CAUTION
Check that the compression silicone is
assembled properly in the unit.
The juice may leak if the
compression silicone is not
assembled properly.

.
Do not operate the juicer without inputting any
food for more than 30 seconds.
(It may cause a malfunction)
.
Place juice cup and pulp cup into position to
prevent any spill or to minimize clean up.
.
During the operation, the juicer may produce
a squeaking noise. It will disappear after inserting
ingredients into the juicer.
Use the pusher only when needed.
Do not push down food using spoons,
spatulas, ngers, or any other utensils.
If the juicer stops
during operation...
Let the juicer stop completely before using the REVERSE switch. (It may cause the juicer to malfunction
if the juicer is not completely stopped before changing operating direction.)
While operating the juicer on REVERSE switch, lightly hold the hopper with one hand while pressing the
RESERSE switch. (The drum lid may come loose while operating in REVERSE without holding the hopper.)

Ensure the power switch is in OFF position before plugging the power cord into a wall outlet. Turn o the juicer after ensuring the extraction process is complete.
*
The drum lid may not open easily if there is a lot of remaining pulp in the juicer - see the instructions on
“how to disassemble”on page 12 for details.
Press the power switch to operate.
*Forward: pulls down the ingredients to extract
*Reverse: pushes up the ingredients to unjam
Wash and prepare your selection of fruits
and vegetables.
*
Cut to 4-5 inches long and 1 in wide. Stringy vegetables
like celery should be chopped ne.
*
For the best result, insert one piece of ingredients at a
time. When extracting dierent types of ingredients,
wait until the juicer nishes extracting one type before
inserting another one.

TIPS
CAUTION

Carefully read before extracting
The silicone parts can be removed and cleaned separately. Dry thoroughly after cleaning and
assemble the silicone parts following the instructions below.
*Juice may leak if the silicone parts are not assembled correctly.
<Silicone Brush>
Gently pull out the silicone brush from
the rotation wiper. After cleaning, with
the tail of the silicone brush pointing
down, insert into the slot in the order as
shown in the illustration.
<Compression Silicone>
Unplug before cleaning. After cleaning,
plug the compression silicone back in
until it is tted securely.
<Silicone Ring>
Remove the silicone ring from the
juicing bowl. After cleaning, push in the
silicone ring until it is tted securely.
*Position the silicone ring as shown in
the illustration.

① For the best result, insert one piece of ingredients at a time.When extracting
dierent types of ingredients, wait until the juicer nishes extracting one type
before inserting another one.
②When extracting high ber ingredients like celery and parsley, cut nely in to 1/2 in
segments for optimal extraction.
③ When extracting ingredients like carrots or beets, extract with a combination of
other fruits and vegetables with more water content to increase the juice yield.
④If the ingredients are not fresh, the juice yield will be lower due to the decreased
water content in the ingredients. Soak the ingredients in water before extracting
to obtain the best yield.
⑤
Some ingredients are not appropriate for juicing, like bananas.
⑥ During the operation, the juicer may occasionally squeak when juicing ingredients
like carrots or fruits with hard skins. This is normal.
⑦ When extracting, juice may spray out of the hopper especially with ingredients like
grapes and cherry tomatoes.
⑧
Fruits with pits or hard seeds like peaches, plums, or cherries must be pitted
before extraction. Fruits with hard skins should be peeled before extraction.

Juice yield is low
Juicing bowl shakes in the
middle of operation
Seems like juicing screw is
grinding
Juicer is noisy
ㆍCheck that the cord is plugged in properly
ㆍCheck all parts are assembled correctly.
ㆍ
The juicer may stop if the ingredients are fed into the hopper too quickly.
ㆍ
Turn the switch to OFF position and press down REVERSE switch to push up the
ingredients. Press the FORWARD switch to pull the ingredients down. (repeat
if needed)
ㆍ
Turn the switch to OFF position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Let the juicer rest to cool o from overheating.
ㆍ
When using the ingredients with hard seeds, pit before extraction. Seeds may
damage the strainer if not pitted from the ingredients.
ㆍEvery ingredient yields dierent amounts of juice.
ㆍ
Soak the ingredients in water before extracting if the ingredients are dry or
not fresh.
ㆍ
When extracting ingredients like carrots or beets, extract with a combination of
other fruits and vegetables with more water content to increase the juice yield.
Cut ingredients to 4-5 inches long and 1 in wide for optimal extraction.
ㆍ
Check that the compression silicone is assembled properly in the unit.
ㆍ
When extracting seeded fruits like tomatoes, the strainer may get clogged with
the excessive amount of small seeds. Pour water through the hopper to unclog
before continuing extraction.
ㆍIt is normal for the juicing bowl to shake a little bit during operation.
ㆍ
The juicing screw and the strainer are closely aligned with small tolerances.
Do not operate without inputting any ingredients for more than 30 seconds.
ㆍ
The rotation wiper may make a squeaking noise while wiping the juicing bowl.
After inserting ingredients the noise should disappear.
ㆍTurn the switch to OFF position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Check the parts are assembled properly.
ㆍ
Check that the juicer is on a level surface.
ㆍ
Check that the ingredients are cut to appropriate size.
*The warranty and product liability do not cover problems related to commercial or improper use of the product.
Problem Possible Reasons & Solution
I see a separation in the
juice extracted
The juice leaks out of the
top set
I see discoloration of the
plastic parts
ㆍ
There may be a separation in the juice due to the ingredients' density after
extraction. This is dierent from oxidation that is caused by juicing with
a traditional high speed juicer.
ㆍ
The juice may leak if the compression silicone is not assembled properly.
Disassemble and ensure the compression silicone is assembled properly. (pg 15)
ㆍ
After use, clean the juicer immediately to prevent discoloration.
ㆍ
Beta carotene (found in carrots and spinach) pigment may discolor the plastic
parts of the juicer. Rub the parts with a little bit of cooking oil then clean with
a mild soup.
ㆍ
The silicone parts can be removed and cleaned separately.
