overload protection
LED flashes
•
This indicates the motor speed is slowed down to a not-efficient level. This may
be caused by too heavy pushing force on the pusher or too much pulps sticking
onto the lid or in pulp pin. Using proper pushing force on the food pusher or
regularly clean the lid and pulp bin can prevent this situation
to happen.
Overload Protection
LED is on
•
This indicates motor overload protection is activated. To reset the unit, unplug
the unit from power and let the motor cool down for 10 to 15 minutes, and plug
the power on again.
Tips
THE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON JUICING
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an
excellent source of vitamins and minerals.
When you make your own fruit and
vegetable juices, you have complete
control over what is included.

for
additional nutritional and fibre information
on green juicers and green smoothies.
PREPARATION OF FRUIT
AND VEGETABLES
Fruits with hard or inedible skins should
be peeled before juicing, including melons,
mangoes, pomegranate, etc.
Some vegetables, such as cucumbers can
be processed unpeeled depending on the
softness of the skin and whether you like the
taste of the skin in your juice.
Fruits with hard seeds or stones must be
pitted before juicing, including nectarines,
peaches, mangoes, plums, cherries, etc.
Citrus fruits with thick pith or skin should
be peeled before juicing, including oranges,
lemons, mandarins, as the skin and pith can
make the juice bitter.
Trim leaves and wash vegetables to remove
earth/soil, including carrots, beetroot,
spinach, etc.
Trim, hull and remove stalks before juicing,
including strawberries, apples, pears, etc.
A small amount of lemon juice can be added
to apple juice to reduce browning.
THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE
When juicing a variety of ingredients
with varying textures, start with the softer
texture ingredients on LOW speed and
then gradually change to HIGH speed
for the harder textured ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or other leafy
green vegetables, either wrap them together
to form a bundle and alternate with more
solid ingredients for the best extraction.
Fruits and vegetables produce different
amounts of liquids, and can vary between
batches or at different times of year. Since
juice recipes are not exact, the precise
quantities of any juice are not crucial to
the success of a particular mixture.
To extract the maximum amount of juice
always push the food pusher down slowly.
Allow the motor to reach full speed
before putting ingredients in the chute.
Pressing ingredients down before the
juicer reaches full speed can cause the
motor to stall or overload. Use gentle to
moderate pressure on the plunger. Lower
pressure produces a better juice yield.
