Troubleshooting
Juicer will not work
when switched ON
•
The safety locking arm may not be correctly engaged in the vertical
operating position. Check the top cover is properly aligned and the locking
arm is located rmly into the two grooves on either side of the juicer cover.
•
Motor overload protection may have operated (see below).
Overheating with
excessive loads
•
The juicer is equipped with an internal self-resetting overload to prevent the
motor from damage under heavy or continuous loads. If the motor suddenly
stops working, turn the dial to OFF, and unplug the unit from the power
outlet. Allow the juicer to cool for at least 30 minutes before operating again.
NOTE: The unit MUST be turned o in order for it to cool and be reset.
•
Despite this overload protector, we suggest juicing in smaller batches,
without excessive pushing force, to avoid overheating and stalling and to
maintain the life of the motor.
Excess pulp building
up in the stainless
steel lter basket
•
Stop juicing, disassemble to scoop excess pulp o the juicer cover.
Reassemble and continue juicing. Alternating soft and hard ingredients may
help avoid this.
Pulp too wet
and reduced
extracted juice
•
The cleaner the lter, the better the juice yield, and dryer the pulp. Be sure to
thoroughly clean the juicer as soon as possible after each use. Remove the
stainless steel lter basket and thoroughly clean mesh walls with a cleaning
brush. Rinse the lter basket under hot water. If the ne mesh holes are
blocked, soak the basket in a solution of hot water with 10% lemon juice to
unblock the holes or wash in the dishwasher (top shelf). This will remove
excess ber build up which could be inhibiting the ow.
Juice leaks between
the rim of the juicer
and the juicer cover
•
Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher down the feed chute
more slowly.
•
Also ensure there is no build up in the lter basket.
Juice sprays out
from spout
•
The juice is being extracted too fast; try a slower juicing speed (if possible)
and push the food pusher down the feed chute more slowly.
