Before operating this machine, be sure to read all the warnings on page 5.
Operating Tips:
•
This juicer is intended for
wheatgrass and leafy greens
.
•
Before you turn on the machine, always make sure the
locking ring/pulp outlet
is tight.
(To tighten it, remember to turn it in a counterclockwise direction.)
•
When turning the key to lock the juicer body in place, turn it gently and
do not
over tighten
it. This will prevent the threads on the key from being stripped.
•
To turn the machine on, press the switch to the
“forward”
juicing position.
•
If for any reason the machine gets jammed,
use the “reverse” mode by
pressing and holding the switch to reverse position
.
•
To feed wheatgrass into the juicer, take a handful of grass that is about the
diameter of a quarter when pinched tightly.
•
Gently feed the grass into the juicer body so that the grass goes down and
contacts the grinding auger.
•
The grinding auger is designed to pull the grass down into the juicer. However,
to help it along you may use the included tamper or a carrot/celery to push it
through.
Never push grass down with your fingers!
•
Feed the grass into the juicer in a continuous motion. Quickly prepare the next
handful of grass to feed in right behind the first. Consider that each bunch of
grass is pressed through by the following bunch.
•
For best results, try not to feed in too much or too little grass at a time. Too
much may clog the machine. Waiting too long between feeding in grass or
putting in too little will result in inefficient juicing.
•
It should not be necessary to run the pulp through the juicer a second time as it
comes out relatively dry and putting it through again may produce unwanted
foam. However, if the pulp is moist and you want to put it through a second
time, the motor can handle it.
•
We recommend pouring the juice through a fine-mesh stainless steel strainer to
remove any excess pulp prior to serving.
