Use
Important: Store-bought nuts are usually not
dry enough. We recommend drying such nuts
before pressing for at least two or three hours
in the sun or 30 minutes in an oven at a
temperature of 80
°C. For best results,
humidity in the nuts should not exceed 10 %.
Remove the funnel cover.
Add seeds or nuts into the funnel.
Note: Only use seeds or nuts with high oil
content. Solid parts such as rocks, sand, and
metal may damage the appliance. Seeds or
nuts larger than peanuts should be chopped
into smaller parts.
Close the funnel cover and put the oil and cake
containers in place.
Connect the appliance to the
power mains. Press the "on/off"
button and then the "start/pause"
button. The "on/off" button will
start blinking in red. After one
minute or when the appliance heats up to
operating temperature, the button will turn green
and appliance operation will start.
If the on/off button is not pressed, the appliance
will not operate.
The appliance has a built-in protection device.
Thus, it stops automatically one minute after the
funnel is emptied.
If the seeds are too large and the funnel is
clogged, the appliance will stop automatically after
one minute.
Seeds that are too moist or solid parts among the
seeds may clog or block the auger. In such case,
first press the "start/pause" button and then
immediately press the "reverse" button and hold it
for at least three seconds. The auger will start to
rotate in the opposite direction in order to unclog.
Note: Using soy in this appliance is not
recommended due to low oil content in soy
beans.
Tips
Store-bought peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts etc. are
usually not dry enough. Pressing such nuts may
block the auger and decrease the oil yield.
It is therefore recommended to toast the nuts or at
least additionally dry them before using them in
the appliance. If you decide to toast the nuts,
make sure not the heat them to a temperature
higher than 80
°C.
After pressing, we recommend letting the oil rest
for at least 12 hours in a cool and dark place for
the sediment to settle. Then, slowly decant the oil
into tinted bottles. Do not discard the sediment as
it is excellent for making sauces or dressings.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the
power mains and wait for the appliance to cool
down.
Remove the funnel (2)
and move the auger
enclosure lock lever (10)
to the "unlock" position.
Lift the protective cover
(3).
