4. Instruccions de funcionament
Follow these steps to extract juice from your chosen fruits or vegetables:
- Prepare Produce: Wash fruits or vegetables thoroughly. Cut larger items into smaller pieces to maximize surface area for steam extraction. Do not add sugar or water to the fruit basket at this stage.

- Monitor del nivell d'aigua: Periodically check the water level in the bottom pot. If necessary, carefully add more hot water to prevent it from boiling dry.
- Drain Juice: Once sufficient juice has collected, release the clamp on the silicone hose and drain the hot juice into heat-proof containers or jars. Re-clamp the hose when finished.
- Repeat or Finish: You can continue to steam more produce or turn off the heat and allow the juicer to cool before disassembling.
