Safety Precautions
! Read all instructions.
! To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the body (motor) in
water or any other liquid .
! Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by children.
! Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before disassembly
for cleaning.
! Avoid contact with moving parts.
! Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
! The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer
may cause damage and will void warranty.
! Do not let cord hang over edge of counter.
! Make sure the motor has stopped completely before dissembling.
! Do not put your ngers or other objects into the juicer while it is in
operation. If food becomes lodged in the opening, use the provided
food plunger to push it down or press the button into reverse mode. If
ingredients are still lodged in the juicing drum, turn o and disassemble
to remove remaining food. You may need to cut produce smaller, or feed
ingredients slower into the chute to prevent this.

Operating Instructions
Press the power switch into the ON position. Ensure that the safety switch
is unlocked and tap the door to open. Then push your larger round ingredients
into the chute allowing it to fall towards the auger. Insert other ingredients into
the smaller feeding chute individually. For best results add ingredients at an
even, slow pace to ensure maximum extraction is achieved.
CHOOSE YOUR STRAINER
Extra Fine Strainer
This strainer is half blank, and half has
small holes to create a smoother juice
with less pulp.
Fine Strainer
This strainer has small holes to create a
ne juice with a small amount of pulp.
Coarse Strainer
This strainer has larger holes to create
a whole-fruit juice (more pulp/bre
included).
Sorbet Strainer
This strainer is blank with no holes to
give you the option of making sorbets,
nut butters and more.
REVERSE FUNCTION
If you notice any ingredients have become stuck or are refusing to move
use the tamper to gently push ingredients downwards. The reverse switch is
specically for this reason. Press the reverse switch down for 3-5 seconds and
repeat 2-3 times if necessary.
Once the auger has come to a complete stop press the forward switch
to continue.

JUICE OUTLET CAP
Close the juice outlet cap to mix your juice inside your juicer. Open the juice
outlet cap to dispense as required into the juice container.
CARING FOR THE SILICONE PULP PLUG
It is important to ensure that the pulp plug is always closed before juicing.
When you are cleaning the juicing drum (bowl) gently unplug the seal and
rinse under water.
Replace the seal after cleaning so your juicer is ready to use next time.
SILICONE COVER
Ensure the silicone cover is tted prior to use. It is another measure to ensure
that the motor is sealed from any juice overspill.
Clean after use by removing it from the motor base. Keep your spare silicone
covers handy in case of misplacement.

Troubleshooting
My juicer
does not
operate when
the switch
is in the ON
position
1. Make sure the power cord is properly secured into
the power source and that the switch is turned to
the ‘ON’ position.
2. Check that the hopper is assembled correctly.
PLEASE NOTE: If the hopper has not been securely
locked in place with the arrows aligning, the
appliance will not work for safety reasons. This
is due to a magnetic safety strip located inside
the hopper which must align with the matching
magnetic strip inside the base.
3. Check the appliance has been assembled
according to the instructions in this manual.
My juicer
has stopped
during
operation
1. Reverse / REV to unwind any bre that is caught
around the auger.
2. If your juicer has stopped during operation, please
check that the hopper is correctly aligned with the
base. If the alignment shifts during operation the
juicer will stop.
3. Turn your juicer o, reset the hopper and you should
be able to continue.
PLEASE NOTE: The BioChef Quantum Whole Slow
Juicer has an automatic motor cut o safety feature
that will activate if the juicer is overloaded. This has
been designed to help prevent accidental damage
and to help extend the life of the machine.
4. To reset your juicer take o the hopper lid and
remove any ingredients in the juice bowl.

The hopper
will not open
The hopper opens in an anti-clockwise way. If the
hopper will not open easily, try the following:
1. Allow your BioChef Quantum Whole Slow Juicer to
run without adding more ingredients before turning
o and attempting to remove the hopper.
2. Switch your juicer into reverse for a few moments to
help dislodge any remaining ingredients around the
auger and feeding chute of the hopper.
PLEASE NOTE: The auger turns in a clockwise direction
which is opposite of the hopper. This may cause an
unintentional tightening of the hopper and result in
diculty releasing the hopper from the juicing bowl.
3. After you have fed the last ingredients into the
hopper, let it run until all the juice and pulp has run
through the machine. Pour one or two glasses of
water down the hopper to ush out much of the left
over pulp.
4. Lift o the entire juicing section before trying to
separate.
The bowl
shakes when
squeezing
A slight shaking of the motor while in operation is
completely normal. Variations beyond this depend
on the bre content of the ingredients. Hard or tough
ingredients such as carrot and beetroots may cause
the bowl to shake more than soft and juicy ingredients.

