TROUBLESHOOTINGJUICING TIPS
These tips will help you maximize the quality and quantity of your juice output.
Use fresh, ripe produce. In-season produce will produce the most juice with the best
avor and highest nutrient content. Avoid fruit with low water content, such as
bananas, avocados, papayas, and gs. They’re best processed in a blender or food
processor instead of a juicer.
Leave thin peels and skins on. Only thick, inedible peels such as those of oranges,
melons, and pineapples need to be removed before juicing. (Pineapple cores should
also be removed.)
Remove pits and stones before juicing. Nectarines, peaches, mangoes, plums, and
cherries must be pitted before juicing. Small seeds, such as apple seeds, will be ltered
out with the pulp.
Leave some vegetables whole. Depending on their size, many cucumbers, carrots,
tomatoes, and apples can be processed whole. Put carrots in the feed tube stem end
down.
Bundle leafy greens for processing. To get the best extraction from leafy greens,
roll a few into a bundle and push them through stem side up.
Push the feed tube pusher down slowly. Juicing slowly ensures you’ll extract the most
juice.
Start with softer produce. When juicing a variety of ingredients, start with the softer
produce on Speed 1 (Low), then increase the speed to Speed 2 (High) for harder
produce. To inhibit browning, add a few drops of lemon juice to the pitcher before
juicing; this is especially helpful with apple, juice, which oxidizes quickly.
Enjoy your juice right away. Fresh-made juice loses avor and nutrients over time.
If juicing ahead, store the juice airtight in the fridge.
Don’t chuck the pulp. High in ber and nutritious, it can be used in soups, scrambled
eggs, mufns, or other baked goods. Alternatively, it makes a great addition to garden
compost.
Line the pulp container with a used produce bag for easy cleanup. If you plan to use
the pulp for compost, line it with a biodegradable compost bag.
If you have trouble with your Pro Juicer, these are some of the most common causes
and solutions.
PROBLEM LIKELY SOLUTION
The Juicer does not work. First double check that it’s plugged in. Otherwise, switch the
Juicer off, then check that you’ve assembled the lter holder
and lter correctly and the safety clamp is locked in place.
For safety reasons, the Juicer won’t work if the parts have
not been assembled properly.
The motor unit gives off an
unpleasant smell.
This is not unusual the rst few times the Juicer is used.
If it continues to give off a smell, check that you are not
overburdening the motor by using a low speed for hard
produce or pushing it too quickly down the feed tube.
The lter touches the feed tube or
vibrates strongly during processing.
Switch the appliance off and unplug it. Check if the lter has
been properly placed. The ribs in the bottom of the lter
should t properly onto the driving shaft. Check if the lter
is damaged. If so, contact Customer Support.
The motor appears to stall when
juicing.
Be sure to select the correct juicing speed. Hard fruit and
vegetables will put excess strain on the motor when juiced at
the lower speed. Also be sure to push foods slowly into the
feed tube as you juice them.
Pulp is too wet and juice yield
is low.
Excess pulp can build up in the lter. Turn off and unplug the
juicer. Remove the lter basket and clean with the brush to
remove any pulp. If pulp is dried on, it may need to be run
through the dishwasher.
Juice leaks from under the rim
of the Juicer’s lid.
Pulp can build up under the lid if foods are processed too
quickly. Be sure to push foods slowly into the feed tube with
the pusher.
The Juicer makes a lot of noise,
gives off an unpleasant smell, is hot
to the touch, or gives off smoke.
Switch off the Juicer, unplug it, and contact Customer
Support.
The Juicer seems to be slowing
down during operation.
The motor may need a rest. When juicing heavy loads
(i.e. large amounts of dense foods like carrots or beets), do
not operate for more than 40 seconds at a time and let cool
down between uses.
