Overview

The Kuvings AUTO10 is a hands-free slow juicer designed for household use, emphasizing ease of operation, efficient juice extraction, and straightforward maintenance. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for assembling, operating, and cleaning the device, along with important safety precautions and troubleshooting tips.

Function Description

The primary function of the Kuvings AUTO10 is to extract juice from various fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens using a low-speed compression method. Unlike high-speed juicers, this slow juicer is designed to minimize oxidation, preserving more nutrients and enzymes in the juice. It features a large-capacity auto hopper, allowing users to insert ingredients in larger quantities and even whole, reducing the need for extensive pre-cutting. The juicer is capable of processing both soft and hard ingredients, and with optional strainers, it can also be used to make smoothies or sorbets. The device operates with a simple forward (FWD) and reverse (REV) switch, enabling users to control the juicing process and clear any lodged ingredients.

Usage Features

The Kuvings AUTO10 is designed for user convenience, starting with its hands-free operation.

  • Assembly: The juicer consists of a base, drum set, and auto hopper. Assembly involves inserting the juicing strainer into the rotation wiper, placing the strainer into the drum, and gently pressing the juicing screw into the center. The auto hopper then locks onto the juicing bowl, and the entire top set is placed onto the base. Proper alignment of red dots and lock marks ensures correct assembly and operation.
  • Ingredient Preparation: While the large auto hopper can accommodate whole ingredients, cutting them into appropriate sizes can optimize juice extraction, especially for fibrous or hard items. Hard seeds should be removed from fruits like apples and peaches. Leafy greens should be cut into 2-3 inch pieces. Root vegetables and thick-skinned fruits require peeling and cutting. The manual provides specific guidance for ingredients like pomegranate (kernels only), grapes (no stems), ginger, kohlrabi (cut small and mixed with moist ingredients), and soaked nuts/beans. It's crucial not to overfill the auto hopper beyond the maximum capacity line. For mixed ingredients, it's recommended to juice soft and stringy ingredients first, followed by harder ones.
  • Operation: To start, open the auto hopper lid, insert ingredients, and then close the lid completely, ensuring the locking tab is pressed down. Place the juice cup and pulp cup under their respective spouts. Press the FWD switch to begin juicing. The smart cap on the juice spout should be kept open during extraction to prevent juice from flowing backward. If the juicer stops due to too many ingredients, use the STOP(O) switch, then press and hold the REVERSE(REV) switch for 2-3 seconds to dislodge ingredients, and then switch back to FWD. The juicer should run until the pulp is completely drained. After use, turn the switch to STOP(O) and wait for the motor to stop completely before disassembling.
  • Optional Attachments: The manual details the use of optional strainers and a citrus maker.
    • Citrus Maker: This attachment is used for juicing citrus fruits cut in half. It involves assembling a cone and strainer into a citrus maker drum, placing it on the base, and pressing the FWD button. Fruits are then gently pressed onto the rotating cone to extract juice.
    • Coarse Strainer: Ideal for fruits like strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, and mango.
    • Smoothie Strainer: Used for frozen fruits (strawberry, mango, etc.) and liquids (milk, water, etc.). Frozen items should thaw for 5-20 minutes. The smart cap should be closed, and liquid added first, followed by small amounts of frozen ingredients through the auto hopper hole. A 1:1 ratio of frozen ingredients to liquid is recommended.
    • Blank Strainer: Specifically for frozen ingredients (strawberry, pineapple, mango, etc.) to make sorbets. Frozen items should thaw for 5-10 minutes, and small amounts should be inserted through the auto hopper hole. The smart cap should always remain open when using the blank strainer.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the juicer's performance and longevity.

  • Disassembly: To disassemble, press the handle switch, turn the auto hopper counterclockwise while pressing the handle switch to open it, then lift the auto hopper and drum set from the base. Separate the juicing strainer, rotation wiper, and screw from the drum set.
  • Cleaning Parts: All parts, except the base, can be washed thoroughly under running water. It is crucial not to place any parts in a dishwasher, dish dryer, microwaver, or expose them to extremely hot water (above 40°C), as this can cause parts to wear faster.
    • Juicing Bowl: Pull the pulp outlet lock down to unlock for cleaning.
    • Juicing Screw: Use the tip of the cleaning brush to remove any foreign substances (seeds, grains) stuck in the screw groove. Ensure the groove is completely clean to prevent damage to the screw.
    • Rotating Brush: The manual illustrates a dual cleaning tool. Push the slide lock to release it, insert the fastening bar into the silicon ring groove of the strainer, lower the handle, and then push the slide rock at the bottom to tighten. Wash the strainer by rotating the dual cleaning tool and strainer in opposite directions.
    • Silicone Parts: Silicone parts (silicone brush, smart cap silicone, silicone ring, pulp outlet silicone) can be separated for thorough cleaning. After washing, ensure they are properly reinserted. For the silicone brush, insert it with the tail facing down through the wide part of the wiper. For the smart cap silicone, insert it into the smart cap before use. For the silicone ring, push it in with the smaller surface down. For the pulp outlet silicone, ensure it is completely inserted into the groove. Improper insertion of silicone parts can lead to reduced juice yield or leakage.
  • Quick Rinsing: For juicing different ingredients consecutively, a quick rinse can be performed. Close the smart cap, pour water through the auto hopper hole, and operate for 30 seconds. Then, open the smart cap to let the water run out. After all juicing is completed, a full disassembly and wash is required.
  • Base Cleaning: The base cannot be washed with water. It should be wiped with a soft cloth containing a little moisture.
  • Discoloration: If plastic parts become discolored by ingredients like carrots or spinach, rub vegetable oil or lemon juice into the affected areas and clean with mild detergent. Avoid using vegetable oil on the juicing screw or strainer, as this can affect performance and cause damage.
