Frequently Asked Questions - VRTSL150 ElectriQ

Why does the juicer stop during operation?
The juicer may stop due to overload or thermal protection. Turn off, wait 20-30 minutes, then restart. If clogged, use the Reverse function to clear blockage. Reduce food size and feed slowly.
How do I clean the juicer?
Disassemble and rinse parts under water. Use the provided brush to clean the screens. For stubborn pulp, soak in hot water with 10% lemon juice. Most parts are dishwasher safe (top rack). Do not immerse the motor base.
Can I juice frozen fruits or ice?
No, do not place frozen fruits, ice, or grains in the juicer. Only use fresh or thawed ingredients.
How do I assemble the VRTSL150?
Place the motor base on a flat surface. Install the juice collector, then insert the cleaning blade with your choice of juicing screen. Add the auger, then the feeder lid, turning clockwise until it clicks. Place pulp and juice containers. Ensure safety lock engages.
What is the self-cleaning blade for?
The self-cleaning blade allows you to clean between different ingredients without disassembly. After juicing, pour warm water through the feeder while the juicer runs to flush out residue.
Why is my pulp very wet?
Fibrous fruits or vegetables may clog the screen. Stop juicing, disassemble, and clean the screen with the brush. Feed food slowly and in smaller pieces. Use the coarse screen for more fiber.
How do I make nut milk with this juicer?
Soak nuts (e.g., almonds) for at least 10 hours. Drain and add fresh water. Feed equal parts nuts and water into the juicer simultaneously. Use the coarse screen for creamier milk. Strain through a cheesecloth if desired.
What is the smart mixer?
The smart mixer is a cap on the juice outlet that allows you to blend different juices as they come out. Turn it to mix flavors seamlessly. Remember to open it before the juice collector overflows.
Can I juice leafy greens like kale or wheatgrass?
Yes, but wrap them together or mix with harder fruits/vegetables for best extraction. Use the fine screen for smoother juice. Wheatgrass works well when combined with carrots or apples.
The juicer emits a burning smell. Is it normal?
A slight smell may occur during first use as components break in. If the smell persists after several uses, stop using and contact support. Ensure the unit is not overloaded.

  1. Place the pulp cup so it fits in position on the left hand side of the juicer's main body. Place the juice jug under the juice outlet. Slide the food pusher down the feeder. The pusher can only fit one way. You are ready to juice now.

IMPORTANT: If the Juice bowl and lid cover are not correctly assembled, the juicer will not operate. This is a safety feature. Please follow the step by step procedure above to make sure the juicer operates correctly.

Using your Juicer

  1. Clean fruit and vegetables thoroughly, ready for juicing.
  2. If juicing fruit with stones or hard seeds, pit the fruit. Remove any hard inedible skins, i.e. skin of melons, pineapples and mangoes prior to juicing.
  3. If citrus fruits are being used, remove the skin prior to juicing.
  4. If pieces of fruit or vegetables are very large, chop them to a size that will fit down the juicer's feeder. Cut hard vegetable as carrots in long slim stripe.
  5. Fibrous fruits or vegetables must be cut in small pieces. Remove pineapple core before juicing and mix with soft fruits.
  6. Ensure the juicer is locked in position.
  7. Press the power switch to On to start juicing.
  8. Press the food pusher slowly down until all fruit or vegetables have gone through the juicer.
  9. Do not press the food pusher rapidly as the juicer will not be as effective.
  10. The juice from the fruit and/or vegetables will flow directly into the juice collector and the pulp will be collected in the pulp bin.

  11. Use the smart juice mixer to get the best juice mixing results when using several fruits. 90 not forget to open the juicer mixer cap before the juice collector bowl is full to avoid spillage.

  12. If the juicer stops suddenly during the operation, return the button to middle position, than after few seconds press reverse. This will detach and push upwards the pulp trapped in-between auger and cleaning blade.

Repeat the operation 2-3 times until the juicer is working normal. Keep the juicer top in place with your hand while doing this. If simple reverse does not work disassemble the unit and clean the juice collecting bowl, strainer and cleaning blade.

  1. When juicing is complete, ensure that the juicer's control button is set to the middle OFF position, the power is turned off at the outlet and the juicer can be unplugged. It is now safe to disassemble the unit.
  2. If the Juice collector is stuck and does not detach easily from the base; plug in and press the reverse button "R" for 3-5 seconds. Repeat this process 2-3 times. Then push the bowl upward while turning.
  3. The juicer is equipped with a self-cleaning blade that insures continuous juicing operation.

OPEN CLOSE

CAUTION: do not put your hand or any other object in the feeder during operation.

Grip the juice bowl and turn it to the open position (anti-clockwise) slightly, it will click out of position. The juicing bowl and all the internals can now be lifted off the motor base for cleaning.

Switching On / Off

Turn the power button to ON position. The juicer will start cold pressing your fruits, vegetables or leafy greens. The slow juicer is quiet and the auger rotates to around 55 RPM (the slower the better). You can use Reverse setting on the button if the auger gets blocked.

