WELCOME
Congratulations and welcome to the Tribest family! Your purchase of the Tribest®
Solostar®4 represents a decision that you made to live a healthier lifestyle. As with
every Tribest product, the Solostar 4’s sleek design and rich features are the result
of smart choices that were made to achieve one thing: Making Healthy Living Easy.
Due to its smart design, the Solostar 4 produces up to 33% more torque while using
up to 20% less electricity. More torque means less jamming and less electricity
means savings on your monthly utility bill all while reducing your carbon footprint.
The sleek, modern design takes up less space while looking beautiful on your
kitchen countertop. The optional Vegetable Slicer and Spiralizer attachments add the
versatility you need to reduce the clutter you get from having too many machines.
The Solostar 4 is compatible with the ZStar Manual Conversion Kit, so you are free to
take your juicer with you when you are on the go. And, like every Tribest product, all
food contact parts are made from BPA- and BPS-free materials.
The Solostar 4’s single auger cold press juicing system operates as slow as 47 RPM
to ensure the gentlest juice extraction process possible. The slow and gentle process
preserves more nutrients and enzymes, resulting in healthier juice. The Dual-Stage
Extraction Process crushes and presses produce for maximum juice yields. The Ultem
auger is 8x stronger than other types of plastic, which allows for an aggressive auger
design that makes it easy to feed your produce into the juicer. So, you get better
juice, more of it, and it is easier to use.
Please carefully unpack your Solostar 4 and check to see that all the parts were
included. Take the time to assemble and disassemble you Solostar 4 a few times
to become familiar with the process and wash the juicing parts before using it for
the first time. Please take the time to read through the entire operation manual for
proper use and care instructions. If you have any questions, comments, or need
any tips, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-888-254-7336, or via email at
[email protected].
We graciously ask that you rate the Solostar 4 at www.tribestlife.com. We appreciate
your feedback.
