Follow these steps when juicing

1. Ensure machine is properly assembled and ready for operation
2. Open the hopper door using the pusher handle and resting the pusher head on the cutout in the hopper tube.
3. Fill the hopper with desired amount of produce.(Do not overflow)
4. Close the hopper door using the pusher handle.
5. Press the “Shred” button. This will start the grind cycle.
6. Lightly apply pressure to the pusher. The produce will grind slowly into the press bag. Some vibration in the grinder and pusher is normal.
7. If there is resistance to the pusher let off pressure followed by a firm push. If it seems that the pusher is not making any progress, pull back the pusher and apply a couple quick, firm thrusts until the blockage is cleared.
8. Intermittent gentle pushing is more effective than steady  pushing.
9. When the hopper is mostly empty the pusher will make contact with the agitator, which will produce an audible “tap” sound. This is how you know you are finished grinding.
10. Open the hopper door again and repeat the process, grinding produce until the desired amount is in the press chamber. ( Do not overfill)
11. Once you have finished grinding the desired amount of produce for one press cycle, press the“Shred” button again to turn off the grinder.
12. Before pressing, check to make sure the bag is filled evenly and is not over-filled.
13. Press the “Single” button if you are pressing a small amount of produce (about 1.5 lbs or less), or press the“Batch”
    button if you are pressing a larger amount of produce.
14. The single cycle will take roughly ninety seconds, and the batch press will take roughly four minutes to run a full cycle. During this pressing time the operator does not need to be present, as the press will stop automatically when the cycle is finished.
15. At the end of the cycle, rotate the grinder into the “Up” position. Pull the press bag off of the pins and remove the press bag and pulp from the press chamber.
16. Push the moving platen back to the rear of the press chamber and insert a new bag. Return the grinder to the “Down” position and replace or empty the juice container if it is full. You are now ready to juice the next batch.
17. When you are finished, turn the power switch to the “Off”
    position.
