For safe operation · Operating the juicer without ingredients can cause damage to the screws. · Do not continuously operate the juicer for more than 10 minutes. This can damage the motor from overheating. · After continuous use, let the juicer rest for 10 minutes before starting another session. · If the juicer stops due to the overload protection, let the juicer cool for 30 minutes to 2 hours before juicing again. · Do not put fingers or other objects into the food chute. Always use provided pusher when needed. If other objects are inserted into the food chute during operation, such materials can get stuck and damage the juicer parts and/or cause injury. · 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. · 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. · Do not reinsert the extracted pulp into the juicer. This can cause the juicer to stop or cause the drum lid not to open. · After juicing ingredients with seeds like grapes, thoroughly clean all the crevices on the bottom of the juicing screw.Step 1: Topset assemblyNote:· Wash the parts before first use.1. Firmly insert the compression silicone into the slot below the pulp spout.
2. Place the juicing screw into the strainer. Turn and press down on it until it clicks into place.Note: · The juicer may leak if not assembled properly. · Ensure that the compression silicone and silicone ring are assembled properly. · The juicing screw needs to be locked in-place in order to close the drum lid. 3. Place the strainer into the juicing bowl ensuring the red dot on the strainer is aligned with the red dot on the juicing bowl.
4. Place the drum lid on to the juicing bowl aligning the red dot on the drum lid with the red dot on the juicing bowl. Turn clockwise to close, aligning the red on the drum lid with the lock mark.Step 2: Top-set and base assemblyTip: For easy assembly, hold the drum lid by grabbing the food chute and turn clockwise as shown in the above illustration.
1. Place the bowl on the base, the 3 holes of bowl lock into the 3 feet at the base. 2. To lock the juicer in-place, turn it clockwise. To unlock, turn the juicer counterclockwise.
3. Place the pulp cup under the pulp spout and place the juice cup under the juice spout as shown in the illustration.Note: · Juicer will not operate if parts are not assembled properly, or may leak duringoperation. · Ensure all steps have been followed correctly before operating juicer.
Disassembly Step 1: Switch OFF and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.Note: · Extract all the remaining pulp in the juicing bowl before stopping the juicer. · For easy clean up, operate the juicer for an additional 30 seconds after the juiceis extracted. · When the drum lid is stuck, press the REVERSE, OFF, then FORWARD buttonsin 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 while simultaneously turning the drum lid counterclockwise to open. · When moving the appliance, do not lift by grabbing the food chute. Always lift the appliance by grabbing the base or handle. Step 2: Take out the bowl from the base.
OPERATIONStep 1: After preparing the ingredients, plug the power cord into a wall outlet.Note: · Do not touch the power cord with wet hands, it may cause electrical shock,short-circuit or fire. · Check the safety of the wall outlet.Step 2: Press the ON button to operate.Note: · On (Forward): Pulls down and slowly masticates the ingredients. · RVS (Reverse): Pushes the ingredients back up to dislodge them.If the ingredients become jammed in the screw and the drum lid does not open, press the OFF button. Then press and hold the REVERSE button until the ingredients become dislodged. Repeat REVERSE-OFF-ON as often as needed to achieve the desired result. Step 3: Insert the prepared ingredients one piece at a time.· With fibrous leafy vegetables (celery, kale, etc.), be sure to separate each stem. Cut the outer stems that are thick and tough to 4″ long or less. Bundle up the leafy vegetables while inserting into the juicer. Alternate between leafy parts and stem.· Before extracting, remove hard seeds or pits in ingredients. · When juicing frozen fruits with small seeds, ensure that even the seeds arecompletely thawed. · After inserting ingredients use the pusher when it is necessary. Too much use of thepusher may affect the juice quality. · Intermittently use the pusher for soft ingredients like tomatoes. Constant use ofpusher for soft ingredients may also affect the juice quality.
Step 4: Use the smart cap to make mixed juices. Stop juice from dripping or rinse between different juices.· Juicing with the smart cap closed creates various mixed juices when different fruits and vegetables, milk, banana, beans etc., are selected.· After juicing, close the smart cap to stop the juice from dripping, especially when disassembling the juicing bowl off the base.· When making different juices quickly rinse away any leftover flavours 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 overflow if the juice collected in the juicing bowl exceeds its capacity marked on the bowl.Step 5: After the juice and pulp are completely extracted, switch the unit OFF.· If the remaining ingredients in the juicing bowl have not been extracted completely, the drum lid may not open easily. After each extraction, run the juicer for an additional 30 seconds to let the juicer extract the remaining pulp.· When the drum lid is stuck, press the REVERSE-OFF-ON 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 while simultaneously turning the drum lid counterclockwise to open.· Depending on the ingredients, pour water down the food chute to rinse out the interior of the juicing bowl and then attempt to remove the drum lid.

