FAQs
What is the main benefit of a cold press juicer?
Cold press juicers operate at low speeds, which helps to retain more nutrients, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals in the juice compared to high-speed centrifugal juicers. They also produce less heat and oxidation.
Can I juice citrus fruits with the peel on?
While the wide chute can accommodate whole fruits, it is generally recommended to peel citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits to avoid bitter oils from the peel affecting the taste of the juice.
How often should I clean the juicer?
It is best to clean the juicer immediately after each use. This prevents pulp and fibers from drying and hardening, making cleaning much easier and ensuring optimal performance for the next use.
What is the capacity of the juice and pulp containers?
The juicer comes with a 1000ml juice cup and a 900ml pulp container, suitable for moderate batch juicing.
Is the juicer suitable for making nut milk?
This juicer is designed for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables. It is not optimized for making nut milk, which typically requires a different process or specialized equipment.
What should I do if the juicer gets clogged?
If the juicer becomes clogged, immediately turn it off and unplug it. Use the reverse function to help dislodge any blockages. If the blockage persists, carefully disassemble the unit to clear it manually.
Are the parts dishwasher safe?
While some parts might be designed for top-rack dishwasher cleaning, it is generally recommended to hand wash all components with warm, soapy water for longevity and thoroughness. Please refer to your user manual for specific instructions.
Troubleshooting
Juicer won't turn on.
Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and the safety lock is engaged. Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
Juicer is making unusual noises or vibrating excessively.
Check for blockages in the feeding chute or pulp outlet. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned and tightened. Try using the reverse function to clear any obstructions.
Juice yield is low or pulp is too wet.
Ensure ingredients are cut to an appropriate size and fed into the chute steadily. Make sure the auger and strainer are clean and free from debris. Some ingredients naturally yield less juice.
The safety lock is not engaging.
Verify that all components, especially the lid and container, are correctly positioned. Refer to the assembly diagram in the user manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure all parts are clean before first use. Assemble the juicer by following the included manual, typically involving attaching the auger, juice strainer, and containers to the motor base. Secure the lid with the safety lock.
Compatibility: This juicer is designed for a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens. It is not intended for hard nuts, seeds, or ingredients that require grinding rather than pressing.
Care: After each use, immediately disassemble the juicer and wash all removable parts with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush to clean the auger and strainer. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing to prevent mold or mildew. The motor base should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth and should never be submerged in water.
