Using Your Juicer
The Slow Juicer is an innovative product that uses a patented slow-speed masticating technology to efficiently extract the juice from ingredients. The juicer is designed to obtain the best result from ingredients with firm composition and with high water content.
STEP 1: After preparing the ingredients, plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
Note:
- Do not touch the power cord with wet hands, it may cause electrical shock, short-circuit or fire.
- Check the safety of the wall outlet.
STEP 2: Press the FORWARD button to operate.
Note:
- Forward: Pulls down and slowly masticates the ingredients.
- Reverse: Pushes the ingredients back up to dislodge them.
If the ingredients become jammed in the screw and the drum lid does not open, press the OFF button. Then press and hold the REVERSE button until the ingredients become dislodged. Repeat REVERSE-OFF-FORWARD as often as needed to achieve the desired result.
STEP 3: Insert the prepared ingredients one piece at a time.
Note: Fibrous leafy vegetables (celery, kale, etc.):
- Separate each stem. Cut the outer stems that are thick and tough to 4 inches long or less.
- Bundle up the leafy vegetables as inserting into the juicer. Alternate between leafy parts and stem.
- Before extracting, remove hard seeds or pits in ingredients.
- When juicing frozen fruits with small seeds, ensure that even the seeds are completely thawed.
- Insert the ingredients one piece at a time.
TIP: After inserting ingredients use the pusher when it is necessary. Too much use of the pusher may affect the juice quality.
Intermittently use the pusher for soft ingredients like tomatoes. Constant use of pusher for soft ingredients may affect the juice quality.
STEP 4: Use the smart cap to make mixed juices, Stop juice from dripping or rinse between different juices.
TIP: Juicing with the smart cap closed creates various mixed juice creations when different fruits and vegetables, milk, banana, beans etc. are selected.
- After juicing, close the smart cap to stop the juice from dripping, especially when disassembling the juicing bowl off the base.
- When making different juices quickly rinse away any leftover flavours by running a glass of water in the juicer with the smart cap closed.
Note: Leave the smart cap open when juicing ingredients that create excessive foam during extraction (e.g. Apples, celery)
- Pay close attention when operating with the smart cap closed. Juice may overflow if the juice collected in the juicing bowl exceeds its capacity marked on the bowl.
STEP 5: After juice and pulp are completely extracted, switch the unit OFF.
Note: If the remaining ingredients in the juicing bowl have not been extracted completely, the drum lid may not open easily. After each extraction, run the juicer for an additional 30 seconds to let the juicer extract the remaining pulp.
- When the drum lid is stuck, press the REVERSE-OFF-FORWARD button in this order; Switching back and forth 2 or 3 times to dislodge the ingredients. Place hand on top of the drum lid and firmly press down while simultaneously turning the drum lid counter-clockwise to open.
Depending on the ingredients, pour water down the food chute to rinse out the interior of the juicing bowl and then attempt to remove the drum lid.

Ingredient Preparation
Before Operating:
- If the juicer is jammed or if the drum lid does not open, press the REVERSE button and hold until it becomes dislodged. Repeat REVERSE-OFF-FORWARD as needed.
- Continue operating the juicer until all the ingredients in the juicing bowl are extracted. The drum lid may not open easily if there is a lot of pulp remaining in the juicer.
- Every ingredient yields different amounts of juice.
Juice Yield:
- For the optimal extraction and maximum juice yield, cut the ingredients following the guidelines given in this section.
- Insert ingredients slowly monitoring how the ingredients are extracted. The juice yield may vary depending on the juicing speed.
Soft fruits and vegetables (e.g. Oranges, tomatoes):
Preparation Tips:
- Cut 1-4 wedges
Extraction Tips:
- Slowly insert the ingredients one piece at a time.
- Use the pusher to push the ingredients down the food chute. (The pusher also helps prevent the juice from spraying out of the food chute when extracting ingredients with high water content).
- Leave the smart cap open when juicing ingredients that create excessive foam during extraction. (Foam can accumulate if operated with the smart cap closed).
- It is recommended that the extracted juice be consumed within 48 hours after extracting. Depending on the density of the ingredients the extracted juice can gradually show layers over time.
- Slowly insert the ingredients one piece at a time.
- If there is an excessive amount of foam, use a mesh strainer to separate it from the juice.
- When an ingredient is being masticated by the juicing screw, the squeezed ingredient may splash juice through the food chute. Use the pusher to block out the juice splash when juicing.
