• Repairs and maintenance on the appliance should only be carried out by authorized Espressions service points. As Espressions regularly works to improve its products, designs and specifications may change.

• Pack and protect the unit carefully during transport and storage.

Important guidelines for safe slow juicing

• For efficient and safe operation of the appliance, it is recommended to cut the ingredients into smaller pieces before pressing. It is recommended to cut harder and tough pieces of fruits and vegetables smaller than 5 x 5 cm and to add and press them one by one.
• Fruits and vegetables that contain no or virtually no juice such as banana and avocado are not suitable for pressing.
• Peel ginger and cut it into pieces of approximately 4 cm before pressing in order to prevent damage to the appliance.
• Fruits with pips and large hard seeds (plums, peaches, grapes, kakis, apricots, mangoes, etc.) as well as fruits with firm skin (citrus fruits, mango, etc.) may clog, overload and damage the juicer. Carefully remove pits, seeds and peels before pressing to prevent damage to the appliance.
• The machine is not suitable for pressing coconut, sugar cane and other fibrous foods.
• Peel citrus fruits before squeezing them.
  IMPORTANT
  Clean the fruit carefully and cut it into smaller pieces prior to pressing so that the pressing screw can feed and press it properly. If pieces remain in the hopper, use only the provided pusher to push them towards the squeezing screw. If ingredients are stuck so tightly that they cannot be pushed through with the pusher, use the reverse function to rotate in the opposite direction. If the ingredients continue to block the Smart Slow Juicer, unplug and remove the hard pieces.

Features and components of the Smart Slow Juicer

1. Pusher
   Used, if necessary, to push the fruit through the pressing chamber towards the Smart Slow Juicer’s pressing screw.

2. Entry mouth
   For feeding fruit and protects against splashing, equipped with rotating hand guard. In the case of larger pieces of fruit and vegetables, put them in and turn them over so that they fall into the feed mouth.

3. Hopper
   Connects the feed mouth to the press chamber.

4. Press screw
   The most important element of the Smart Slow Juicer. The press screw grinds ingredients and ensures the extraction of juice.

5. Plastic filter
   The plastic filter separates the juice from the pulp and is easy to clean.

6. Press chamber
   Here, fruit and vegetables are pressed and the juice separated from the pulp. Juice and pulp run from here to the right outlet.

7. Pulp outlet
   For the export of pulp.

8. Juice outlet
   For the export of the juice.

9. Housing / motor part
   The Smart Slow Juicer’s housing houses the motor and other technical and electronic components of the device.

11. Used to start and stop the Smart Slow Juicer.

12. Reverse button
    Used to change the direction of rotation
    of the press screw and to remove blockages in the pressing chamber

13. Cleaning brush
    To clean the removable parts and spouts.

14. Juice container
    For juice, place under the juice spout.

15. Pulp container
    For pulp, place under the pulp spout.

Using the Smart Slow Juicer

Before using for the first time, thoroughly rinse all parts of the appliance that come into contact with food. For instructions see ‘Cleaning, Maintenance & Storage.’

Installing the Smart Slow Juicer
Assemble the machine according to the instructions below and only use the machine in this assembled state for pressing.

1. Place the plastic filter firmly in the pressing chamber.

2. Place the press screw in the center of the chamber and press lightly. If the press screw is not tightened properly, the hopper will not fit properly onto the chamber.

3. Place the hopper on the press chamber (1) so that the tabs fall into the recesses and turn the hopper clockwise on the press chamber (2).

4. Now place the complete upper part on the housing of the Smart Slow Juicer. If this does not slide on correct immediately, press lightly until both parts fit together well.

Pressing with the Smart Slow Juicer

Play (start/stop) button
By pressing Start/Stop when the machine is plugged in, the machine will start to press. By pressing this button again, the machine will stop.

Auto reverse button
Pressing the reverse button will cause the press screw to turn in the opposite direction a number of times. This function can be used

to clear the press chamber of any blockages. When the chamber is free, the Start/Stop button can be pressed again to stop this function.

Practical tips for the best results

1. Wash fruit and (leafy) vegetables carefully before each use.

2. Use fresh fruits and vegetables with a high juice content for best results. Highly juiced fruits and vegetables include apples, pine- apples, pears, peeled citrus fruits, watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.

3. Peel fruit and vegetables with a firm skin before pressing. Think of mango, melon, pineapple, citrus fruit, etc.

4. Remove large and hard seeds before pressing to prevent damage to the appliance. For example, the seeds of mangoes, cherries, plums, apricots, etc.

5. Juice can taste bitter when many small seeds are pressed into the fruit. Remove these if necessary before pressing.

6. The amount of juice and the consistency
   of the pressed juice can vary, this is a normal phenomenon and depends on the ingredients used and the season.

7. Freshly squeezed apple juice can turn brown relatively quickly due to oxidation by exposure to oxygen. This can be delayed by adding some lime or lemon (juice) to the freshly squeezed juice during or immediately after pressing.

8. Juicer as they contain virtually no juice. Examples are potatoes, bananas, papaya, avocado, figs, etc. These are however very suitable to be mixed through the juice with a blender or hand blender.

9. With proper preparation, high-fiber ingredients like ginger can also be juiced
   in the Smart Slow Juicer. Before you start pressing, peel and cut these into 3 to 5 centimeter long pieces.

10. Tough vegetables with long stalks like celery can also be pressed, but cut them into 3 to 5 cm long pieces before pressing.

11. Squeeze leafy vegetables such as kale in smaller amounts and alternate with juice-rich foods such as apple to promote the flow of juice and prevent constipation.

12. For harder fruit or fruit with a lower juice content, also squeeze fruit with a high juice content in between. This will stimulate the flow of juice. For example, combine pieces of apple or carrot with pieces of mango or orange.

13. If the Smart Slow Juicer becomes clogged, clear by using the auto reverse button. If this fails, disassemble and clear the Smart Slow Juicer of the blockage before continuing to press.

Cleaning, maintenance and storage

1. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

2. Clean the appliance and rinse the removable parts carefully and immediately after each use to prevent ingredients from drying out and sticking.

3. The Smart Slow Juicer housing (motor part) must never be submerged in, or cleaned with, water or other liquids. Use a slightly damp cloth or sponge to clean the housing.

4. Always store the device in a clean and dry place.

5. Disassemble and clean the Smart Slow Juicer as follows after each use:

   • Close the drip stop of the juice spout and pour a small amount of water into the machine through the input nozzle. Now run the machine for a few minutes and, after switching it off, run the liquid through the juice spout. In this way, part of the fibres and residues of the ingredients will be soaked and flushed, which makes cleaning the appliance easier.

   • We recommend using the reverse button at the end of pressing and letting the press screw turn the other way for 2-3 seconds. This will make disassembly easier. Now stop the machine and remove the plug from the socket.

   • Turn the hopper counter-clockwise to unlock and remove the upper part completely. The hopper can now be removed from the press chamber.

   • Remove the press screw with a vertical movement.If the press screw is difficult to remove, remove it together with the plastic filter (see next step).

   • Take out the plastic filter.

   • Wash the removable parts thoroughly and rinse them under running water. Dry thoroughly before placing them back on the housing. If necessary, wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water.

   • Do not wash in dishwasher or hot water to avoid wear and deformation of the parts.

   • Dry the parts and follow the steps in ‘Assembling the Smart Slow Juicer’ to reassemble the device.