My juice is a
little pulpy,
how can I x
this?
1. Make sure the yellow silicone plug is fully inserted
into its slot. This part is removable to assist with
cleaning but is often not reinserted correctly. It
acts as a pressure point to ensure that the pulp is
ejected from the pulp tube.
2. The outlet can sometimes get blocked if
ingredients are fed too quickly into the juicer.
Please try slowing down the rate at which you insert
produce into the juicer.
3. Try cutting ingredients into smaller pieces (3 to 5cm)
so the vertical auger will be able to fully crush and
process before the next ingredient is fed in.
4. Fresh and refrigerated ingredients will have rmer
bres and greater water content and will be less
pulpy in constitution.
5. Over time, the silicone spinning basket blades may
become blunt. Please contact the Customer Care
Centre or website for ordering replacement parts.

FAQs
Do I need to refrigerate fruits and
vegetables before juicing them?
Apart from tasting better when
juiced, refrigerated fruits and
vegetables will provide a higher
yield of juice than room temperature
produce. This is because the bre
in refrigerated produce is rmer
when chilled and consequently
provides more juice when crushed
compared to softer or warmer fruits
and vegetables, which may also be in
a partial stage of dehydration (losing
water content).
What’s the best way to prepare
fruits, vegetables and leafy greens
for juicing in the BioChef Quantum?
VEGETABLES
We recommend preparing your
vegetables by cutting them into
pieces that will simply fall through
the feeding chute without assistance.
FRUITS
We recommend preparing your fruits
by cutting them into pieces that will
simply fall through the feeding chute
without assistance. We recommend
removing skins from most citrus
fruits although one third of the skin of
lemons and limes may be left on.
LEAFY GREENS
Roll leaves into parcels and then fold
them in half, ensuring that the parcels
will simply fall through the feeding
chute without assistance. You may
notice with some leafy greens that
they can cause the BioChef Quantum
to clog. This can be remedied by
adding a few pieces of carrot or
other brous vegetables, which will
help to push through the leafy green
material. Also, wet leaves will not pass
through the juicer as well as drier
leaves, so when washing produce,
pat dry with a kitchen towel before
inserting into the BioChef Quantum.
The vertical crushing and squeezing
mechanism of the juicer means
that the smaller you cut the pieces
before you feed them into the shoot,
the less likely that the bres will
become tangled around the internal
mechanism. For best results cut your
ingredient into 3 - 5cm pieces.
What are the best apples for juicing?
We nd that fresh and chilled green
apples are the best. Nutritionally,
green apples contain various
antioxidants, are a good source of
vitamin C and are considered to
be able to prevent the formation of
gall stones in the bladder and help
remedy liver and kidney disorders.

Do I need to peel citrus for juicing?
We recommend peeling the skin
from mandarins, oranges and
grapefruit prior to juicing as the skin
has a bitter taste and this will transfer
through to the juice. The skin of
lemons and limes do not have this
bitter avour and as such can be
juiced. Leave about one third of the
skin of lemons and limes on.
What can I juice with a BioChef
Quantum and what should I avoid?
The BioChef Quantum can juice
just about all types of fruits and
vegetables. It is not a food processor
so do not place any of the following
in the juicer:
• hard coconut bre – soft, young
esh is ok
• seeds
• unsoaked/roasted nuts
• legumes
• sugar cane
• frozen ingredients - for sorbet
remove fruit from freezer 5-10
minutes before using.
• sh or meat
• liquorice root or other woody
materials
• dried herbs and spices
• stone fruit with stones in
• olives
Can I make soy, nut and rice milk?
Yes you can easily make nut milk
using your juicer, simply refer to the
Recipes section for instructions.
Can I grind seeds, grains or legumes
with the BioChef Quantum?
No. The BioChef Quantum is not a
grinder and using this machine as
such will void the warranty.
Can the BioChef Quantum make
cold press olive oil?
No. This is a dierent process
to juicing and requires dierent
machinery.
Can I make frozen sorbets?
Yes you can easily make frozen fruit
sorbets using your juicer. Refer to the
recipes section for instructions.
Can I re-juice the discarded pulp in
order to get more juice?
The BioChef Quantum is very
eective at extracting high yields
but some users may put through the
discarded pulp again to try and gain
more juice yield. The results vary
from dierent ingredients so feel free
to experiment. Try mixing the pulp
with blended fruits to make fruit roll
ups. We recommend a BioChef food
dehydrator for this.
Is the BioChef Quantum suitable for
commercial environments?
Yes! The Quantum can run for up to
60 minutes continuously. Eectively,
you can make up to 40L of juice per
hour (apples tested).

How long can I keep the juice
before the nutritonal integrity has
depleted?
There’s no specic answer to this
as there are too many variables
based on the type of produce and
storage method. When storing juice,
refrigerate in a glass airtight jar or
bottle for best results. This storage
method will usually help retain the
nutritional integrity of your juice for
up to 48 hours.
Can I buy spare parts for my juicer?
Yes, simply contact your local service
provider (details located in rear
of manual) or order online on our
website.