Experience the best quality juice by understanding each ingredient’s characteristics and knowing the optimal way of handling the ingredients. For best result, each ingredient should be prepared and extracted depending on its characteristics and properties.
INGREDIENT PREPARATIONBefore 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-ON 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 different amounts of juice.Juice yield · 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.Soft fruits and vegetables (e.g. oranges, tomatoes)
Preparation tips · Cut 1-4 wedges.
1-4 wedgesPeel the skin off oranges and for tomatoes and apples, take out the stem.If the ingredients are larger than the food chute cut the ingredients into pieces that will fit into the food chute.Fruits with seeds must be pitted before extraction. Cut to 1-4 wedges then slowly insert the ingredients down the food chute.
Extraction tips· Slowly insert the ingredients one piece at a time.· Use the pusher to push the ingredients down the food chute. The pusher also helps prevent juice from spraying out of the food chute 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.· 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.· If there is an excessive amount of foam, use a mesh strainer to separate it from the juice.· When an ingredient is being masticated by the juicing screw, the squeezed ingredient may splash juice through the food chute. Use the pusher to block out the juice splash when juicing.How to use the smart cap· Juicing with the smart cap closed allows mixed juice creations with different fruits, vegetables and liquids.· After juicing, close the smart cap to block excess juice from dripping, especially when disassembling the juicing bowl off the base.· When making juices, quickly rinse away any leftover flavours 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 overflow if the juice collected in the juicing bowl exceeds its capacity marked on the bowl.Adjusting the amount of pulp in the juice· Depending on the ingredient, you may get extra pulp in the juice when juicing continuously.· To reduce the amount of pulp, disassemble the topset and wash frequently.

it to stall.
To increase the juice yield, juice fruits and vegetables with high water content.
Preparation tips · Slice the ingredients 1″ thick or cut 1″wide and 2-6″ long. · Soak hard ingredients like carrots and ginger in cold water prior to juicing.Extraction tips · Slowly insert the ingredients one at a time. · Pace the juicing speed ensuring each ingredient is thoroughly extracted. · To maximise the juice yield, juice the ingredients with high water content.Ingredients with small seeds (e.g. raspberry, pomegranate, grapes) Slowly insert ingredients with small seeds to prevent the seeds from clogging the strainer.
Insert ingredients slowly to minimise the amount of leftover seeds in the strainer.
For best results, juice the ingredients with high amount of fluid (e.g. apple, pear).
Preparation tips· When juicing frozen ingredients (e.g. raspberry, strawberry), make sure they are completely thawed.· Thoroughly rinse ingredients like grapes. Take the grapes off and discard the stem.
· For pomegranate, discard the skin and juice only the inner part.Extraction tips· Depending on the size of the grapes, insert 3-5 grapes at a time while monitoring the extraction result.· Thaw frozen ingredients like pomegranate and raspberry then insert about 1 tablespoon (5g) at a time.· Frozen ingredients usually lose significant amount of fluid when thawing. When juicing, you can mix milk or yogurt to balance the fluid lost.Caution: If the lid does not open due to excessive amount of small seeds left in the juicing bowl, continuously run the juicer for 30 seconds to extract any leftover seeds. If the lid is still struck, repeat REVERSE-OFF-ON until the ingredients become dislodged. Then twist the lid to open while pushing downwards on the lid with palms (depending on the ingredient, pour some water down the food chute for quick rinsing to help dislodging).Fibrous and/or tough leafy ingredients (e.g. celery, kale, pineapple):· Fibrous ingredients like celery and kale should be cut into small lengths before juicing.· If the pulp outlet is blocked by the fibrous ingredients, press the REVERSE-OFF-ON button in this order, switching back and forth 2-3 times.

It’s best to juice the ingredients with high amount of fluid, like carrots, apples and other fibrous ingredients. (9:1 recommended ratio)
Preparation tips· Soak fibrous ingredients in cold water for about 30 minutes before cutting them.· Separate each stem and cut the outer stems that are thick and tough to 4″ long or less.
