HANDS FREE CITRUS JUICER
Thank you for your purchase of the Vinci Hands Free Citrus Juicer and welcome to the Vinci family!
Vinci’s Hands Free Citrus Juicer makes juicing citrus virtually hands-free and effortless. Simply SLICE the fruit in half, PLACE the fruit on the Reamer, and PRESS the juice button. The juicer takes care of the rest.

Our SMART PRESSURE SENSITIVE JUICING TECHNOLOGY has built-in sensors that automatically sense the thickness of the citrus rind, ensuring you always get the best and optimal amount of juice without any bitter flavors that are often introduced when the peel is scraped by the reamer of other juicers. Use the Vinci Hands Free Citrus Juicer on all kinds of citrus, from small key limes to large 4.5-inch grapefruit.

Welcome
Citrus Juicing 101
WHY FRESH CITRUS JUICE?
Fresh citrus juice has been enjoyed by many cultures for millenniums, not only
for the taste but also for the abundance of health benefits.
Fresh citrus juice is packed with vitamins and minerals and boasts many more health benefits than its counterpart, store-bought pasteurized citrus juice. Not only is fresh citrus juice better for you, it also has a superior taste straight from the fruit.
IS CITRUS JUICE JUST FOR DRINKING?
We are glad you asked, no. Although fresh citrus juice is wonderfully
delicious straight from a glass, it is also used by most cultures in their
cuisine. Use fresh citrus juice in all kinds of recipes from marinades,
appetizers, desserts, cocktails, mocktails, and entrees.

HOW TO USE YOUR HANDS FREE CITRUS JUICER
How To: See it in Action!
1. Place your Vinci Hands Free Citrus Juicer on a flat surface, and plug the power cord into a suitable outlet.
2. Slice your desired citrus fruit in equal halves. The fruit should be sliced cross-wise into two equal portions, as shown. If the fruit has an oversized end or excess rind, it is suggested to cut it off before juicing.
3. Turn on the juicer by pressing the Power Switch to ON. The Power Switch is located on the back of the juicer. When the juicer is on, the the Power Switch will be illuminated red, and the Juice Button will be illuminated and flash blue.
4. Lift the Latch to open the Lid.
5. Using moderate pressure, place the fruit centered on the Reamer, and lightly press into place so that it is securely fitted on the Reamer.
6. Close the Lid, ensuring the Lid is latched correctly so it will not open during the juicing process.
7. Place a glass under the Juice Spout. If the Juice Spout is in the UP
position, the juice will collect in the Juice Bowl. If the Spout is in the
DOWN position, the juice will flow freely into the glass.
8. Press the Auto Juice Button. The motor will start, and the Reamer will automatically raise, extracting the juice. There will be a short pause; then, the Reamer will automatically lower. When the motor stops, the juicing is completed. The Auto Juice Button is illuminated solid blue during the juicing process, and reverts to flashing blue at the end of the juicing process.
9. Open the Lid by lifting the Latch and pulling up. Remove the juiced fruit and repeat process until you have juiced all your desired citrus.
NOTE: The Vinci Hands Free Citrus Juicer includes a safety feature that
suspends the juicing process in case the motor is exposed to excessive forces
or if the power is interrupted. If the juicer is in the suspend mode, the
Reamer will be in a raised position, and the Reset Button will flash blue and
there will be continuous audible beeps. By pressing the flashing Reset Button,
the juicer will reinitialize; the Reamer will return to the down (home)
position, the audible beeps will terminate, and the Reset Button will no
longer be illuminated.
Important: Turning on and off the power or unplugging the juicer will NOT
perform the reset operation. You must press the Reset Button.
Tips
- The large capacity Juice Bowl holds 12 oz. of juice; if juicing more than that, transfer juice to a glass or pitcher. Never fill the Juice Bowl past the MAX indicator.
- The largest diameter of fruit to be used is 4.5” – or the size of an oversized grapefruit. Regular sized grapefruit under 4.5” is recommended for use with the Vinci Hands Free Citrus Juicer.
- When selecting citrus to juice, you should look for the ones that do not have any blemishes, soft spots, dents, cuts, or mold. Pick fruit that is slightly heavy for their size; this means that they’re “liquid” dense and typically sweeter and juicier.
- Never insert more than one citrus half in the juicer; you can only juice one piece of citrus at a time.
- Never open the Lid during the juicing process.
- If desired or necessary, you can clean excessive pulp that has been retained by the Pulp Filter in between juicing.
- Try mixing it up and combining different citrus juices for fun variations- such as orange and grapefruit, or tangerine and lime!
- There almost 100 different citrus varieties and hybrids throughout the world, many of which have delicious juice. Try different types to drink and cook with such as mandarins, blood oranges or clementine’s.
- Don’t want to waste the leftover rind? Try making candied lemons, oranges, or grapefruit.