How to Use the Smart Cap:
- Juicing with the smart cap closed allows mixed juice creations with different fruits, vegetables and liquids.
- After juicing close the smart cap to block excess juice from dripping, especially when disassembling the juicing bowl off the base.
- When making juices quickly rinse away any leftover flavours by running a glass of water in the juicer with the smart cap closed.
- Leave the smart cap open when juicing ingredients that create excessive foam during extraction (e.g. Apples, celery).
- Pay close attention when operating the juicer with the smart cap closed. Juice may overflow if the juice collected in the juicing bowl exceeds its capacity marked on the juicing bowl.
Adjusting the amount of pulp in the juice:
- Depending on the ingredient, you may get extra pulp in the juice when juicing continuously.
To reduce the amount of pulp, disassemble the top-set and wash frequently.
Hard fruits and vegetables (e.g. Carrots, potato, beets & spinach):
Preparation Tips:
- Slice the ingredients 1 inch thick or cut 1 inch wide and 2-6 inches long.
- Soak hard ingredient like carrots and ginger in cold water prior to juicing.
Extraction Tips:
- Slowly insert the ingredients one at a time.
- Pace the juicing speed ensuring each ingredient is thoroughly extracted.
- To maximize the juice yield, juice with ingredients with high water content.
Ingredients with small seeds (e.g. Raspberry, pomegranate, grape):
Slowly insert ingredients with small seeds to prevent the seeds from clogging the strainer.
Preparation Tips:
- When juicing frozen ingredients (e.g. Raspberry, strawberry), make sure they are completely thawed.
- Thoroughly rinse ingredients like grapes. Take the grapes off and discard the stem.
- For pomegranate, discard the skin and juice only the inner part.
Extraction Tips:
- Depending on the size of the grape, insert 3-5 grapes at a time while monitoring the extraction result.
- Thaw frozen ingredients like pomegranate and raspberry then insert about 1 tablespoon (5g) at a time.
- Frozen ingredients usually lose a significant amount of fluid thawing. When juicing, you mix milk or yogurt to balance the fluid loss.
Caution:
If the lid does not open due to an excessive amount of small seeds left in the juicing bowl, continuously run the juicer for 30 second to extract any leftover seeds. If the lid is still stuck, repeat REVERSE-OFF-FORWARD until the ingredients become dislodged. Then twist the lid to open while pushing downwards on the lid with palms (depending on the ingredient, pour some water down the food chute for quick rinsing to help to dislodge).
Fibrous and/or tough leafy ingredients (e.g. Celery, kale, pineapple):
- Fibrous ingredients like celery and kale should be cut into small lengths before juicing.
- When the pulp outlet is blocked by the fibrous ingredients, press the REVERSE-OFF-FORWARD button in this order, switching back and for the 2-3 times.
Preparation Tips:
- Soak fibrous ingredients in cold water for about 30 minutes before cutting them.
- Separate each stem cut the outer stems that are thick and tough to 4 inches long or less.
Extraction Tips:
- One at a time, slowly insert the prepared ingredients.
- Roll leaves into a spiral as inserting into the juicer.
- Insert the leafy part of the ingredients first then alternate between leafy parts and stems.
- For ingredients like wheatgrass, grab a handful and insert a bundle.
Caution
The fibres from tough ingredients like celery can wrap around the juicing screw and affect juicer’s performance. Cut the stems that are thick and tough to 4 inches long or less.
- Foam can build up from juicing fibrous ingredients. Use a strainer to remove the foam before serving.
- For ingredients like pineapple, slice off the rind of the pineapple and cut around the fibrous core. Cut the flesh of the pineapple to smaller pieces.
- The recommended amount of juicing per session is 500g. When juicing more than 500g, wash the top-set before continue juicing.
Cleaning & Care
1. Remove the juicing screw, strainer from the juicing bowl. Clean with the provided brush.
Note:
- Immediately clean the juicer after each use. If remaining residue in the juicer dries up, it can make disassembling and clean-up difficult. The excess build-up can cause poor performance in future uses.
- For easier disassembly, place the top-set in the sink and run the water through from the top of the top set.
- Thoroughly dry the bottom of the juicing screw where it connects to the metal cylinder shaft on the base.
2. Place the juicing bowl under running water and unplug the compression silicone to clean the pulp spout.
