by little.
• It is better juicing ingredients which contain a lot of flesh such as bananas, peaches or mangos with
moist fruit such as apples or oranges.

the pulp spout. Recommend to feed them into the feeding tube with stems.
• Cooked mushrooms are not recommended.
• Do not put the pulp into the feeding tube again for extracting.
●

spout and prevent normal flow.
●
Smoothie cone
• This is suitable to flesh full fruits. A lot of pulp is mixed when squeezing hard vegetable ingredients
with large amounts of fiber.
• The outflow of fruit flesh may differ depending on ripeness and fruit variety. A high amount of flesh is
produced from ripened fruits, soft and ripened vegetables, and softly cooked vegetables.
• The flesh texture of juice will be decreased when using fruit with less flesh (citrus, crispy apple,etc.).
• Cooked vegetables with flesh but less fiber can be squeezed into a puree. (Add cooking liquid as
necessary). It can be used to soups, sauces, etc.
• This is recommended to enjoy the juice with natural texture of the ingredients.
●
When squeezing large amounts of juice
• Juice may not flow well pulp is clogged and pressing against the gear section (depending on
ingredients).
Stop juicing and washout clogged pomace when pulp release stops or juice does not flow freely.
Ingredient that more easily clog with pulp: Grapes, pineapples, cooked asparagus, broccoli, ginger,
etc.
• Juice may not flow because solid fruit content or pulp is blocking juice spout when squeezing low
moisture ingredients and cooked vegetables. Use high moisture ingredients or some liquid to make
smooth squeezing.
