Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Horizontal Slow Masticating Cold Press Juicer is an ideal choice for health-conscious individuals and home cooks looking to maximize nutrient extraction from fruits and vegetables without the loud noise associated with traditional centrifugal models. By utilizing a 150W low-speed motor, it efficiently separates juice from pulp, resulting in a higher yield and fresher taste; however, its horizontal design requires more counter space compared to vertical juicers, which may be a consideration for those with smaller kitchens.

FAQs
Can I put frozen fruit in this juicer?
No, it is recommended to thaw frozen ingredients before juicing to avoid damaging the internal components.
Are the parts dishwasher safe?
While the parts are easy to clean, it is best to hand wash them with warm, soapy water to maintain the integrity of the BPA-free materials.
How long can I store the juice?
For maximum nutrient benefit, consume the juice immediately. If stored, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than 24-48 hours.
Does it juice wheatgrass?
Yes, horizontal masticating juicers are excellent for fibrous greens like wheatgrass.
What is the warranty period?

Troubleshooting
Juicer is not turning on
Ensure the power cord is fully plugged into the wall and that all parts are correctly locked into their designated positions; most models have a safety interlock.
Excessive pulp in the juice
Check if the mesh screen is clogged and clean it thoroughly; ensure you are not feeding produce too quickly into the chute.
The unit stopped mid-juicing
The motor may have overheated or experienced a jam. Turn it off, unplug, and remove the pulp/produce blocking the auger before restarting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your juicer, align the auger with the main housing and ensure the juice bowl is securely locked into the base. The appliance is designed for standard domestic electrical outlets. For care, it is recommended to disassemble the unit immediately after use. Rinse the auger and screen under warm running water; use a soft brush to dislodge any fibrous material from the mesh filter. Do not submerge the motor base in water; simply wipe it down with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Ensure all parts are completely air-dried before reassembling for storage.
