Kuvings Revolution Cold Press Juicer

Using Your Juicer 101:

Removing stones and/or large, hard pips from fruits such as olives or mangoes are also important as these will damage topset. The best thing to do is to let the machine “eat” the produce before continuing to feed the chute.
Make sure when feeding through the chute that you don’t overload it with produce. If you try to put too much in at a time, you could potentially crack the drum lid and/or damage other internal parts including the motor. Also overloading the machine can cause the strainer to clog up and not filter through properly which will end up in blockage.

Tip 1: Ensure top set is put together securely prior to juicing.
Matching up the red dots on both the juicer lid & juicing bowl should require no effort or force. If the topset is not put together correctly, you may find that you are unable to start your juicer. To troubleshoot a non-starting juicer or unable to fit the lid easily, first check your Auger is pushed in enough – it should feel properly seated in the drum. Check Juicing Screw (Auger) is positioned correctly into the machine prior to putting on the drum lid.
Check all lugs (3, or 4 depending on model) on the juicing bowl are properly connected to the ones of the drum lid. There should be no gap between juicing bowl and drum lid.

Tip 2: Kuvings Cold-Press Juicers CANNOT process coconut, sugarcane, or large pips/stones.

Tip 3: When using frozen fruits and vegetables in your juices, ensure you defrost them for at least 10 minutes before placing in your juicer.
This helps soften the produce, so the machine can easily convert it to juice.

Tip 4: When juicing celery or other long & stringy or fibrous ingredients, chop into 1–2cm pieces.
Kuvings recommend this, as it can clog your machine and stop the juicer working efficiently, or even stop it working. NB: There is NO NEED to do this with the REVO830 due to its cutting feature on the auger.

Tip 5: When juicing beetroot, chop it into small cubes.
When juicing beetroot, chop it into small cubes. Placing small handfuls in at a time - Let the machine draw the beetroot cubes down into the juicing bowl naturally as opposed to forcing or using the plunger to drive the beetroot into the machine. This way you will get consistency in juice quality and maximize the yield.
Kuvings strongly suggest this as beetroot is one of, if not the toughest vegetable to juice and can damage the machine if the pieces are too large. Beetroot is also likely to stain, so care must be taken to make sure it is not left in the juicer too long.

Tip 6: When juicing Oranges, You can remove the Skin/Peel.
The skin, or peel, of an orange can make a juice taste bitter if left on. We recommend you remove the orange peel, and leave as much pith (that’s the white stuff) as possible. The pith contains fibre in the form of pectin, which is linked to several emerging health benefits, including lower cholesterol, improved blood sugar control, and improved gut health, because pectin serves as a prebiotic for the probiotics of the gut.

Tip 7: When juicing Lemons, we recommend you keep the skin on.
Lemons are a great addition to almost any juice. They can be fed whole, or added in slices that have been pre-prepared and frozen. Lemon acts as a preserver, and so a slice can be added to every 1-2L of juice to help with that.

Tip 8: When juicing Apples, just remove the stalk.
The rest can be put into your juicer whole or in ½ depending on the juicer model you have. This gives maximum nutrition and doesn’t alter flavour.

Tip 9: When Juicing Carrots, they can be fed whole.
Juicing carrots has to be one of the easiest vegetables! The carrots can be peeled, or you can include the skin. If including the skin, make sure you wash them first. You can even juice the nutrient rich carrot greens/tops, though it is recommended you only do a small portion as this can change the taste considerably. Note: You may require cutting the carrots into sticks in the B6000 & B8000 machines.

Tip 10: When Juicing Watermelon, cut it into manageable sized pieces.
The skin can be left on if the recipe calls for it, but piece sizing should be reduced. The seeds are thought to help deal with inflammation, and aid in treating bacterial infections, so can be included as well. Watermelon is a great addition to a juice, as the yield is very high.

Tip 11: When Juicing Ginger, dice it into pieces.
The piece size should be small, as ginger is a very dense root. It is a great ingredient to add to juices, and adds a peppery taste. Ginger can be juiced with skin on, and we recommend it! Ginger can be frozen to ensure longevity. It is important to remove it from the freezer at least 10 minutes prior to juicing.

Tip 12: Let the juice mix in the topset before pouring it out.
Leave the Smart Cap closed when you’re juicing a variety of fruits or vegetables in the one juice. Letting the Juicer do the work of mixing the juice means that your juice will be ready to drink straight out of the juicer. When it comes time to open the Smart Cap, make sure it is positioned to open vertically, and take care when opening.

Tip 13: If it gets stuck, try water.
If the Juice bowl is not releasing, this can be due to pulp build up. If this happens, you can help clear the bowl by running some water through your top set. Ensure to keep the water away from your juice. Next try removing the auger and other internal parts separately. Repeat as needed until free. Flushing with water is a good practice to adopt into your juicing steps and really helps to clear out clingy fibre.

Flush the juicing bowl after use. To eliminate extra cleaning, ensure that the smart cap is closed and then pour 250ml of water into the feeding chute, with the machine operating. After a short period of time, move the “ON” button to reverse.

Rinse/Wash your topset (with cold water) as soon as you have flushed.

This makes sure all juice ingredients are removed from the juicer before they get a chance to adhere to the juicing bowl, seals or auger. Remember to always wash/rinse the topset parts in cold water, never in boiling water. Every now and again you can wash topset parts in warm water. 

DO NOT clean parts in a dishwasher as can make your parts brittle. Using the cleaning tools provided with your machine will help you clean quicker and more efficiently, especially when it comes to cleaning the strainer.

When washing the Smart Cap, take care to not put any undue side loads on the hinge area. Do not place the Smart Cap under running water when opened.

If you are juicing items like beetroot or turmeric, as these vegetables stain so easily, make sure you rinse or wash the juicing topset directly after using these ingredients, or juice them last in your juicing process. 

Use Baking Soda for a thorough Clean.

You may get whitish build up on Kuvings components - The minerals in the produce contain different compositions and when juiced they can bind to the components if allowed to dry. If they dry, you can soak the affected part in Bicarbonate of soda for 30mins and then scrub off. White vinegar is great, too.

The best way to avoid this whitish build-up is by ensuring you wash your juicer properly after each use.
