INTRODUCTION TO COLD PRESS JUICER
Cold press juicing technology operates via a chewing (mastication) method to produce high
quality juice from each fruit and vegetable. The single juicing screw rst crushes, then compresses
and squeezes out the juice.
There are no fast-spinning blades that cut and pulverize the fruits and vegetables to produce juice.
With the cold press technology, more nutrients and enzymes are preserved.
Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, gs and mangoes will not produce
juices. However, when skinned, pitted, frozen and fed into the Cold Press Juicer, the pulp spout will
eject a dairy-free, creamy, nutrient-rich, fresh fruit sorbet that can be enjoyed in moments!
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Carefully unpack the Cold Press Juicer and remove all packaging and materials.
2. Place the Cold Press Juicer on a at, stable surface.
3. Following the Disassembly Instructions described in this Instruction Manual, remove the
food pusher from the hopper, then unlock and remove the lid, stainless steel juice strainer,
crushing auger, and processing bowl.
4. Wash all removable parts (food pusher, lid, stainless steel juice strainer, crushing auger,
processing bowl, 2 BPA-free juice/pulp cups) in warm water with a biodegradable,
non-abrasive liquid detergent. Rinse well and air dry. This will eliminate any traces of dust
or residue from manufacturing or shipping.
CAUTION: Use care when handling the stainless steel juice strainer.
Hold the stainless steel strainer rim only.
CAUTION: Never rinse or immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
