ENGLISH
Low juice yield:
•
Different ingredients hold different amounts of fluid that will yield different
amounts of juice. If the ingredients are not fresh, they may contain reduced
amounts of fluid, which will yield less juice.
•
Check if the silicone lip is firmly inserted into the bowl.
•
If the ingredients have low water content, it may help to soak them in water
before juicing. If juicing ingredients with small seeds, the yield may reduce due
to seed residue. 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 affect
juicer performance and the overall juice yield.
There is too much pulp in the juice:
•
When continuously juicing, depending on the ingredients, the juice may
contain a lot of fine pulp. To reduce the fine pulp, clean the top-set frequently
and the pulp.
•
Use the sieve strainer and put the juice through it to collect the unwanted pulp.
•
If the strainer and the auger are damaged and affecting 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 excessive pulp in the 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 unit.
•
If excessive noise occurs when ingredients are inserted into the juicer, check
the size of the ingredients. Do not insert anything over 1 inch in thickness Noise
can occur if the juicer is operated on an uneven or slanted surface. Place the
juicer on a horizontally flat surface when operating.

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 silicone lip 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
Discolouration 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 affect the juicer's performance and colour.
•
Ingredients that are rich in carotenoid such as carrots and spinach may dye
plastic parts. When the parts are dyed with carotenoid, rub vegetable oil into
the dyed areas and use mild detergent to clean.
•
Vegetable oil should only be used during clean-up for parts that are
discoloured.
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 affect 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 affect
the performance of the juicer and could result in damaged parts.
