III. Unpacking the Oil Press
Opening the Oil Press
First check whether there is damage due to transportation. Make sure the aluminum
heater cover stays close to pressing chamber. Otherwise clogging will occur and no oil
will come out!
As for the manufactured equipment: there may be discoloration or unevenness in the
surface of the pressing chamber. This is the normal appearance of unique, wear-resis-
tant metals and is normal with new products.
Packing items include one manual, one wrench (for removing the pressing chamber),
one material hopper, one power cord, one oil cup (gift), one slag net (gift) and one
hard round brush (gift); consult the website for any changes to gifts, as these can
change without notice.
Parts of the Oil Press
Figure 1 shows the panel of switches. The switch on the far left can toggle between
cleaning and squeezing. The red switch is the power switch. When on, the machine will
be heating, or it can be turned off. The small red button is overload protection. In the
bottom right, there is a label highlighting the wattage of your machine.

Problem: During pressing, lots of residue in the oil outlet.
Causes:
• The preheating switch is not on or was not left on long enough.
• Raw material contains too much water or the moisture was not properly
removed.
• Incorrect frying where the surface is burned but internal parts are still
raw.
Solutions:
• Replace raw material.
• Heat raw material according to instructions in this manual.
Problem: Oil will not properly separate, even after a few days.
Causes:
• Raw materials have been stored in excess of one year or raw materials
have been treated with chemicals while in storage.
• Raw materials became brittle after being heated.
• Incorrect heating where the surface is burned and internal parts are still
raw .
Solutions:
• Replace raw material.
• Heat raw material according to instructions in this manual.
Problem: Oil and residue spill simultaneously from the dross hole.
Cause:
• The raw materials contain too much moisture.
Solutions:
• Press with some soy beans to draw moisture from the raw materials.
Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
• Fire the raw material according to the above method of heat pressing.
Problem: Oil flows back from the base of the press barrel during pressing.
Cause:
• Raw materials are damp.
Solution:
• Dry raw materials in the sun or heat them in the microwave or oven until
they are dried out.
