INSTRUCTIONS & WARRANTY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before, and follow whilst using this appliance.

To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the power cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid.
Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table surfaces or counter.
Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not put your fingers or other objects into the juicer opening while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in opening, use the food pusher or another piece of fruit or vegetable to push it down. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off, remove the plug from the wall power outlet and disassemble juicer to remove the remaining food.
Do not push the food into the chute with anything other than the food pusher when the appliance is connected to a power source.
Always make sure the juicer jar lid is locked securely in place before motor is turned on. Do not unfasten the locking plate while juicer is in operation.
Care should be taken when handling sharp components, including the grinding head, during assembly, disassembly and when cleaning.
Do not touch moving parts.
Ensure the switch is in the “OFF” position after each use of the juicer. Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
Keep the appliance and the power cord away from the edge of tables or countertops and out of reach of children and persons with reduced physical, sensory and mental capabilities.
Always turn off and unplug the appliance from the power outlet when not in use, before fitting or removing attachments and before cleaning the appliance.
The use of filter attachments/accessories not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries or damage to the appliance and void warranty.
This appliance is NOT a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure they do NOT play with this appliance.
Always follow the instructions when using this appliance.
Always clean the appliance after use.
Please ensure all detachable parts are completely dry after cleaning before re-assembling the appliance for next use.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord/plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned, or been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact Customer Service for examination, adjustment, repair or replacement.
Care must be taken when handling filter attachments and when removing or fitting attachments into the juicer.
To disconnect, ensure the appliance switch is set to Off, turn off wall power outlet, then grasp and pull the plug from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
Misuse may cause injury.
Do not attempt to defeat any safety interlock mechanisms.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
Do not use the appliance for other than its intended purpose.
Do not use on an inclined plane or unstable surface.
For added safety, electrical appliances should be connected to a power outlet that is protected by a residual current device (RCD), also often referred to as a ‘Safety Switch’. Your switchboard may already incorporate an RCD. If unsure, call an electrician for verification and fitting if necessary.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

GENERAL USE

BEFORE FIRST USE

Carefully remove all packaging material, any stickers, and the plastic protector from over the power plug.
As some parts may be packed separately, check to ensure all items have been unpacked before disposing of the packaging.
Remove and save the instruction booklet.
All parts need to be thoroughly cleaned before being used for the first time (see ‘Care and Maintenance’).

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES HOW TO USE THE JUICER

Follow the below instructions when preparing different types of foods for slow juicing:
– Foods with hard fibre should be cut into 3-5cm slices in length and 1.5-2cm in thickness.
– Leafy vegetables and foods with long & hard fibre (such as celery, wild celery herb and collard greens etc), should have their stems cut of into slices of 3-5cm in length.
NOTE: When juicing celery the pieces need to be smaller than others due to celery being a stringy vegetable. This will help to avoid juice flowing back into the jar or overflowing out the top.
– Do not place any seeds and cores of fruits (such as peach, plum, mango or apricot) into the juicer to avoid any malfunction.
– Fruits and vegetables which have a hard skin should be peeled before being put into the juicer for processing.
– Do not put any ice into the slow juicer.
– Do not process any ingredients with high vegetable or animal oil to avoid the degradation and damage of the grinding head.
– Hard fibre foods, such as coconut or sugarcane should be pre-soaked before processing them in the slow juicer.
– It is not recommended to process hard fruits or vegetables rich in fibre and starch.
– Remove any peels and pits from foods such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits and melons.
Follow the below instructions when using the frozen fruit attachment:
– The slow juicer is not suitable for ice crushing.
– Do not process any hard frozen fruits. Make sure to semi-defrost the foods before processing them.
– Do not push the food into the chute with excessive force.
– The frozen fruit attachment cannot be replaced by the coarse filter or the fine filter when in use.
Do not overload the slow juicer with too many ingredients at a time and cut the foods to a size that fits into the feed chute. We recommend to add one piece of fruit or vegetable at a time to avoid overloads.
After use, allow the appliance to cool down between 5-10 minutes. Once the appliance has completely cooled down, you may disassemble and start cleaning the parts (see “Care & Maintenance” p.9).
NOTE: If you try to disassemble the appliance when still hot, you may notice that the parts do not come off easily.

