22 - Slow Juicer
• IF THE JUICER HAS NO POWER SUPPLY:
- Check if the plug is correctly plugged into the socket.
- Check if the lid and the extraction bowl are correctly
assembled.
- Check if the upper part and the base are correctly
assembled.
- The juicer doesn’t function if the parts are not
correctly assembled.
• LOW YIELD OF JUICE
- Not all ingredients are equally watery. Therefore, different
ingredients give different quantities of juice.
- If the ingredients are not fresh, it is possible they lost
moisture. Therefore, they give less juice.
- Check if the silicone tab is correctly installed.
- If the ingredient is not watery, it helps to soak the
ingredient in water before juicing.
- Ingredients with small seeds can reduce the yield of
juice. Disassemble the upper part and wash the parts for
the best result.
- Residues of seeds on the bottom of the sieve
can influence the quantity of yield of juice and the
performance of the juicer.
• TOO MUCH PULP IN THE JUICE:
- When juicing continuously, depending on the ingredient,
there may be a lot of fine pulp in the juice.
- Clean the upper part and regularly remove the pulp for
less pulp in the juice.
- Sieve the juice to remove unwanted pulp.
- If the sieve and the extraction screw are damaged
and the performance of the juicer are reduced, it is
recommended to replace these parts.
- The longevity of each part depends on the time and
way of use as well as on the used ingredients.
- If too much ingredients are inserted in the juicer at one
time, often the juicer will stop. This results in a lot of pulp.
Slowly insert the ingredients one by one in the juicer.
• THE LID DOESN’T CLOSE:
- Check if the extraction screw is correctly assembled in
the sieve to close the lid.
- If the extraction screw is not correctly assembled,
the lid might not close.
• THE JUICER MAKES STRANGE NOISES:
- Check if all parts are correctly assembled. Try to
assemble the juicer again and closely listen in order
to identify the strange noise.
- Don’t start the juicer without ingredients or liquids.
- Starting the juicer without ingredients can damage the
extraction screw.
- If the juicer is used without ingredients or liquids, the
noise may increase and the juicer can get damaged.
- The mechanical noise caused by the friction between
the extraction screw and the sieve disappears when
there are ingredients in the juicer.
- If the noise starts when the ingredients are in the juicer,
check the size of the ingredients. Don’t use ingredients
wider than 2,5 centimetres.
- Some ingredients might need cutting into smaller pieces.
- If the juicer is positioned on an uneven or tilted surface,
this might cause noise. Place the juicer on a flat,
horizontal surface during juicing.
• THE PULP IS VERY MOIST:
- At the beginning of the juicing the pulp can be very moist.
- The state of the ingredient, and especially the freshness,
can affect the pulp.
• THE EXTRACTION BOWL SHAKES WHILE JUICING:
- The extraction screw and the sieve are developed
to grind and bruise ingredients. It is normal for the
extraction screw and the sieve to shake.
- The upper part might shake more when juicing fibrous
ingredients.
• THE JUICER STOPS DURING JUICING:
- Check if the plug is correctly plugged into the socket.
- Check if all parts are correctly assembled.
- If you insert too much ingredients at once in the juicer,
the juicer can stop.
- If the juicer stops because there are too much
ingredients in it, repeat 2-3 times the cycle ‘REVERSE’-
‘OFF’-‘FORWARD’ in this order.
- The ‘REVERSE’ function pulls the ingredients up,
and the ‘FORWARD’ function pushes the ingredients
down.
- If the juicer stops to avoid overload, then leave the juicer
for half an hour to two hours to cool before using it again.
• DIFFERENT LAYERS IN THE JUICE:
- Depending on the density of the different ingredients,
different layers might show in some juices. This doesn’t
happen with high velocity juicers because of the
oxidation.
