CARE & CLEANING
Ensure the juicer is turned off by pressing the ON/OFF button on the control
panel to OFF. Then switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug
the cord. Ensure the juicer is correctly disassembled.
TIP FOR EASIER CLEANING
• Clean as you go and avoid dried on juice or pulp residue.
• Immediately after each use, rinse removable parts in hot water to remove
wet pulp. Allow parts to air dry.
• To minimise cleaning, line the pulp container with a plastic freezer bag to
collect the pulp.
CLEANING
1. Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly
2. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord
3. Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
4. Clean the juice disc with the clean brush provided
5. Rinse and dry thoroughly
NOTE
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning the parts
or motor base as they may scratch the surface.
• The filter bowl surround, juicer cover and pulp container are dishwasher
safe (top shelf only).
• The Nutri Juicer™ Plus insert is not dishwasher safe. Please wash in
warm water.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Machine will not work when
switched on
• 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.
Motor appears to stall when
juicing
• 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 juice disc 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 to OFF then turn the appliance back on by pressing ON/OFF switch
to ON.
• Hard fruits 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 fruits and vegetables for juicing
Excess pulp building up the
stainless steel filter disc
• Stop the juicing process and disassemble products. Remove the juicer cover, scrape off pulp, reassemble and
begin juicing again. Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetable and fruit varieties.
Pulp too wet and reduced
extracted juice
• Try a slower juicer
• Remove juice disc and thoroughly clean mesh walls with a cleaning brush. Rinse the juice disc under hot water.
If the fine mesh holes are blocked soak the basket in a solution of hot water with 10% lemon juice to unblock the
holes or wash in dishwasher. This will remove excess fibre build up which could be inhibiting juice flow
Juice leaks between the rim of
the juicer cover
• Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher down the feedback chute more slowly.
Juice sprays out from spout
• Use juice jug and lid provided, or if juicing into a glass use the custom designed juice nozzle
• Try using fruits with more water content to help flush through the contents. Additionally, try a slower juicing action
by feeding one piece in at a time and by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.
When using the Nutri juicer™
Plus Extractor, the filter bowl
surround becomes full and clogs
its spout
• Try using fruits with more water content to help flush through the contents. Additionally try a slower juicing action
by feeding one piece in at a time and by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.
Overheating with excessive
loads
• 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
overload protection is activated, unplug the Juicer from the power outlet for at least 15minutes to allow the unit to
cool. The plug the juice into the power outlet as normal.
