching back and forth 2 to 3 times.

• Pour water down the feeding tube to rinse out the insides and then try opening the drum lid. Juice dripping down the body of the base:

• If the compression silicone on the bottom of the juicing bowl is not plugged in correctly, the juice may seep out on to the juicer base. Before assembling the parts, check and make sure the compression silicone is plugged in correctly. Is it possible to juice ingredients with tough ber?

• Ingredients like celery or ginger contain long bers that may wrap around the juicing screw and a ect the juicer’s performance. When juicing brous ingredients, do not collect more than 1 lb. of juice. After collecting this quantity or less, clean the top-set completely before juicing again. Discoloration of the plastic parts:

• After juicing, if the juicer is not cleaned right away, the remaining pulp inside the top-set can dry up which can make disassembling and cleaning hard. This can also a ect the juicer’s performance and color.

• Ingredients that are rich in carotenoids such as carrots and spinach may dye plastic parts. When the parts are dyed with carotenoids, rub vegetable oil in to the dyed areas and use mild detergent to clean.

• Vegetable oil should only be used during clean-up for parts that are discolored. Do not use vegetable oil on the juicing screw or the strainer. If vegetable oil or oil from animal fat gets on the juicing screw or the strainer, this can a ect the juicer’s performance and may result in damaged parts.

• The silicone pieces on the top-set can be detached to be thoroughly cleaned. Using for purposes other than juicing:

• This juicer is designed to juice ingredients like fruits and vegetables.

• Do not use the juicer for extracting vegetable oil.

• Do not juice ingredients with high contents of vegetable/ animal oil.

• If vegetable/animal oil gets on the juicing screw or the strainer, this can a ect the performance of the juicer and could result in damaged parts.
