Under running water, clean the outside of the juicing screw with a dish scrub. Use the tip of the cleaning brush to push out any residue in the crevices on the bottom of the juicing screw.
Thoroughly clean the juicing screw ensuring that the juicing screw is clean without any residue.
Thoroughly dry the bottom of the juicing screw.
After juicing ingredients with seeds, make sure to thoroughly clean the bottom crevice of the juicing screw. (If this area isn’t properly cleaned, it can cause the part to be damaged).
Clean the body with a soft damp towel and dry.
If the towel is dripping wet, make sure to squeeze out the excess liquid before using it on the juicer.

CLEANING SILICONE PARTS

Clean the rotation wiper under running water.
Thoroughly dry after cleaning. Before assembling the top-set, ensure that the compression silicone and silicone ring are firmly inserted.
If the compression silicone and silicone ring are not firmly inserted, juice may leak from the bottom of the juicing bowl.

After cleaning, attach the smart cap to the smart cap silicone on the juice spout.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	EASY SOLUTION
There is no power to the juicer	Check if the power cord is properly plugged in. Check if the drum lid and the juicing bowl are properly assembled. Check if the top-set and the body are properly assembled. NOTE: Juicer will not operate if parts are not assembled properly.
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 a reduced amount of fluid, which will yield less juice. Soak ingredients in cold water for about 30 minutes prior to juicing for the best result. Check if the compression silicone is firmly inserted. If the ingredient itself has low water content, it may help to soak it in water before juicing. If juicing ingredients with small seeds, after a few servings, it may reduce the juice yield. For the best result, disassemble and wash the top set in between juicing. If there is seed residue on the bottom of the strainer, this can affect juicer performance and the overall juice yield.
There is too much pulp in the juice	To reduce the fine pulp, clean the top-set frequently and extract the pulp. Use a mesh strainer and put the juice through it to collect the unwanted pulp. If the strainer and the screw are damaged and affect the juicer’s performance, it is recommended that 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 juicing screw is pushed all the way into the strainer in order for the drum lid to close properly. If the juicing screw 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 listening for the odd noise. Do not start the juicer unless there are ingredients and/or liquid in it. Operating the juicer without ingredients can cause damage to the screw. If the juicer is operated without ingredients or liquid, the noise level can increase and also can lead to damage. The friction noise from the juicing screw and the strainer will disappear when ingredients are inserted into the juicer. If the noise occurs when ingredients are inserted into the juicer, check the size of the ingredients. Do not insert anything over 3cm in thickness. Depending on the type of ingredients, the dimensions can be smaller. The noise can occur if the juicer is operated on an uneven or slanted surface. Place the juicer on a horizontally flat surface when operating.
The extracted pulp is very moist	During the very beginning of extraction, the pulp can be moister. Depending on the ingredient’s condition, the extracted pulp can be affected; especially when the ingredient is not fresh, the juice can be extracted with the pulp.
During operation, the juicing bowl shakes	The juicing screw and the strainer are set up to crush and squeeze the ingredients. It is normal for the juicing screw and the strainer to vibrate. If the ingredient contains strong fibre, the vibration from the top-set may be stronger.
During juicing, the juicer stopped	Check the power cord and make sure it is plugged incorrectly. Check that all the parts are correctly assembled. If too many ingredients are inserted at one time, this can cause the juicer to stop. When the juicer stops because there are too many ingredients inserted in it, press the REVERSE – OFF – FORWARD button in this order, switching back and forth 2 to 3 times. The reverse setting will push the ingredients up and the forward setting will pull the ingredients down. After using more than 30 minutes, if the juicer stops due to the overload protection, let the juicer cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour before juicing again. If there are hard seeds within the ingredients, remove them before juicing. Hard seeds can damage the juicer.
Layers of separation in the juice	Depending on the density of the ingredients, the extracted juice may show layers of different juices. It is different from separation due to oxidation caused by juicing with a high-speed juicer.
The drum lid is stuck	After juicing, let the juicer operate for another 30 seconds to extract the remaining pulp. If there is too much pulp in the top-set, this can cause the drum lid to not open. In this situation, press the REVERSE – OFF – FORWARD button in the order, switching back and forth 2 to 3 times. Then place both hands on the drum lid and firmly press down while simultaneously turning the drum lid to open. Pour water down the feeding tube to rinse out the insides and then try opening the drum lid.
Juice dripping down the body	If you make sure the compression silicone is plugged incorrectly.
Is it possible to juice ingredients with tough fibre?	Ingredients like celery or ginger contain long fibres that may wrap around the juicing screw and affect the juicer’s performance. When juicing fibrous ingredients, do not collect more than 500ml of juice. After collecting this quantity or less, clean the top-set completely before juicing again.
Discolouration of the plastic parts	After juicing, if the juicer is not cleaned right away, the remaining pulp inside the top-set 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 carotenoids such as carrots and spinach may dye plastic parts. When the parts are dyed with carotenoids, rub vegetable oil into the dyed areas and use mild detergent to clean. Vegetable oil should only be used during clean-up for parts that are discoloured. Do not use vegetable oil on the juicing screw or the strainer. If vegetable oil or oil from animal fat gets on the juicing screw or the strainer, this can affect the juicer’s performance and may result in damaged parts. The silicone pieces on the top-set can be detached to be thoroughly cleaned.
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. Do not juice ingredients with high contents of vegetable/ animal oil. If vegetable/animal oil gets on the juicing screw or the strainer, this can affect the performance of the juicer and could result in damaged parts.
