and place it back on with its protruding part facing the
the front of the drum cap when finished cleaning.
Wipe the base unit with a soft, damp cloth.
ATTENTION! If the cloth is too wet, water

may migrate into the machine causing
fire, electric shock, or permanent damage.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Motor does not work
Check that the unit is plugged in correctly and your

outlet has power.
Auger stopped during use
Unplug and disassemble juicer to check to see anything is clogged in the auger.
The auger is grinding/wearing
Avoid running the juicer for long periods while empty.
The strainer does not separate the juice
Adding ingredients too fast into the chute may clog

the strainer. Use the reverse button to unclog the food
and disassemble the unit to clean the strainer before
further use.
Amount of juice is less than normal
Juice production depends on how fresh the produce

is. Older produce tends to dry out and will yield less
juice. Increase your yield with older produce by soaking it in water before juicing.
Juicer is yielding wet pulp
Combine produce with low fiber produce, like carrot,

with high fiber, like kale, to decrease the moisture content of the pulp and increase juice yield. Try to avoid
using the pusher
Part of the drum cap is blocked during juicing
This means that pulp is clogged in the drum cap. To

solve this, juice food with high fiber to unclog the pulp.
When juicing grapes, the skin is not ejected
Use the mincing nozzle for better results. The grape

skin may clog the strainer, so insert one or two pieces
of carrot to unclog during operation.
Juice is not being produced and pulp is backing up
Adding too many ingredients at once can cause this

problem. Stop adding produce and cycle the operation between 'FORWARD', 'STOP', and 'REVERSE' several
times to unclog. Add food more slowly to prevent this
problem.
Poor results when making noodles
Make sure the dough is not too watery. Also try oiling
the auger.
Rice is not grinding well
The rice has to be completely dry in order to work well.
