OPEN & CLOSE OF JUICER SPOUT COVER
For an optimal juicing experience, we recommend keeping the juicer spout open to allow fresh juice to flow out immediately after extraction, ensuring that the pulp remains separated from the juice.
BENEFITS OF DRIP-STOP COVER:
1. To stop dripping at the end of the juicing process, making kitchen cleanup easier and preventing residual juice from leaking out.
2. To mix the juice with different fruits and vegetables.
USAGE TIPS:
1. Remove hard pits or seeds before juicing to avoid damaging the juicer.
2. Start with harder fruits when making mixed juicers, followed by softer ones.
3. Allow the juicer to run for 30 seconds after the lasting ingredient is added.
ATTENTION:
This juicer isn’t suitable for very hard or fibrous fruits or vegetables like sugarcane. Avoid juicing fruits that are dense in fiber, such as avocados, bananas, figs, mangos, papayas, dragon fruits, seedless grapes and strawberries. They will clog up the stainless-steel sieve.

Attention:
• Do not use iron wire brushes or abrasive tools.
• Avoid using water hotter than 40°C.