ASSEMBLING THE SLOW JUICER

Before putting the jar in position, please check if the inner plug is placed in the residue outlet (see Fig.2). Place the jar downwards on the motor unit (see Fig.1).
NOTE: The jar needs to be assembled properly, otherwise the appliance will not operate.
There are three filter attachments including a fine filter, coarse filter and frozen fruit attachment. Select your preferred filter and insert it into the jar. Once in place put the grinding head into the jar (see Fig 3).
NOTE: The grinding head needs to slot into the axis of the motor. Slowly turn the grinding head clockwise until it falls into place.
NOTE: The filter attachments cannot be interchanged while the product is in use. To change the filter, the grinding head and jar lid need to be disassembled. TYPES OF FILTERS
FINE FILTER : Use the fine filter for juice with less pulp.
COARSE FILTER : Use the coarse filter for juice with more pulp, or to do jams.
FROZEN FRUIT ATTACHMENT: Use this attachment to process semi-defrosted fruits to frozen treats, such as fruit based ice creams, thicker purees or frozen fruit drinks.
Put the jar lid downwards on the jar and then align the symbol “▼” on the jar lid with the symbol “▲” on the jar. Then rotate the jar lid clockwise until the symbol “▲” on the jar aligns with the symbol “ ” on the jar lid (see Fig.4). Press the locking plate upwards to lock the jar lid into position. Every part needs to be assembled correctly, otherwise the appliance will not operate. Place the food pusher into the chute.
Place the juice container under the juice outlet and residue container below the residue outlet (see Fig.5).
The slow juicer is now ready to operate.
NOTE: The juice outlet has a spout cover. Ensure the cover is open when operating the juicer.
NOTE: The slow juicer motor base is heavy. When moving or carrying the appliance please hold and carry by the motor unit instead of the jar lid.

OPERATING YOUR JUICER

Before attaching the power cord into the power outlet, make sure the unit power switch is in the “ O ” position. The switch has three settings: “ I ” indicates “ON”: press the power switch to “I ” position to start the motor; “ O ” indicates “OFF”: press the power switch to “ O ” position to turn the juicer off; “ ” means reverse rotation: this setting can be used to reverse the grinder rotating and unclog any food stuck in the jar.
Make sure the juice container and the residue container are placed in position.
Cut fruits and vegetables into small pieces.
Place the prepared fruits or vegetables into the feed chute and gently push the food down using the food pusher.
Connect the appliance to the power outlet, and then press the power switch to the “ON” position.
NOTE: Please refer to “IMPORANT GUIDELINES HOW TO USE THE JUICER” and prepare the food accordingly.
Caution: Do not turn the power switch from “ I” to ” **” or from “ ” to “I” directly at any time during operation. If required, firstly press the power switch to “O ” position to stop the appliance and then turn the power switch from “ I” to ” ” or from “ ” to “I”.
Caution: Do not operate the unit without food to avoid damaging the grinding assembly (includes grinding head and filter).
Caution:** Do not put any objects other than recommended foods into the feed chute while product is in use.
When the juice container is full turn the power switch to the “O” position and empty the juice container and residue container before continuing.
NOTE: The max operation time is 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, let the unit rest for 30 minutes before starting a new juicing cycle.
NOTE: Do not insert too much food at a time.
NOTE: The slow juicer has a safety interlock switch. If any parts loosen or disconnect during operation, the unit will switch off.
Enjoy the fresh juice in time for best taste. Any leftover juice can be stored in the refrigerator.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If the juicer stops operating, it may have tripped the reset button “ ” located above the power cord. The reset button may trip if the unit has become clogged with food or if it has overheated from being run too long.

Press the power switch to the “O” (Off) position and then let the unit cool down for 30 minutes.
Once cooled, press the reset button “ ” on the back of the unit and then press the power switch to the “ ” (reverse) position in short bursts to clear any clogged foods.
Switch the power to the “I” (On) position and the unit should run freely.
NOTE: If the unit does not run freely, switch Off immediately and remove the plug from the wall power outlet. Dismantle and clean out the grinding mechanism.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance and wait until it has completely cooled down before disassembling and cleaning.
Remove the food pusher, then unclip the locking plate outwards to release the jar lid.
Turn the jar lid anti-clockwise to remove it.
Lift the jar upwards to remove it from the motor unit. NOTE: It is recommended to disassemble the jar, filter and grinding head over a kitchen sink.
Detach the filter attachment and grinding head from the jar. For easy disassembly of the grinder head, push the grinder axis upwards (see Fig.6). Ensure that one hand holds the jar and the other holds the grinder head.
Empty the residue container, and then clean the jar lid, grinding head, filter, jar and residue container under running water. When cleaning the filter, only brush the concave surface of the strainer under running water with the cleaning brush.
Caution: Filter attachments are sharp, so handle carefully during cleaning.
Caution: Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to clean the appliance, as they may damage the surfaces.
To clean the residue outlet, pull the inner plug out of the outlet. This will make it easy to access the outlet with the cleaning brush (see Fig. 2).
Wipe the outside of motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water.
Dry and assemble all parts well and then store the appliance in a dry place.

STORING

Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly dry.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, keep it loosely coiled.
The juice container can be stored in the residue container.

Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord) is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal service.
