TROUBLESHOOTING

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

•  Do not place any fruits or vegetables inside juicer until you turn the unit on. Allow unit to run for at least 10 s before you start juicing.
•  Do not allow the pulp container to overfill as this may prevent correct operation or damage the unit.
•  Be sure to remove large pits from fruits such as peach, mango, etc. as they can damage the unit.
•  You can use a plastic bag inside the pulp collector container to avoid having to clean it.
•  Do not use bananas or avocados as they do not contain juice and will clog the unit. You can use a blender to add them to the juice.
•  You can use the pulp of the juices you prepare in a variety of ways. The pulp from fruits and vegetables contains high amounts of fiber and cellulose, which are essential for a healthy and well balanced diet. You can use the pulp to thicken soups and casseroles, or to enhance your desserts. Make sure to use the pulp the same day you juice to avoid loss of vitamins.
