SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the
body (motor) in water or any other liquid .
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by children.
4. Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before
disassembly for cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
manufacturer may cause damage and will void warranty.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of counter.
9. Make sure the motor has stopped completely before
dissembling.
10. Do not put your fingers or other objects into the juicer
while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the
opening, use the provided food plunger to push it down
or press the button into reverse mode. If ingredients are
still lodged in the juicing drum, turn off and disassemble
to remove remaining food. You may need to cut produce
smaller, or feed ingredients slower into the chute to
prevent this.

Operation Instructions
Press the power switch into the ON position. Ensure that the safety switch
is unlocked and tap the door to open. Then push your larger round ingredients
into the chute allowing it to fall towards the auger. Insert other ingredients
into the smaller feeding chute individually. For best results add ingredients
at an even, slow pace to ensure maximum extraction is achieved.
Choose your Strainer
Extra Fine Strainer
This strainer is half blank, and half has small holes
to create a smoother juice with less pulp
Coarse Strainer
This strainer has larger holes to create a
whole-fruit juice (more pulp/fibre included)
Sorbet Strainer
This strainer is blank with no holes to give
you the option of making sorbets, nut butters
and more.

8
Reverse Function
If you notice any ingredients have become stuck or are refusing to move use
the tamper to gently push ingredients downwards. The Reverse Switch is
specifically for this reason. Press the Reverse Switch down for 3-5 seconds
and repeat 2-3 times if necessary.
Once the auger has come to a complete stop press the Forward switch
to continue.
Juice Outlet Cap
Close the juice outlet cap to mix your juice inside your juicer. Open the juice
outlet cap to dispense as required into the juice container.
Caring for the Silicon Pulp Plug
It is important to ensure that the Pulp Plug is always closed before juicing.
When you are cleaning the juicing drum (bowl) gently unplug the seal and
rinse under water.
Replace the seal after cleaning so your juicer is ready to use next time.
Silicon Cover
Ensure the Silicon Cover is fitted prior to use. It is another measure to ensure
that the motor is sealed from any juice overspill.
Clean after use by removing it from the motor base. Keep your spare Silicon
Covers handy in case of misplacement.

Troubleshooting
My juicer does not
operate when the
switch is in the
ON position
1. Make sure the power cord is properly secured into the
power source and that the switch is turned to the ‘ON’
position.
2. Check that the Hopper is assembled correctly.
PLEASE NOTE: If the Hopper has not been securely
locked in place with the arrows aligning, the appliance
will not work for safety reasons. This is due to a magnetic
safety strip located inside the hopper which must align
with the matching magnetic strip inside the base.
3. Check the appliance has been assembled according to
the instructions in this manual.
My juicer has
stopped during
operation
1. Reverse / REV to unwind any fibre that is caught
around the Auger.
2. If your juicer has stopped during operation, please
check that the hopper is correctly aligned with the
base. If the alignment shifts during operation the juicer
will stop.
3. Turn your juicer off, reset the hopper and you should
be able to continue.
PLEASE NOTE: The BioChef Atlas Pro Whole Slow Juicer
has an automatic motor cut off safety feature that
will activate if the juicer is overloaded. This has been
designed to help prevent accidental damage and to
help extend the life of the machine.
4. To reset your juicer take off the Hopper lid and remove
any ingredients in the juice bowl.

10
The Hopper will
not open
The Hopper opens in an anti-clockwise way. If the
Hopper will not open easily, try the following:
1. Allow your BioChef Atlas Pro Whole Slow Juicer to run
without adding more ingredients before turning off
and attempting to remove the Hopper.
2. Switch your juicer into reverse for a few moments to
help dislodge any remaining ingredients around the
auger and feeding chute of the Hopper.
PLEASE NOTE: The auger turns in a clockwise direction
which is opposite of the Hopper. This may cause an
unintentional tightening of the Hopper and result in
difficulty releasing the hopper from the juicing bowl.
3. After you have fed the last ingredients into the Hopper,
let it run until all the juice and pulp has run through
the machine. Pour one or two glasses of water down
the Hopper to flush out much of the left over pulp.
4. Lift off the entire juicing section before trying to
separate.
The bowl shakes
when squeezing
A slight shaking of the motor while in operation is
completely normal. Variations beyond this depend
on the fibre content of the ingredients. Hard or tough
ingredients such as carrot and beetroots may cause the
bowl to shake more than soft and juicy ingredients.
My juice is a little
pulpy, how can I
fix this?
1. Make sure the yellow silicon plug is fully inserted into
its slot. This part is removable to assist with cleaning
but is often not reinserted correctly. It acts as a pressure
point to ensure that the pulp is ejected from the pulp
tube.
2. The outlet can sometimes get blocked if ingredients
are fed too quickly into the juicer. Please try slowing
down the rate at which you insert produce into the
juicer.
3. Try cutting ingredients into smaller pieces (3 to 5cm) so
the vertical auger will be able to fully crush and process
before the next ingredient is fed in.
4. Fresh and refrigerated ingredients will have firmer
fibres and greater water content and will be less pulpy
in constitution.
5. Over time, the silicon Spinning Brush blades may
become blunt. Please contact the Customer Care
Centre or website for ordering replacement parts.

