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 slower. Follow Disassembling and
Cleaning instructions and clean the filter bowl surround,
the stainless steel filter basket and the juicer cover.
• 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 unblock the holes or wash
in the dishwasher. This will remove excess fiber 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 slower.
• The juice is being extracted too fast. Try a slower juicing
speed and push the food pusher down the feed chute
slower.
