How To Properly Use And Maintain Your Juicer

Examine whether you use a traditional centrifugal juicer or a slow auger juicer to understand performance and noise levels.

Recognize that smaller centrifugal models have a narrow feed chute and might require more chopping.

Notice that larger centrifugal models have a bigger feed chute, letting you use larger produce pieces.

Slow or auger juicers compress produce at lower speeds and can handle leafy greens more effectively.

Clean and cut fresh produce to fit into the feed chute, especially for smaller centrifugal machines.

Apply gentle pressure when inserting hard ingredients such as beetroot to avoid straining the motor.

Plug in the machine only when ready to juice and ensure the lid is securely attached.

For slow juicers, use the reverse function if ingredients become jammed to release stuck pieces.

Use the slow juicer to puree tomatoes or softer fruits, collecting juice and pulp separately.

Clean the juicer parts immediately after use to prevent build-up and reduce scrubbing time.

Discard or reuse all pulp, taking care to empty the container before washing.

Avoid using a dishwasher for the filter or mesh to prevent damage or warping.

Use a soft brush under running water to remove residue from both the fine mesh and removable parts.

Apply the same cleaning rules for slow juicers, including rinsing the auger and strainer right away.

Store all parts in a dry place and handle them carefully to prolong the motor and component lifespan.