Extraction tips· One at a time, slowly insert the prepared ingredients.· Roll leaves into spiral as inserting into the juicer.· Insert the leafy part of the ingredients first then alternate between leafy parts and stems.· For ingredients like wheatgrass, grab a handful and insert a bundle.Caution: The fibres from tough ingredients like celery can wrap around the juicing screw and affect the juicer’s performance. Cut the stems that are thick and tough to 4″ long or less.· Foam can build up from juicing fibrous ingredients. Use strainer to remove the foam before serving.· For ingredients like pineapple, slice off the rind of the pineapple and cut around the fibrous core. Cut the flesh of the pineapple to small pieces.· Recommended amount of juicing per session is 500g.When juicing more than 500g, wash the topset before continuing to juice.
CLEANING & CARE1. Remove the juicing screw and strainer from the juicing bowl. Clean with provided brush.
Note: ·· ·
Immediately clean the juicer after each use. If remaining residue in the juicer dries up, it can make disassembling and clean-up difficult. The excess build-up can cause poor performance in future uses.For easy disassembly, place the topset in the sink and run water through from the top of the topset.Thoroughly dry the bottom of the juicing screw where it connects to the metal cylinder shaft on the base.
2. Place the juicing bowl under running water and unplug the compression silicone to clean the pulp spout.
Tips:Soak the juicing bowl in a solution of warm water with baking soda or little bit of bleach to clean the excess build-up.
TROUBLESHOOTING
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.· Ensure that the topset and base of the juicer have been assembled correctly, following the step by step instructions in the Assembly portion of this guide.· Juicer will not operate if parts are not assembled properly.
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 compression silicone is firmly inserted.· If the ingredient itself has low water content, soak it in water before juicing.· If juicing ingredients with small seeds, after few servings, it may reduce the juice yield. For best results, disassemble and wash the topset 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 and depending on the ingredient, the juice may contain a lot of fine pulp.· To reduce the fine pulp, clean the topset 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 affecting the juicer’s performance, it is recommended to replace the parts.· 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 doesn’t close
· Make sure the juicing screw is pushed all the way into the strainer 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 can lead to damage.· If the noise occurs when ingredients are inserted into the juicer, check the size of the ingredients .Do not insert anything over 1″ 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 flat surface when operating.
The extracted pulp is very moist
· During the very beginning of extraction, the pulp can be moist.· Depending on the ingredient’s condition, the extracted pulp can be affected; especially when the ingredient is not fresh, the juice can be extracted with the pulp.
· The juicing screw and the strainer are set up to crush
During operation, the juicing bowl shakes
and squeeze the ingredients. It is normal for the juicing screw and the strainer to vibrate.
· If the ingredient contains strong fibre, the vibration
from the topset may be stronger.
Layers of separation in the juice
· Depending on the density of the ingredients, the extracted juice many show layers of different juices. It is different from separation due to oxidation caused by juicing with a high-speed juicer.
During juicing, the juicer stopped
· Check the power cord and make sure it is plugged in correctly.· Ensure that the juicer has been assembled correctly, following the step by step instructions in the Assembly portion of this guide.· If too many ingredients are inserted at one time, this can cause the juicer to stop.· If the juicer stops because there are too many ingredients inserted in it, press the REVERSE-OFFON button in this order, switching back and forth 2 to 3 times.· The REVERSE setting will push the ingredients up and ON 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.
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 topset, this can cause the drum lid to not open. In this situation, press the REVERSE-OFF-ON button in this order, switching back and forth 2 to 3 times.· Pour water down the food chute to rinse out the inside 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.
· Ingredients like celery or ginger contain long fibres
that may wrap around the juicing screw and affect

ingredients, do not collect more than 500gof juice.
After collecting this quantity or less, clean the topset
completely before juicing again.
Discoloration of the plastic parts
· After juicing, if the juicer is not cleaned right away, the remaining pulp inside the topset 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 carotenoids such as carrots and spinach may dye plastic parts.· When the parts are dyed with carotenoids, 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.· Silicone pieces on the topset can be detached for thorough cleaning.
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 the juicer stops during operation Switch the button to OFF position then press and hold the REVERSE button until the ingredients become dislodged.· Repeat REVERSE-OFF-ON as needed.· ON (FORWARD): Pulls down the food.· OFF: Stop the operation.· REV (REVERSE): Pushes the food back up.
