PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Component identification & content check list:
Components List: A. Hopper B. Squeezing Screw C. Fine Strainer D. Spinning Brush E. Juicing bowl F. Stainless steel Main Body G. Cleaning Brush H. Pusher I. Container (x2) J. Juice Tap
WARNING: Do not operate/turn on the machine before inputting juicing materials.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS A. How to choose the strainers (See Fig 1): Fine Strainer (GE ULTEM material) is used for juicing some hard fruit, such as beans and vegetables with fibres, such as apples, carrots, pears etc. The juice will have less pulp but will be much more smooth.
B. Extra information: Juice tap: It can be fixed onto the juice outlet, simply close the tap while juicing until the juicing bowl is approximately 1/2 full. Then open the juice tap allowing the juice to flow into the juice pitcher /jug. The Juice tap can also be used to reduce froth and foaming in some juicing & self cleaning.

C. Assembly Instructions: Important: Prior to Assembling the juicer, please check this point: At the Main Body of the Juicing bowl there is a rubber stopper. When in place, the Rubber stopper ensures all of the juice only exits via the juice outlet. Before Juicing, always ensure that the rubber stopper is firmly in place. (see Fig 2)
Rubber stopper 1.
Assemble the Juicing bowl on the Main Body (see Fig 3). Make sure the Juicing bowl is all the way into the shaft of the Main Body.
2.
Choose the strainer which you would like to use: Place the strainer into the spinning brush, align the dot on the strainer keeping it in line with the dot on the Juicing bowl, then insert the strainer together with the spinning brush into the Juicing bowl. When the dots are correctly aligned, the strainer and spinning brush will lock in place. (see Fig 4)
3.
Insert the squeezing screw into the strainer and turn until it drops into position. (see Fig 5)
4.
Assemble the hopper onto the Juicing bowl. (see Fig 6) • Align the dot on the hopper with the dot on the Juicing bowl. • Twist the hopper so that the arrow on it points to the closed sign on the Main Body. (see Fig 7)
Note: The “allow” on the hopper must be point to the “allow” on the Main Body in order for the machine to operate properly. (See Fig 7)

Important: To protect the motor and provide you with a long lasting machine, Slow juicer has an auto shutdown feature. If the components are not aligned or installed incorrectly or the motor overheats due to extended juicing or the strainer becomes clogged, the machine will automatically shut down. This is normal and prevents damage to your Slow juicer. If this happens switch the machine off. Check the components are correct installed and that there is no food caught in the strainer. Wait 5 minutes for the motor to cool then recommence normal operation. WARNING: •
Do not operate the juicer with wet hands as it may cause an electric shock.
•
Do not operate the juicer prior to imputing juicing materials.
•
Do not operate the juicer for more than 30 minutes at one time.
•
Do not press the Reverse button rapidly and in close succession. Repeating this action in this manner 5 or more times will cause permanent damage to the machine.
D. Operating Instructions: 1.
Plug in the juicer.
2.
Place a container below the juicer outlet and another container below the pulp outlet.
3.
The juicer Power button (located at the bottom of the handle) has 2 positions. • A. Power ON - It used to turn on Slow juicer, then lamp inside the Power switch will light. • B. Power OFF - Cut off the power supply to the Slow juicer.
4.
After turning on the Slow juicer, the Red lamp on the Finger touch panel will turn on. • C. ON - Touch the O beside ON, the machine starts the motor and juicing process and the Green lamp beside ON lights up. • D. STOP - Touch the O beside STOP, The machine will stop working and the Red lamp beside STOP lights up. • E. REV - Keep touching the O beside the REV for 3 seconds, the motor will reverse and the Orange lamp beside REV lights up, once you remove your finger, the machine will stop Reversing and the Red lamp lights up. (Note: Only use this function when something is stuck in the juicer and it needs to be unclogged.)

5.
Prepare the material you wish to juice. The Slow juicer is designed to juice many different materials. The preparation for each material will differ, the below points are a guide. Please read “and getting started with your slow juicer” for further tips on juicing. • Ensure juice materials are cut into small portion for optimal juice extraction. Each portion should easily fall down the hopper chute without the need for force. • Remove any large pips or seeds. This includes stones from stone fruits and peel from citrus fruits. • Always pre-wash food before juicing. • Switch the power button to ON, touch the O beside ON, and insert food slowly to the hopper and allow the juicer to have time to work. • Do not overstuff the hopper or force food in. The pusher is only to be used if food becomes stuck (See Fig 8). • When you are finished, first finger touch the O beside STOP, then switch the power button to OFF.
Note: If you are making multiple juices in one session to avoid cross over of flavours, pour water into the hopper between drinks to clean the unit. Capture rinsing water in a separate bowl so as not to dilute your juice. Depending on the material being juiced you may need to clear some pulp from the strainer.

GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR SLOW JUICER Juicing is a fun and easy way to enjoy fruit and vegetables. The different taste combinations are endless and only limited by your imagination! The slow juicer is not a conventional juicer and therefore cannot be used in the same way. Take the time to get to know the mechanics of

with different flavour combinations.
Material Size and Speed The size of the material and the speed at which you feed it into your juicer is very important in achieving good results. To familiarize yourself with the process we recommend you start with easy to juice materials such as citrus fruits(Remember to always remove the peel first!). Cut the material into small portions that will easily fall down the hopper chute without being forced. The harder the fruit or vegetable type the smaller the portion should be, for example carrot and beetroot should be cut into 2cm segments. Feed the material into the hopper, generally a segment at a time. Allow the juicer to have time to work and process the material before adding more. Gradually

If you are making multiple juices in one session avoid flavour cross over by pouring water into the hopper between juices to rinse the unit. Ensure that rinsing water is captured in a separate bowl so as not to dilute your juice.
Juicing Leafy Greens Leaves are more difficult to juice and may take some practice to get used to. The best way to feed them into the hopper is to roll them into small tight parcels before feeding into the hopper. Wet leaves will not process as well as dry leaves so after you have washed them pat them dry with paper towel.
