FAQs
What is slow masticating technology?
Slow masticating technology uses a low-speed auger to crush and press produce, extracting juice by grinding and squeezing. This method produces less heat and oxidation, preserving more nutrients and enzymes compared to high-speed centrifugal juicers.
Can this juicer handle frozen fruits?
This juicer is designed for fresh produce. While it can handle firm fruits and vegetables, frozen fruits are generally too hard for the auger and may damage the unit. It is best suited for fresh or slightly softened fruits.
How often should I clean the juicer?
For optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to clean the juicer thoroughly after each use. This prevents pulp from drying and makes subsequent cleaning easier.
What is the warranty period for this juicer?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official documentation for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.
Can I juice citrus fruits with the peel on?
While the juicer can handle citrus, it's generally recommended to peel citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits before juicing to avoid bitterness from the pith and peel oils.
Is the pulp dry after juicing?
The slow masticating process typically results in relatively dry pulp, indicating efficient juice extraction. However, the dryness can vary slightly depending on the moisture content of the produce used.
Troubleshooting
Juicer does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that all parts are correctly assembled and locked in place as per the manual.
Low juice yield or excessive pulp in juice.
Ensure the juicer is assembled correctly. For leafy greens, it may help to feed them with a firmer fruit or vegetable. Ensure the filter is clean and free of blockages.
Motor stops during operation.
The motor may have overheated. Turn off the juicer and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes. Reduce the amount of produce being fed at one time.
Difficulty cleaning certain parts.
Clean all parts immediately after use. Use the included brush or a small, stiff brush to remove stubborn pulp. Soaking parts in warm, soapy water for a few minutes can also help.
