HOW TO OPERATE HOW TO OPERATE CONTINUED
STEP 1 After preparing the ingredients, plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
STEP 3 Insert the prepared ingredients one piece at a time.
STEP 4 Use the smart cap to make mixed juices, stop juice from dripping, or rinse between
dierent juices.
STEP 5 After juice and pulp are completely extracted, switch the unit OFF.
STEP 2 Press the FORWARD button to operate.
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.
Note • Fibrous leafy vegetables (celery, kale, etc.):
» Separate each stem. Cut the outer stems that are thick and fibrous.
Bundle up the leafy vegetables and insert into the juicer. Alternate between leafy
parts and stems.
• Before extracting, remove hard seeds or pips in ingredients.
• When juicing frozen fruits with small seeds, ensure that even the seeds are
completely thawed.
• Insert the ingredients one piece at a time.
Tip • After inserting ingredients, use the pusher when it is necessary. Do not push toohard.
» Intermittently use the pusher for soft ingredients like tomatoes and apples.
Constant use of pusher for soft ingredients may aect the juice quality.
Tip • Juicing with the smart cap closed creates various mixed juice creations when
dierent fruits and vegetables are selected; milk, banana, beans, etc, are selected.
• After juicing, close the smart cap to stop the juice from dripping, especially when
disassembling the juicing bowl o the base.
• When making dierent juices quickly rinse away any leftover flavours by running a
glass of water in the juicer with the smart cap closed.
Note • Leave the smart cap open when juicing ingredients that create excessive foam
during extraction (e.g. apples, celery).
• Pay close attention when operating with the smart cap closed. Juice may overflow if
the juice collected in the juicing bowl exceeds its capacity marked on the bowl.
Note • 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-FORWARD button in this order;
switching back and forth 2 or 3 times to dislodge the ingredients. Then place hands
on top of the drum lid and firmly press down while simultaneously turning the drum lid
counter clockwise to open.
» Depending on the ingredients, pour water down the feeding tube to rinse out the
interior of the juicing bowl and then attempt to remove the drum lid.
Note • Forward: Pulls down and slowly masticates the ingredients.
• Reverse: Pushes the ingredients back up to dislodge them.
IF THE JUICER STOPS DURING OPERATION:
Note • REVERSE: Pushes the ingredients back up to dislodge them.
The REVERSE button only works while holding down the switch.
• Switch OFF ensuring that the juicer comes to a complete stop. Then pressREVERSE.
Hold the REVERSE button for 2‑3 seconds and release. Repeat as needed. Let the
juicer stop completely before using the REVERSE button to prevent malfunction.

TIPS ON INGREDIENTSTIPS ON OPERATION
1. Operating the juicer without ingredients can cause damage to the screw.
2. Do not continuously operate the juicer for more than 30-45 minutes.
This can damage the motor from overheating.
After continuous use, let the juicer rest for 30 minutes to cool down before starting
anothersession.
3. Do not put fingers or other objects into the feeding tube. Always use provided pusher
whenneeded.
If other objects are inserted into the feeding tube during operation, such materials can get stuck
and damage the juicer parts and/or cause injury.
4. 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 filter).
• Beans or grains can be used if soaked overnight or boiled.
• Fruits with pips 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.
5. 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.
6. After juicing ingredients with seeds like grapes, thoroughly clean all the crevices on the bottom
of the juicing screw.
Juicer damage due to owner negligence or from not following the instructions in the owner’s manual
will void the warranty service.
DO NOT put the following ingredients into the juicer:
Experience the best quality juice by understanding each ingredient’s characteristics and knowing the
optimal way of handling the ingredients.
Peach, nectarines, apricot, plum, mango, etc.
Remove hard seeds from the ingredients
before juicing.
Hard seeds
Pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, etc.
You may like to peel the skins from the
ingredients before juicing.
Hard or
inedible
skins
Sesame seed, butter, margarine, etc.
Do not extract ingredients containing
vegetable or animal oil. This can reduce
performance and even damage the juicer.
Vegetable/
animal oil
Coconut, sugar-cane, whole grains, etc.
Do not extract ingredients with no
watercontent.
Others
The Slow Juicer is an innovative product that uses a patented slow-speed
masticating technology to eciently extract the juice fromingredients.
Thejuicer is designed to obtain the best result from ingredients with firm
composition and with high water content.
For best result, we recommend that you follow a recipe to begin with.

