•
Always use a grounded outlet.
•
Only press raw materials discussed specifically in this manual.
•
Do not press the dry residue, as it can lead to blockage in the pressing chamber.
•
Never use an induction cooker, light wave stove, or electric radiant cooker to fire
or heat raw materials. It will damage the raw materials and cause the press to
produce only powder.
•
The taphole should always remain open to allow spillage in case of overly damp
raw materials.
•
This machine should only be operated by adults who have read and fully
understood this manual.
•
Never allow operation of this equipment by children.
•
Only raw materials mentioned in this guide should be placed in the pressing
chamber. Hard objects or other materials could damage the machine.
•
Avoid pressing wet materials. They will block the pressing chamber.
•
Do not put fingers or any other objects into the pressing chamber to stir the raw
materials. This could lead to serious injury and/or damage to the machine.
•
Do not press materials after being overly dried out; if only powder comes out
during pressing, the material is too dry. This can lead to blockages in the machine.
•
When heating in the microwave, be sure to use a microwave safe plate or
receptacle.
•
Only camellia seeds should be fully roasted. All other raw materials can be roasted
to a medium-well level. Make sure to press raw materials while still warm to
maximize oil production. Once materials cool, the oil will be greatly reduced or
only powder will come out.
II. Safety Notes
Problem: The electric motor buzzes and shakes.
Cause:
•
The motor is jammed.
Solution:
•
Stop pressing immediately and remove raw material from hopper.
Preheat for one hour and then press “Clean” for up to two seconds ,then
press “Start” for one second. Repeat and the lever will ease out. If still
stuck, take out the press barrel, put it on the gas stove over a low flame,
and dry the dross hole (6 cm long) of the press barrel until raw materials
inside are burnt up. In the process, you will hear a squeaky sound. Then
you can reinstall the press barrel on the oil press, screw on nuts, and
press “Clean.” USE CAUTION to avoid burns and bodily harm.
Problem: The machine is making a sharp metallic noise.
Cause:
•
Materials are not entering the barrel evenly. You should allow it to con-
tinue to run two or three minutes and the noise will disappear as the raw
materials redistribute in the press barrel. If the metal friction sound still
occurs, then the raw materials are damp and sticking to one side of the
screw.
Solutions:
•
If raw materials are only partially damp, you can counteract this by
adding soy beans to draw out moisture from the raw materials until the
sound disappears.
•
Remove the press barrel, clear away the raw materials that are stuck on
the screw, and then dry the barrel.
•
Replace moisture retaining raw materials with heated raw materials(ac-
cording to the above method of heat pressing).
Problem: Powder begins coming out during the middle of the pressing
process.
Causes:
•
Too much raw materials was heated at one time.
•
Raw material was allowed to cool after heating.
Solution:
Heat about two pounds each time. When the pressing is about to finish,
you can heat a new batch. Cover raw materials when pressing, especially in
winter.
