FEATURES
• Slow juicing at approximately 47 RPM
The Slowstar extracts juice using a slow juicing mechanism to retain the maximum amount of
nutrients and enzymes for a naturally healthier juice.
• Mincing and Homogenizing with the Mincer Attachment (SW-2000 only)
With the Mincer Attachment, included with the SW-2000 (not included in SW-1000), mincing foods
is easy and simple. Easily mince foods, from fruits and vegetables to meats and sh, to make sauces
and meat balls.
• Duoblade Double-Edged Auger
Unlike ordinary vertical slow juicers, which have a single-bladed auger, the Slowstar is equipped
with a unique Duoblade Auger, which has two blades to cut stringy vegetables, such as celery. The
result is juicing with less jamming and improved juice quality with less pulp mixed into the juice.
• Torque force equivalent to a 9 HP motor
The powerful 200 watt motor and 3-stage reduction gear system produce the torque force equivalent
to a 9 HP motor.
• 3-Stage Speed Reduction Gears
Using the 3-stage reduction gear system, the Slowstar creates up to 30 ft. lbs. of torque using only
200 Watts of electricity.
• Easy to assemble & disassemble
The Auger Housing and Main Body detach easily for efcient cleaning and assembly.
• Additional Safety Switch
All parts must be assembled properly. The Feeding Chute Assembly and Auger Housing must be
locked securely in place in order to turn on the Slowstar, assuring safe operation.

HOW TO USE
1. Prepare ingredients for juicing.
• Cut stringy, brous ingredients (such as celery or kale) into 4-5 inch pieces for best results.
For even better results, cut the ingredients to a width of 1 inch and insert the pieces one by one.
• Cut carrots into halves or quarters lengthwise before feeding them into the Feeding Chute.
• Cut fruits into small pieces so they can go smoothly through the Feeding Chute, and remove
any big hard seeds.
• Feed the ingredients into the Feeding Chute piece by piece in order to properly extract juice
without clogging.
• The amount of juice extracted will vary depending on the water content of the ingredient.
• Soak hard grains in clean water for about 4~8 hours before mincing, or it may cause overload
damage to the Slowstar.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Slowstar does not work. • Check if the power cord is plugged in properly.
• Check if all parts are assembled correctly.
Motor stops during use. • Check if the power cord is plugged in properly.
• Check if all parts are assembled correctly.
• The Motor may stop if too many juicing ingredients are inserted
at the same time. If this occurs, turn the Switch to “OFF” and then
turn the switch to “Reverse” to unclog the materials. Then turn
the switch to “ON” to push the materials down. (Repeat this step
3 times.)
• Turn the switch to “OFF” and place the Main Body in a cool area.
Let the Slowstar rest for an hour to cool the
motor down and try turning the Slowstar on again.
• Remove all the hard seeds in the juicing ingredients before juic-
ing. Hard seeds may break down the Juicing Screen and Duoblade
Auger.
Amount of juice is too little. • Each food produces a different amount of juice depending on
how fresh it is.
• To extract more juice, refrigerate ingredients, then soak for about
10 minutes in clean water before juicing.
• Check if the Pressure Plug is assembled properly.
Juice Container is shaking in the middle of
operation.
• It is completely normal if the juice container shakes a little bit
during operation.
Seems like the Duoblade Auger is grinding. • Operating the Slowstar without feeding any food may cause the
Duoblade™ Auger to grind.
Hearing a lot of sounds coming from
the Slowstar.
• Turn the switch to “OFF” and check if parts are
assembled properly.
• Check if the Slowstar is operating on an uneven surface.
• There may be some squeaky friction noise while in use. This is a
normal sound that occurs, and user should not
worry about it.
• Check if juicing materials are cut to the right sizes.
Juice is spilling out of the Slowstar. • Check if pressure plug is assembled properly.
After extraction, the color of the Juicing
parts and Juice Container are different.
• Right after use, if the Slowstar is not cleaned, then it is more
difcult to clean and may even cause reduced performance.
• Disassemble Silicone Blades and wash them separately.
The Feeding Chute Assembly does not
disassemble easily.
• Grab the Feeding Chute rmly and rotate it counter-clockwise
with force.
