Overloading the
Juicer
If overloaded, the juicer will
make a clicking sound. It merely
indicates that the juicer was
being fed at too rapid a pace or the
tamper hasn’t been held down
long enough between pieces.
Unclog the juicer by hold-
ing the tamper down with
one hand and applying
downward pressure on the
tapered end of the body
with your other hand.
If clogged while juicing carrots,
feed a large carrot into the feeding
chamber while applying
pressure on the tapered
end of the body.
To juice, the screen must be inserted. Place a bowl below the screen holder to catch
the juice and a second bowl under the tapered end to catch the pulp.
Preparation of vegetables and fruits
Choose only the freshest produce. Wash and rinse everything thoroughly and cut off
any damaged sections or tough ends. Leave most peels on. Chilled produce results in
better tasting juice.
There is no need to cut or chop the produce into small pieces unless they are too
large to fit in the feeding chamber. For best results use the largest pieces of fruits and
vegetables that will fit into the feeding chamber.
Feeding Process
Feed most vegetables and fruit at a steady medium speed, holding down the tamper
a few seconds between each piece. As the food is fed into the machine the pulp
should discharge out the tapered end. If the tamper backs up more than 3/4 of an
inch after releasing it, hold it down a few seconds longer to eliminate more pulp and
prevent clogging. Strain the juice to remove any excess sediment or foam.
Prepare only the amount of juice to be consumed within a 24 hour period.
Wet Pulp
Pulp from the first two or three vegetables fed into the juicer may contain more
moisture than normal. Re-feed the pulp to obtain the maximum amount of the juice.
Unusually wet pulp is caused by a clogged screen or too rapid feeding. Turn off the
juicer, remove the screen and clean it with a stiff bristle brush. Re-assemble the juicer
and continue juicing. Fruit pulp is naturally wetter than vegetable pulp. When using
extra juicy fruit or vegetables, reduce feeding speed.
Always wash the screen after juicing to keep it clean and free of any pulp residue.
