ASSEMBLY
STEP 1
Topset assembly
Align the red dots ●on each part and
assemble in the order shown. Once
assembled, turn the drum lid clockwise to
close.
STEP 2
Topset and base assembly
Place the bowl on the base, the 3 holes of
bowl lock into the 3 feet at the base.

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 place fingers or other objects near 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 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 goes inside 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 at
the bottom of the juicing screw.
Step 1: To p-set assembly
1. Firmly insert the compression silicone into the slot below the pulp spout.
Note:
•Wash the parts before first use.

2. Place the Juicing screw into the strainer. Turn and press down on it until it clicks into
place.
3. Place the strainer into the juicing bowl, ensure the red dot on the strainer is aligned with
the red dot on the juicing bowl.
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.

4. Place the drum lid on to the juicing bowl, align the red dot on the drum lid with the red dot
on the juicing bowl. Turn clockwise to close, align the red dot on the drum lid with the lock
mark.
Step 2: Top-set and base assembly
Tip:
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 will 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 during
operation.
•Ensure all steps have been followed correctly before operating juicer.

Disassembly
Step 1: Switch OFF and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Step 2: Take out the bowl from the base.
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 juice
is extracted.
•When the drum lid is stuck, press the REVERSE, OFF, then ON buttons 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.
•When moving the appliance, do not lift by grabbing the food chute. Always lift
the appliance by grabbing the base or handle.

Step 1: After preparing the ingredients, plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
Step 2: Press the ON button to operate.
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 are
completely thawed.
•After inserting ingredients use the pusher when it is necessary. Too much use of the
pusher may affect the juice quality.
•Intermittently use the pusher for soft ingredients like tomatoes. Constant use of
pusher for soft ingredients may also affect the juice quality.
Note:
•On (Forward): Pulls down and slowly masticates the ingredients.
•RVS (Reverse): Pushes the ingredients back up to dislodge them.
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.
OPERATION

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-OIN 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.

Double size food chute: One for whole apple, another for strip shaped vegetables.
1. Open the lid to feed the whole round fruits like apples, oranges (figure 1).
2. Feed the strip shaped vegetables like carrots (figure 2).
TIPS ON INGREDIENTS

DO NOT put the following ingredients into the juicer
Hard seed
Peach, nectarines, apricot, plum,
mango, etc.
Remove hard seeds from the
ingredients before juicing.
Hard or inedible
skins
Pineapple, melon, mango,
orange, etc.
Peel the skins from the
ingredients before juicing.
Frozen fruits or ice
Frozen strawberry, blueberry,
raspberry, etc.
Completely thaw frozen fruits
before juicing.
Do not use ice.
Vegetable/animal
oil
Sesame seed, butter, margarine,
etc.
Do not extract ingredients
containing vegetable or animal
oil. This can reduce performance
and even damage the juicer.
Others
Coconut, sugarcane, whole
grains, etc.
Do not extract ingredients with no
water content.
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.

Before 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 optimal extraction and maximum juice yield, cut the ingredients follow the
guidelines given in this section.
•Insert ingredients slowly, monitoring how the ingredients are extracted. The juice
yield may vary depending upon the juicing speed.
Soft fruits and vegetables (Oranges and tomatoes)
Preparation tips
•Cut 1-4 wedges
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 to be consumed within 48 hours after
extracting. Depending on the density of the ingredients, the extracted juice can
gradually show layers over time.
INGREDIENT PREPARATION
1-4 Wedges
Peel the skin off oranges and for tomatoes
and apples, removing 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 into 1-4 wedges and slowly
insert the min. ingredients down the food
chute.

•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, it 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,
vegetable 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 (example: apple and 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 juicing 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.

Hard fruits and vegetables (carrots, potato, beets and spinach)
Preparation tips
•Slice the ingredients 1cmthick or cut 1cmwide and 3-10cmlong.
•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, ensure each ingredient is thoroughly extracted.
•To maximise the juice yield, juice the ingredients with high water content.
Ingredients with small seeds (Raspberry, pomegranate and grapes):
Slowly insert ingredients with small seeds to prevent the seeds from clogging the strainer.
Preparation tips
•When juicing frozen ingredients like raspberry and 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 flesh and seeds.
Hard, fruits and
vegetables may put
excess strain onto
the motor and
cause it to stall.
Soak in cold
water prior to
juicing and cut to
appropriate sizes.
To increase the juice
yield, juice fruits and
vegetables with high
water content.
1-2cm
15cm
2cm
Insert ingredients slowly
to minimise the amount
of leftover seeds in the
strainer.
For best results, juice along
with ingredients with higher
amount of fluid (example:
apple or pear).

Extraction tips
•Insert 3-5 grapes at a time, depending on size, while monitoring the extraction
result.
•Thaw frozen ingredients like pomegranate and raspberry, then add about 1
tablespoon each at a time.
•Frozen ingredients usually lose significant amount of fluid after 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 (Example: 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.
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
•Slowly insert the prepared ingredients one at a time.
When juicing leafy
ingredients like celery and
kale, do not collect more
than 500g per session.
For best results,
disassemble and wash
the Topset before juicing
again.
If leafy ingredients
wrap around the
juicing screw, open
the lid and remove
the fibres before
juicing again.
It’s best to juice with
ingredients with high
amount of fluid, like
carrots and apples