FAQs
DO I NEED TO REFRIGERATE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
BEFORE JUICING THEM?
Apart from tasting better when juiced, refrigerated fruits and vegetables
will provide a higher yield of juice than room temperature produce. This
is because the fibre in refrigerated produce is firmer when chilled and
consequently provides more juice when crushed compared to softer or
warmer fruits and vegetables, which may also be in a partial stage of
dehydration (losing water content).
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO PREPARE FRUITS, VEGETABLES
AND LEAFY GREENS FOR JUICING IN THE BIOCHEF ATLAS
WHOLE SLOW JUICER?
Vegetables
We recommend preparing your vegetables by cutting them into pieces that
will simply fall through the feeding chute without assistance.
Fruits
We recommend preparing your fruits by cutting them into pieces that will
simply fall through the feeding chute without assistance. We recommend
removing skins from most citrus fruits although one third of the skin of
lemons and limes may be left on.
Leafy greens
Roll leaves into parcels and then fold them in half, ensuring that the parcels
will simply fall through the feeding chute without assistance. You may
notice with some leafy greens that they can cause the BioChef Atlas Pro to
clog. This can be remedied by adding a few pieces of carrot or other fibrous
vegetables, which will help to push through the leafy green material. Also,
wet leaves will not pass through the juicer as well as drier leaves, so when
washing produce, pat dry with a kitchen towel before inserting into the
BioChef Atlas Pro. The vertical crushing and squeezing mechanism of the
juicer means that the smaller you cut the pieces before you feed them into
the shoot, the less likely that the fibres will become tangled around the
internal mechanism. For best results cut your ingredient into 3 - 5cm pieces.
WHAT ARE THE BEST APPLES FOR JUICING?
We find that fresh and chilled green apples are the best. Nutritionally, green
apples contain various antioxidants, are a good source of Vitamin C and are
considered to be able to prevent the formation of gall stones in the bladder
and help remedy liver and kidney disorders.

12
DO I NEED TO PEEL CITRUS FRUITS BEFORE JUICING?
We recommend peeling the skin from mandarins, oranges and grapefruit
prior to juicing as the skin has a bitter taste and this will transfer through to
the juice. The skin of lemons and limes do not have this bitter flavour and as
such can be juiced. Leave about one third of the skin of lemons and limes on.
WHAT CAN I JUICE WITH AN BIOCHEF ATLAS PRO AND
WHAT SHOULD I AVOID?
The BioChef Atlas Pro can juice just about all types of fruits and vegetables.
It is not a food processor so do not place any of the following in the juicer:
•Hard Coconut Fibre – Soft, young flesh is OK
•Seeds
•Unsoaked/roasted nuts
•Legumes
•Sugar Cane
•Frozen ingredients - fruits for sorbets must be removed from freezer for
5-10 minutes before using.
•Fish or meat
•Liquorice root or other woody materials
•Dried herbs and spices
•Stone fruit with stones in
•Olives
CAN I MAKE SOY, NUT & RICE MILK?
Yes you can easily make nut milk using your juicer, simply refer to the
Recipes section for instructions.
CAN I GRIND SEEDS, GRAINS OR LEGUMES WITH THE
BIOCHEF ATLAS PRO?
No. The BioChef Atlas Pro is not a grinder and using this machine as such
will void the warranty.
CAN THE BIOCHEF ATLAS PRO MAKE COLD PRESS
OLIVE OIL?
No. This is a different process to juicing and requires different machinery.

13
CAN I MAKE FROZEN SORBETS?
Yes you can easily make frozen fruit sorbets using your juicer, simply
refer to the Recipes section for instructions.
CAN I RE-JUICE THE DISCARDED PULP FROM THE
BIOCHEF ATLAS PRO IN ORDER TO GET MORE JUICE?
The BioChef Atlas Pro is very effective at extracting high yields but
some users may put through the discarded pulp again to try and
gain more juice yield. The results vary from different ingredients so
feel free to experiment. Try mixing the pulp with blended fruits to
make fruit roll ups. We recommend a BioChef Food Dehydrator in 6, 8
or 10 tray models for this.
IS THE BIOCHEF ATLAS PRO SUITABLE FOR
COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTS?
Yes! The Atlas Pro can run for up to 60 minutes continuously.
Effectively, you can make up to 40L of juice per hour (apples tested).
HOW LONG CAN I KEEP THE JUICE BEFORE THE
NUTRITONAL INTEGRITY HAS DEPLETED?
There’s no specific answer to this as there are too many variables
based on the type of produce and storage method. When storing
juice, refrigerate in a glass airtight jar or bottle for best results. This
storage method will usually help retain the nutritional integrity of
your juice for up to 48 hours.