Stop Reverse Press Reverse Forward

Notes:

9o not leave the juicer switched on continuously for more than 28-25 minutes - If the appliance stops working, possibly due to its thermal protection system, switch off the appliance and allow it to cool down for 28-38 minutes before switching it on again.

Juicing

Cut food items into pieces for optimal extraction. 9o not place grains, ice or frozen fruit into the juicer. 9o not push the food down with excessive force. The pusher is designed to gently push food down the feeder if food becomes stuck. Insert ingredients at a regular speed, allowing all the pulp to be extracted. For maximum efficiency, do not rush this process.

When juicing leafy greens or wheat grass, it is suggested that you mix it with fruits or other hard vegetables for optimal results. Soak nuts in water for minimum 18 hours

before making nut milk and add plenty of extra water. Use a strainer to filter nut milk to achieve smooth texture. Check the recipes at the end of the operating instructions for ideas.

The juice from fresh fruit and vegetables is high in nutritional content and an important part of a balanced diet. When selecting fruit and vegetables for juicing, always select fresh and well ripened specimens. Ripened and fresh fruit and vegetables carry more flavor and juice than those that are not properly ripened. Cold fruits or vegetables produce a better juice. Juice is best consumed when freshly made as this is when its vitamin and mineral content is highest. Cold pressed juice will keep better than normal centrifuged juice. 9epending on the fruits used you can refrigerate the juice for a maximum 24 hours. Your juicer can handle most varieties of fruit and vegetables. If using fruit with hard, inedible skin (i.e. watermelons, pineapple, mangoes etc.) always peel the skin before placing in the juicer. The skin of citrus fruit should also be removed before fruit is placed in the juicer. For better tasting citrus juice, also remove the inner white peel from bitter fruit like grapefruit. Fruits with stones or hard seeds (i.e. mangoes, nectarines, apricots, and cherries) should be pitted before juicing. % small amount of lemon can be added to apple juice to prevent the juice browning.

The juicer is not suitable for juicing very hard and starchy fruits or vegetables such as sugar cane. When juicing fruit and vegetables of different consistency it may help to juice different combinations, i.e. juice soft fruit first, (i.e. oranges) then follow with hard fruit (i.e. apples). This will help you achieve maximum juice extraction. If juicing herbs or leafy vegetables, wrap them together to form a bundle before placing in the juicer or combine them with other ingredients. Use the coarse juicing screen if you like a rawer juice with more fiber.

NOTES:

  • The juicer will only function correctly if all parts have been assembled correctly.
  • 9o not insert hands or other objects into the feeding tube to press food ingredients.
    %lways use the provided pusher. 9o not exert too much pressure on the pusher.
  • Only operate the appliance when the pulp jug is placed under the pulp outlet.

Regularly empty the pulp jug when processing larger quantities of fruit or vegetables. Empty the pulp jug when it is full.

- Only operate the appliance when the juice jug is placed under the juice outlet.

Regularly empty the juice jug when processing larger quantities of fruit or vegetables. Empty the juice jug when it is full.

natural_image Line drawings of various kitchen appliances including a blender, brush, and water filter (no text or labels)

Notes:

Before cleaning or maintenance, switch off the appliance, remove the mains plug from the wall socket and wait until the appliance has cooled down.

  • 90 not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
  • 90 not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance.
  • 9o not use sharp objects to clean the appliance.
  • 9o not sterilize any accessories with water with a temperature higher than 80^ or in the microwave to prevent deformation or damage. ^3he materials of all parts that come into contact with food must be clean and hygienic.
    • 1regularly check the appliance for possible damage and stop using it if any damage.

- Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth. Thoroughly dry the outside of the appliance with a clean, dry cloth.

- Clean the accessories:

• Disassemble the appliance.

- Clean the accessories in soapy water. Rinse the accessories under running water. Thoroughly dry the accessories.

- The easy way to clean the juicer is to use the self-cleaning blade provided with the juicer to wash the juicer between juicing different fruits or vegetables or before disassembly. After juicing, we recommend pouring tepid water through the juicer feeder and start the juicer with the smart mixer on for 2-3 minutes. Run this cycle for 2-3 times until the water comes clean. Empty the juice collector every time and never let it fill for more than 3/4. Should go through about 1 litre of water.

- Also use provided brush to clean the juicing screens. Simply place brush inside the juicing screen and under running water twist the brush left and right to remove the pulp from the strainer. When finished hold the screen up towards the light to ensure the fine mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes are blocked, soak the juicing screen in hot water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the blocked holes.

Tips:

If the juicing screen cannot be cleaned immediately after use, soak it in hot water. If pulp is left to dry on the screen, it may clog the fine mesh holes, thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juicer. Do not soak the strainer in bleach or any chemicals. Wash the juice bowl, auger, juicing screens, juice collector, pulp and juicing cup in warm soapy water then clean with the small nylon brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Recipes

Wash all fruit and vegetables well before juicing. Only remove the skin from the fruit and vegetables when advised to do so. Cut fruit and vegetables to a size that will fit easily into the feeder of the slow juicer. Try to avoid cutting fruit and vegetables too far in advance of the actual juicing time as this will reduce the nutrient levels.
