EASY SOLUTION
The safety locking arm may not be correctly engaged in the vertical
operating position with the locking arm located into the two grooves
on either side of the juicer cover.
Wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover if the juicing action is too
vigorous. Try slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down
more slowly. Follow Disassembling and Cleaning instructions and
clean the filter bowl surround, the stainless steel filter basket and the
juicer cover.
The juicer will automatically stop operating if the motor is stalled for
more than 10 seconds. Either too much food is being processed at
one time or the pieces are not small enough. Try trimming the food
or cutting into smaller pieces of even size and processing a smaller
amount per batch. To continue juicing, reset the juicer by pressing
the ON/OFF switch on the control panel back to OFF then turn the
appliance back on by pressing ON/OFF switch to ON.
Hard fruit and vegetables will put excess strain onto the motor if a low
speed is selected. Please refer to the juicing guide to determine the
correct speed for the fruit and vegetables selected for juicing.
Stop the juicing process and follow Disassembling instructions.
Remove the juicer cover, scrape off pulp, reassemble and begin juicing
again. Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetables and fruit varieties.
Try a slower juicing action. Remove the stainless steel filter basket and
thoroughly clean mesh walls with a cleaning brush. Rinse the filter
basket under hot water. If the fine mesh holes are blocked, soak the
basket in a solution of hot water with 10% lemon juice to unlock the
holes or wash in the dishwasher. This will remove excess fibre build up
(from fruit and vegetables) which could be inhibiting the flow.
Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher down the feed
chute more slowly.
The juice is being extracted too fast: try a slower juicing speed and
push the food pusher down the feed chute
more slowly.
The juicer is fitted with a safety device which safeguards against
overheating with excessive loads. If overheating occurs, the juicer will
automatically activate the overload protection device and the unit will
switch itself off. When the overload protection is activated, unplug the
Juicer from the power outlet for at least 15 minutes to allow the unit to
cool. Then plug the juicer into the power outlet and use as normal.