14
Cleaning
The BioChef Atlas Pro parts are dishwasher-safe (top shelf). For best
results, rinse prior to placing into the dishwasher to remove any
stubborn fibres.
You can rinse your juicer easily after use by closing the juice outlet
cap, and running water through the juicer. Simply open the juice
outlet cap to flush the water through.
If hand-washing simply rinse under water, and use the desired
cleaning brush to scrub any tough fibres. If you are in a hurry, simply
leave the parts soaking in water so the fibres remain soft and pliable.
Your juicer comes with two specialised cleaning brushes. The fine
cleaning brush is ideal for cleaning hard-to-reach places.
We recommend soaking your parts in a solution of bi-carb soda,
water and white vinegar or lemon juice once per month or on
occasion. This does a great job of removing any juice stains or residue
that may build up over time.
CAN I BUY SPARE PARTS FOR MY JUICER?
Yes, simply contact your local service provider (details located in rear
of manual) or order online on our website.

Fruit and
Vegetable
Juices
Green Juice
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 small bunch curly kale roughly
chopped
1 lemon peeled and quartered
1 inch ginger peeled
1 cucumber cut into long strips
2 granny smith apples cored and
sliced
4 celery stalks
Green juices are rich in chlorophyll
in its natural state – the way nature
intended.
One of chlorophyll’s most important
functions is the oxygenation of the
bloodstream. It is necessary for health
to select foods that feed rather than
rob the body of oxygen.
Without sufficient oxygen in the
blood, we are prone to develop
symptoms of low energy, sluggish
digestion and metabolism, leading
to deterioration in vitality and an
increase in the onset of disease.
The addition of limes and apples to
green juices greatly assist to make
juices more tolerable to the palate.
Ginger Zinger Juice

Ingredients:
2 medium apples
5 carrots
1⁄2 inch fresh ginger
1⁄4 lemon (peel removed to avoid
bitterness)

Immune Boosting
Juice
Servings: 1 cup
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1-3 cloves of garlic
1 inch fresh ginger
1 bunch of rainbow carrots (can
substitute for any carrots), tops
removed
This healing juice is a great remedy
for that cold that just won’t go away.
Carrots are a good source of vitamin C,
vitamin B complex, potassium, iron
and sodium which all work to boost
the immune system and improve liver
function. Raw garlic is a natural
anti-microbial anti-inflammatory
and powerful tool for boosting the
immune system.
Mocktail Mojito
Juice Recipe
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
1 small bunch mint
1 small bunch parsley
1 lime (peel removed)
1⁄2 inch fresh ginger
2 cucumbers
1 green apple
Savoury Juices
Gazpacho
Servings: 1 - 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
4 ripened plum tomatoes
1 large cucumber
2 stalks celery
1 red bell pepper
1⁄4 small red onion
2 cups fresh parsley (leaves and stems
roughly chopped and packed)
1 lime (peel removed)
Tomatoes are a great alkaliser when
consumed without sugars or starches.
Beetroot is a great blood builder.
Celery improves digestion. Red
Capsicum is good for skin, hair and
nails. Cucumber is a natural diuretic.
Parsley is high in minerals including
potassium.

18
Sorbets
Assemble the juicer using the
Sorbet Strainer. We recommend
allowing your frozen ingredients
to thaw for 5-10 minutes before
feeding them into the juicer chute
for best results and to prevent any
damage to the juicer and its parts.
Banana Raspberry
Sorbet
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 frozen bananas
2 cups of raspberries
Banana Cinnamon
Sorbet
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
4 frozen bananas
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. honey
Soy, Rice &
Nut Milks
Soak soybeans, rice and/or nuts in
filtered water for a minimum of 8
hours, water should cover them
completely.
Rinse thoroughly until water runs
clear and drain.
Feed the mixture into the chute
simultaneously with the same
volume of filtered water. We
recommend using the Fine
Strainer for smoothest results. For
creamier results use less water,
or for a thinner milk, increase the
amount of water. This works best
using a large spoon and scooping
the mixture from a container.
Keep the juice outlet cap closed
to pre-mix the milk. To reduce
sediment, place a sieve over the
collection bowl or strain through a
muslin cloth.
If using soybeans, the resulting
mixture can be used to make
tofu. For flavoured milks, try the
following ideas...
• add berries, banana and other
fruits
• add a small amount of salt
and/or sweetener eg; raw
honey or maple syrup
• add vanilla and a pinch of
cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon or
cardamom