INGREDIENTS PREPARATION
SOFT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES (e.g. oranges, tomatoes):
If the ingredients are larger than the feeding
tube, cut the Ingredients into pieces that will fit
into the feeding tube.
EXTRACTION TIPS:
• Slowly insert the ingredients one at a time.
• Use the pusher to push the ingredients down the feeding tube. (The pusher also helps prevent juice
from spraying out of the feeding tube 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 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.
INGREDIENTS PREPARATION CONTINUED
HARD FRUITS AND VEGETABLES (e.g. carrots, potato, beetroot & spinach):
Soak in cold
water prior
tojuicing.
To increase the juice yield,
juice fruits and vegetables with
high water content.
PREPARATION TIPS:
Optional • Soak hard ingredient 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 maximize the juice yield, juice with ingredients with high water content.
How to Use
the Smart Cap:
Juice Yield:
Adjusting the
amount of pulp
in the juice:
• Juicing with the smart cap closed allows mixed juice creations with
dierent fruits, vegetables and liquids.
• After juicing, close the smart cap to block excess juice from dripping,
especially when disassembling the juicing bowl o the base.
• When making juices quickly rinse away any leftover flavours by running a
glass of water in the juicer with 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 smart cap closed. Juice
may overflow if the juice collected in the juicing bowl exceeds its capacity
marked on the juicing bowl.
• For the optimal extraction and maximum juice yield, you may like to cut
the ingredients following the guidelines given in this section.
• Insert ingredients slowly monitoring the flow of waste pulp.
The juice yield may vary depending on the speed ingredients are fed into
the juicer.
• Depending on the ingredient, you may get extra pulp in the juice when
juicing continuously.
• To reduce the amount of pulp, disassemble the top-set and wash frequently.

14 15
INGREDIENTS WITH SMALL SEEDS (e.g. raspberry, pomegranate, grape):
Insert ingredients slowly
to minimize the amount of
leftover seeds in the filter.
For best result, juice with
ingredients with higher
amount of fluid (e.g.
apple, pear).
PREPARATION TIPS:
• Thoroughly rinse ingredients like grapes. Take the grapes o and discard the stem.
• For pomegranate, discard the skin and juice only the inner part.
EXTRACTION TIPS:
• Depending on the size of the grape, insert 3–5 grapes at a time while monitoring the
extractionresult.
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 stuck, repeat REVERSE‑OFF‑FORWARD 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 feeding
tube for quick rinsing and to help dislodging).
INGREDIENTS PREPARATION CONTINUEDINGREDIENTS PREPARATION CONTINUED
FIBROUS AND/OR TOUGH LEAFY INGREDIENTS (e.g. celery, kale, pineapple):
When juicing leafy
ingredients like
celery and kale, do
not collect more than
500g per session.
For best result,
disassemble and
wash the top-set
before juicing again.
It’s best to juice with
ingredients with higher
amount of fluid, like
Carrots, apples: fibrous
ingredients = 9:1
[recommended ratio]
If leafy ingredients
wrap around the
juicing screw, open
the lid and remove
the fibers before
continue juicing.
PREPARATION TIPS:
Optional • Soak fibrous ingredients in cold water for about 30 minutes.
EXTRACTION TIPS:
• One at a time, slowly insert the prepared ingredients.
• Insert more ingredients after the previously inserted ingredients have been completely extracted.
1Roll leaves into spiral as inserting into the juicer.
2Insert the leafy part of the ingredients first then alternate between leafy parts and stems.
3For ingredients like wheat-grass, grab a handful and insert in a bundle.
4Ensure waste pulp continues to appear.
Caution • The fibres from tough ingredients like celery can wrap around the juicing
screw and aect juicer’s performance. Cut the stems that are thick and tough
to 4 inches long or less.
• Foam can build up from juicing fibrous ingredients. Use strainer to remove
the foam before serving.
• For ingredients like pineapple, slice o the rind of the pineapple and cut around
the fibrous core. Cut the flesh of the pineapple to smaller pieces.
• Recommended amount of juicing per session is 500g. When juicing more
than 500g, wash the top-set before continue juicing.
Slowly insert ingredients with small seeds to prevent the seeds from clogging the strainer. When the pulp outlet is blocked by the fibrous ingredients, press the REVERSE‑OFF‑FORWARD
button in this order, switching back and forth 2‑3 times.
