The Elite Gourmet Compact Slow Juicer, model EJX600, is a household appliance designed for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables. This slow juicer operates by pressing ingredients slowly, which is intended to preserve more nutrients and enzymes compared to traditional high-speed juicers. Its compact design makes it suitable for various kitchen sizes, and it is engineered for ease of use and maintenance.
The primary function of the Elite Gourmet Compact Slow Juicer is to extract juice from a wide range of fruits and vegetables. It utilizes a slow-press masticating technology, which involves a Squeezing Auger that crushes and presses ingredients against a sieve/strainer. This process separates the juice from the pulp, with the juice flowing into a dedicated juice cup and the pulp being expelled into a separate pulp cup. The juicer is equipped with an On/Off/Reverse Switch, offering three positions: On (I) for normal juicing, Off (O) to stop the machine, and Reverse (R) to clear any obstructions. The reverse function is particularly useful if ingredients get stuck during operation, allowing the auger to rotate in the opposite direction to dislodge them. The appliance is designed to handle various types of produce, from firm ingredients like carrots and apples to softer ones like berries and leafy greens. It is important to note that certain starchy fruits and vegetables, such as sugarcane, avocado, banana, fig, mango, papaya, dragon fruit, kiwi, and grapes, are not recommended for juicing with this device as they can easily clog the sieve. Similarly, fibrous fruits and vegetables like celery and pineapple should be cut into small pieces (1-1.5 inches) to prevent clogging. Hard pits and seeds must be removed from fruits like citrus and melons before juicing to prevent damage to the auger. The juicer should never be operated with an empty bowl; ingredients should always be added before starting.
The Elite Gourmet Compact Slow Juicer is designed for straightforward assembly and operation. Before first use, all removable and washable parts, including the Pusher, Chute & Strainer Assembly, Juicing Bowl, Juice Cup, Pulp Cup, and Cleaning Brush, should be washed in warm, soapy water, rinsed, and thoroughly dried.
Assembly involves several steps:
Once assembled, the juicer is ready for use. Ingredients should be cleaned and cut into 1-1.5 inch segments for optimal juicing. Firmer ingredients are recommended to be juiced first, followed by softer ones. The Pusher is provided to guide ingredients down the chute into the juicing bowl, and users are cautioned against using fingers or other foreign objects. The juicer should run for 30 seconds after the last ingredient is fed to ensure maximum juice extraction. A key feature is the Juice Spout Cover, which can be closed to prevent dripping at the end of juicing or to mix different fruit and vegetable juices within the juicing bowl before dispensing. The appliance is not designed for continuous operation for extended periods; it should not work for longer than 20 minutes at a time.
Cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and performance of the Elite Gourmet Compact Slow Juicer. The process begins by turning the switch to Off, closing the Juice Spout Cover, and removing the cups. The juicer should be unplugged and allowed to cool completely before cleaning.
Disassembly for cleaning follows these steps:
All disassembled parts should be washed under running water. The included Cleaning Brush is specifically designed to clean the sieve/strainer effectively. The chisel end of the brush is useful for removing fibrous material from the Pulp Spout. If residue remains in the mouth of the spout, the juicing bowl can be turned over, the Silicone Pressure Valve opened, rinsed with water, and then reattached.
A specific cleaning procedure is outlined for the seal ring in the center of the juicing bowl:
Important cleaning precautions include:
The manual also provides a troubleshooting guide to address common issues such as the juicer stopping suddenly, low juice yield, abnormal noise, difficulty opening the Chute & Strainer Assembly, and dyed parts. For instance, if the juicer stops, it suggests using the "R" (Reverse) position to dislodge ingredients. If parts are dyed, it notes this is due to the natural color of specific fruits/vegetables and is unavoidable.
