JUICING TIPS

Juicer damage due to owner negligence or from not following the instructions in the owner’s manual will void the warranty service.

Please be careful! We recommend you juice slowly! Enjoy the process. Do not rush, what’s the hurry?

• Ha r d Fruit – Carrots and beetroots should be juiced first when mixed with high yield fruit such as apples and pears for best results.
• Fibrous and/or tough leafy ingredients – Fibrous ingredients like celery and kale should be cut into small lengths before juicing and mix with high yield fruit. If the juicer becomes stuck, run in reverse or remove. Use the pusher to push through if necessary.
• Seeded Fruit – ingredients with seeds like grapes, afterwards always thoroughly clean all the bottom of the auger.
• Nuts (for nut milk) – Always soak overnight before putting them in the juicer.

DO NOT put the following ingredients into the juicer:

• Ice – Do not use ice inside the juicer. Add ice afterwards. Even better, refrigerate the fruit/vegetables before juicing.
• Hard seeds – Peach, nectarines, apricot, plum, mango, etc. Remove from the stones before juicing.
• Skins – Pineapple, melon, mango, orange, etc. Peel the skins from fruit before juicing. If you don’t eat it, don’t juice it!
• Sesame seed, butter, margarine – Do not extract ingredients containing vegetable or animal oil. This can reduce performance and permanently damage the juicer.
• Coconut, sugarcane, whole grains – Do not extract ingredients with no water content. They will damage the juicer.

• Closed
  

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

For a YouTube video on how to assemble scan this QR code or go to this link:
https://www.youtube.com/Fridja

Wash the parts before first use. The juicer may leak and not turn on if assembled incorrectly.

• Always check the silicon valve plug is inserted into the bowl (particularly after washing).

• Position the juice bowl onto the base, aligning the juice and pulp spouts.

• Once the bowl is in position, place the auger firmly into the centre of the bowl. Make sure it touches the bottom, otherwise it will not be possible to close the cover of the juicing jug.

• Position the juicing jug so that the ▲ on the chute aligns with the padlock. Twist the juicing bowl until it clicks. This will release the safety mechanism.

• Place the juice and pulp jugs under the correct spouts. The juice jug has measurements and a spout to pour. it’s juice time!

HOW TO JUICE

For a product overview YouTube video scan this QR code or go to this link:
https://www.youtube.com/Fridja

Wash and prepare all your ingredients. Plug the power cord into a wall plug socket.

• Open the lid and add fruits and vegetables into the juicing jug. Make sure to note which fruits and vegetables are recommended according to this manual.
• Close the lid and ensure the anti drip tap is closed.
• Rotate the rotary knob to the on position.

On position – Pulls down and slowly masticates the ingredients.
Reverse position: Pushes the ingredients back up to dislodge them.

• If you are juicing a mixture of hard and soft fruits, juice the hard fruit first.
• Use the anti-drip tap to make mixed juices and stop juice from escaping the juicing bowl. Juicing with the anti-drip tap closed creates various mixed juice creations when different fruits and vegetables are juiced. Open the anti drip tap to pour juice into the juice jug. After juicing, close the anti-drip tap to stop the juice from dripping, especially when disassembling the juicing bowl off the base.
• After the fruits and vegetables are completely extracted from the juicing jug, switch the unit OFF.

After each extraction, run the juicer for an additional 30 seconds to let the juicer extract the remaining pulp. Clean the juicer immediately. Details are on the following pages.

Your juicer has a safety mechanism when it overheats. The juicer will switch off automatically. If the juicer switches off, turn the rotary knob to ‘off’. Wait at least 10 minutes to let the juicer cool down before turning back on.

MAKING NUT MILK

Using almond or cashew nut milk instead of dairy is a fantastic idea and really simple to do with your new juicer. Assemble the juicer and use the juice filter, just like you were going to make juice.

Soak nuts such as almonds overnight in a bowl. The next day replace the water with fresh water. Add the nuts along with the fresh water using a ladle into the juicer for delicious nut milk!

HOW TO DISASSEMBLE

Turn the rotary knob to OFF and unplug the power cord from the plug socket. Extract all the remaining produce in the juicing bowl before stopping the juicer. For easier clean up, operate the juicer for an additional 30 seconds after the juicer has finished extracting.

