NOISES
Even though the Green Star juicer is very quiet, some noises are normal during operation. If you
are unsure whether the noises you are hearing are normal:
1. Completely disassemble your Green Star and turn on the motor. You will hear a normal humming
motor sound. If you hear squeaking, your juicer may need lubrication between the Drive Shaft
and the rubber seals. Do not be intimidated by this noise. It does not affect the juicer’s
performance and will not damage any other parts on your juicer. Please call your service center
for instructions on how to lubricate your juicer.
2. Fully assemble your juicer and turn it on without adding any produce. You will hear the Twin
Gear sound. You may hear a repetitive thumping sound, which is normal. The Twin Gears may
have minor variations and the thumping sound is considered normal. This minor variation will
not affect the function and will not damage any parts.
3. While you are juicing you may hear a squeaking or chirping sound that is also considered to
be normal.
MOVEMENTS
A great deal of pressure is built up in the juicing chamber while in operation. In order to alleviate
some of this pressure, Green Star was designed to wiggle and flex while juicing to prevent damage
to other parts of the machine. The flexing is normal and will not cause damage.
JUICING
Remember that your juicer needs time - it is revolving at only 110 rpm. The most nutritious juice
is made slowly, allowing the produce to come into contact with the magnetic field (focused only
in the tiny space between the gears) for a maximum length of time. Also, slow juicing is gentler,
creating less heat build up.
1. Carrot
The Twin Gears are not blades - you will need to firmly push carrots into the slowly rotating
gears. Cut thicker carrots into lengthwise halves for easier juicing. The Plastic Plunger does
not reach all the way to the gears – try using the Wooden Plunger to push that last bit of
carrot for complete juicing.
2. Wheatgrass
To minimize the amount of foam produced, refrigerate the gears and wheatgrass for about 2
hours or overnight before juicing. As you are juicing, spray some cold water on the wheatgrass.
If you do not mind wheat grass juice mixed with carrot juice, you will get maximum yield on
the wheat grass juice with minimum foam by alternating wheat grass and carrot while juicing.
Note:
Certain batches of wheatgrass may cause more foam than others! If you notice that
your wheatgrass is generating excess foam, try finding a new source for your wheatgrass.
3. Leafy Vegetables
To juice leafy vegetables easily, simply roll the leaf into a cylindrical shape and insert into the
Feeding Chute.
4. Apples
Always use crisp varieties of apples for juicing such as Fuji Apples or Granny Smith. Avoid
softer varieties of apples like Red Delicious, or any other apple that has a powdery consistency
when biting into it.