Cleaning
The BioChef Quantum parts are dishwasher-safe (top shelf). For best results,
rinse prior to placing into the dishwasher to remove any stubborn bres.
You can rinse your juicer easily after use by closing the juice outlet cap, and
running water through the juicer. Simply open the juice outlet cap to ush the
water through.
If hand-washing simply rinse under water, and use the desired cleaning brush
to scrub any tough bres. If you are in a hurry, simply leave the parts soaking
in water so the bres remain soft and pliable.
Your juicer comes with two specialised cleaning brushes. The ne cleaning
brush is ideal for cleaning hard-to-reach places.
We recommend soaking your parts in a solution of bi-carb soda, water and
white vinegar or lemon juice once per month or on occasion. This does a great
job of removing any juice stains or residue that may build up over time.

Green Juice
Servings: 4
• 1 small bunch curly kale roughly
chopped
• 1 lemon peeled and quartered
• 1 inch ginger peeled
• 1 cucumber cut into long strips
• 2 granny smith apples cored and
sliced
• 4 celery stalks
Green juices are rich in chlorophyll
in its natural state – the way nature
intended.
One of chlorophyll’s most important
functions is the oxygenation of the
bloodstream. It is necessary for
health to select foods that feed
rather than rob the body of oxygen.
Without sucient oxygen in the
blood, we are prone to develop
symptoms of low energy, sluggish
digestion and metabolism, leading
to deterioration in vitality and an
increase in the onset of disease.
The addition of limes and apples to
green juices greatly assist to make
juices more tolerable to the palate.
Ginger
Zinger
Servings: 3
• 2 medium apples
• 5 carrots
• ½ inch fresh ginger
• ¼ lemon (peel removed to avoid
bitterness)
Pineapple
Pick-Me-Up
Servings: 4
• 3 medium carrots
• ½ small, ripened pineapple
(peeled, cored, and cut in quarters)
• 1 orange (peel removed

Immune
Booster
Servings: 1 cup
• 1-3 cloves of garlic
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 1 bunch of rainbow carrots (can
substitute for any carrots), tops
removed
This healing juice is a great remedy
for that cold that just won’t go
away. Carrots are a good source
of vitamin C, vitamin B complex,
potassium, iron and sodium which all
work to boost the immune system
and improve liver function. Raw
garlic is a natural anti-microbial anti-
inammatory and powerful tool for
boosting the immune system.
Mocktail
Mojito
Servings: 3
• 1 small bunch mint
• 1 small bunch parsley
• 1 lime (peel removed)
• 1⁄2 inch fresh ginger
• 2 cucumbers
• 1 green apple
Savoury
Gazpacho
Servings: 1 - 2
• 4 ripened plum tomatoes
• 1 large cucumber
• 2 stalks celery
• 1 red bell pepper
• ¼ small red onion
• 2 cups fresh parsley (leaves and
stems roughly chopped and
packed)
• 1 lime (peel removed)
Tomatoes are a great alkaliser
when consumed without sugars or
starches. Beetroot is a great blood
builder. Celery improves digestion.
Red Capsicum is good for skin, hair
and nails. Cucumber is a natural
diuretic. Parsley is high in minerals
including potassium.

Sorbets
Assemble the juicer using the sorbet
strainer. We recommend allowing
your frozen ingredients to thaw for
5-10 minutes before feeding them
into the juicer chute for best results
and to prevent any damage to the
juicer and its parts.
Banana Raspberry Sorbet
Servings: 2
• 2 frozen bananas
• 2 cups of raspberries
Banana Cinnamon Sorbet
Servings: 2
• 4 frozen bananas
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. honey
Soy, Rice
& Nut Milks
Soak soybeans, rice and/or nuts
in ltered water for a minimum of
8 hours, water should cover them
completely. Rinse thoroughly until
water runs clear and drain.
Feed the mixture into the chute
simultaneously with the same
volume of ltered water. We
recommend using the ne strainer
for smoothest results. For creamier
results use less water, or for a thinner
milk, increase the amount of water.
This works best using a large spoon
and scooping the mixture from a
container.
Keep the juice outlet cap closed
to pre-mix the milk. To reduce
sediment, place a sieve over the
collection bowl or strain through a
muslin cloth.
If using soybeans, the resulting
mixture can be used to make tofu.
For avoured milks, try the following
ideas:
• add berries, banana and other
fruits
• add a small amount of salt and/or
sweetener eg; raw honey or maple
syrup
• add vanilla and a pinch of cumin,
nutmeg, cinnamon or cardamom.