• Close the anti drip tap. Remove the pulp and juice jugs.

• Remove the juicing jug by rotating anti-clockwise until the ▲ on the chute aligns with the padlock. Lift the juicing jug off.

• Remove the auger by lifting from the bowl. If it is stuck, gently rotate until loose.

• Lift the bowl from the base.
  Immediately clean the juicer after each use. If remaining residue in the juicer dries up, it can make disassembling and clean-up difficult. The excess build up can cause poor performance in future uses.

HOW TO CLEAN

It’s important to keep your juicer clean to ensure its long life. Switch off the juicer and unplug. Wash all parts with warm soapy water. If the mesh on the juicer jug is clogged with pulp, use the supplied cleaning brush.

Please note:

• Do not use an iron wire brush to clean.
• If you use the dishwasher, It is important to not wash above temperatures of 40°C.

1. When washing the bowl, remove the silicone valve from the socket. This will make it easier to clean.

2. Clean the seal ring of the bowl by turning the bowl upside down and pushing the ring out with your thumb.

3. When putting the seal ring back in, the small ribbed surface should at the bottom/outside the bowl. The flat side should be inside the bowl.

When cleaning the base, never submerge it under water. Simply wipe it clean using with a damp cloth.

After cleaning, please make sure all parts are fully dry before reassembling

TROUBLESHOOTING

When there is no power to the juicer:

• Check if the power cord is properly plugged into the plug socket (and the plug socket is turned on).
• Check if the drum lid and the juicing bowl are properly assembled. Watch the video on how to assemble! It won’t turn on if assembled incorrectly.
• If the juicer stops due to the overload protection, let the juicer cool before juicing again.

Low juice yield:

• Different ingredients hold different amounts of fluid that will yield different amounts of juice. If the ingredients are not fresh, they may contain reduced amounts of fluid, which will yield less juice.
• Check if the silicone valve lip is firmly inserted into the bowl to ensure no juice is leaking.
• If the ingredients have low water content, it may help to soak them in water before juicing. If juicing ingredients with small seeds, the yield may reduce due to seed residue.
• For certain fruit, disassemble and wash the top-set in between juicing. If there is seed residue on the bottom of the auger, this can affect juicer performance and the overall juice yield.

There is too much pulp in the juice:

• When continuously juicing, depending on the ingredients, the juice may contain a lot of fine pulp. To reduce the fine pulp, clean the juicer jug frequently.
• Use an external sieve and put the juice through it to collect the unwanted pulp.
• If the juice jug and the auger are damaged and affecting the juicer’s performance, it is recommended the parts be replaced. The lifetime of each part may vary depending on length and method of use and ingredients extracted.

The drum lid will not close:

• Make sure the auger is pushed all the way in to the strainer in order for the drum lid to close properly. If the auger is not properly in position, the drum lid may not close.

Odd noise from the juicer:

• Check if the parts are assembled correctly. Try reassembling the parts and listen for the odd noise. Do not start the juicer unless there are ingredients and/or liquid in it.
• If excessive noise occurs when ingredients are inserted into the juicer, check the size of the ingredients. Try cutting up dense/stringy/hard fruits and vegetables.
• Noise can occur if the juicer is operated on an uneven or slanted surface. Place the juicer on a horizontally flat surface when operating.

Juice dripping down the body of the base:

• If the silicone valve lip on the bottom of the juicing bowl is not plugged in correctly, the juice may seep out on to the juicer base. Before assembling the parts, check and make sure the compression silicone is plugged in correctly

Discolouration of the plastic parts:

• After juicing, if the juicer is not cleaned right away, the remaining pulp inside the juicing jug and auger can dry up which can make disassembling and cleaning hard.
  This can also affect the juicer’s performance and colour.

• Ingredients that are rich in carotenoid such as carrots and spinach may dye plastic parts. When the parts are dyed with carotenoid please use mild detergent to clean.

• Do not use vegetable oil on the juicer. Vegetable oil or oil from animal fat affects the juicer’s performance and will result in damaged parts.

Using for purposes other than juicing:

• This juicer is designed to juice ingredients like fruits and vegetables. Do not use the juicer for extracting vegetable oil.
