How To Clean
How do I clean the feed tube?
Push the button on the side of the feed tube and turn it counter clockwise to remove. Then remove the grid tray and the grid. All can go in the dishwasher, or wash with soap and water.
How do I deep clean press cloth?
Read the PURE manual (click here). There are tewo main methods: bleach (most effective) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Bleach does the best job but is not always an option. Mix a 3-6% solution and soak the cloths overnight then rinse thoroughly. If not satisfied, increase the solution strength and repeat.
What’s the right way to store juice cloths?
After using, wash them thoroughly in cold water. Re-fold them, "tic-tac-toe" style as if you were juicing. Using the hydraulic press, squeeze the excess water out. Place them in a zip-lock bag and store in your freezer until the next use. Tip: if the water is pressed out before freezing the cloths are faster to defrost and easy to unfold flat for use.
What’s the right way to store juice cloths?
After using, wash them thoroughly in cold water. Fold the cloth lengthwise in thirds until you have a rectangle. Take the right end of the rectangle and fold it 2/3 of the way across. Take the left end and fold it across. Now, you have a nice square. Press the excess water out, stick it in a zip-lock bag and store in your freezer.
Do I need to wash my juicer prior to use? Do I need to wash the cloths prior to use?
Yes all the food contact parts should be washed with soap and water: pusher feed tube, feed pan, cutter, grid tray, grids and juice tray. The cutter should be wiped dry.
How do clean the o-ring, and how to do I remove it?
Keep a spray bottle with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Remove the o-ring by squeezing together at 10:00 and 2:00 and stretcng the o-ring so it can be removed. Clean the groove and remove any vegetable debris. Spray the o-ring groove and the o-ring prior to reinstalling the o-ring - job done!
How long do juice cloths last?
It’s a matter of personal preference. We’ve innovated juicing cloths and our Gerson Institute approved LSHP Press Cloths should last as long as 6-12 months. Periodically soaking them overnight in a 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution can extend life as well.
How to Juice
How do I prevent kick back? I’ve heard about veggies come right back out the feed housing.
Our patented feed housing is specially designed to virtually eliminate kick back. We do find with the larger#10 and #12 grids some kick back may occur. To prevent any kickback, place your hand palm down over the top of the feed tube and feed the produce between thumb and forefinger. zthos way your palm will block sny kickback, should it occur.
What size grid should I be using?
Your PURE Juicer arrives with a set of 8 grids from 2.5mm – 12mm. For juicing use the #8, #10 or #12 grid. The grid size is the hole size in mm, the #10 grid has 10mm holes in it. Below is a guide for which grid to use depending on what you are using your PURE Juicer for. In case of clogging, move up to the next grid size.
Grid #2, for coffee and fine grinding
Grid #3, for smooth nut butter, baby food and purée
Grid #4, for chunky nut butter, smooth pesto
Grid #5, for juicing berries
Grid #6, for non-fibrous produce and fibrous greens
Grid #8, for non-fibrous priduce
Grid #10, for big batch juicing and non-fibrous an fibrous produce
Grid #12, for big batch juicing and fibrous greens
The Grid gets clogged with food, what do I do?
Grids always looks clogged, so this is not a good measure. If the push-pressure is increasing, them the grid is clogged or is the pulp overheating? if so, increase the grid size, a larger grid redusces clogging and lowers pulp temperatures. We recommend have 2-3pc spare grids, if you use #10 all the time and they clog, just change the clogged one for a fresh one and keep juicing. Wash them all at once when done.
What is the best technique to operate the press?
The PURE press is fast, 14 seconds to go up. To prevent overflow, slow the press speed when the juice flow is strongest. We call this, "feathering the press". To control the speed, point the handle to 12:00 o:clock this will stop the press. Then point the handle between 12:00-1:00 o:clock to find the best speed to run the press.
I‘ve heard something about a 10-second rule when pressing? What’s that?
Some juicers can only stay at full pressure for 10 seconds, The PURE can stay at full pressure for 10 minutes or 10 hours. We’ve designed the PURE Juicer so that is not an issue. There is no time limits.
Why does my pusher have so many scratches? is my pusher being eaten by the cutter?
The PURE pusher takes a little pactice to get used to using. While learning some people have trouble centering the pusher in the feed tube. Somtimes this causes little nicks on the edges of the pusher where the pusher touchs the inside edge on the feed tube. With a little practice this will no longer happen.
How long can juice be stored for?
Green juice, 12-24 hours, carrot, apple, and non-green juices 24-72 hours.
Why is my pulp wetter than it normally is?
If you think your pulp is damp, contact support@purejuicers and ask for, "the carrot test".

How should I juice fruit?
Citrus, we like to juice citrus fruits (such as lemons, limes and pineapple) on the PURE Juicers by peeling or slicing the fruit, then placing directly on the juicing cloth, and press all the juice out. No trituration required. Others like to use a citrus juicer instead. Softer fruits typically don’t require trituration. However you prefer it.
Can you set me up with a scheduled shipment of press cloth?
We’ve had a lot of requests for that and plan to offer than service in the next few months.
Where is the PURE Juicer made?
The short answer,
The PURE Juicer is made in China, with each juicer subject to a detailed final inspection by the PURE team in our Seattle facility.
The long answer,
The PURE Juicer is made in a world-class facility in China by our vendor/partner who specializes in food safe products for some of the biggest brands in the world. PURE Founder, David Feinberg, and his sourcing team have known the owner and his factory's work for over 20 years, they also visit the facility regularly to monitor all aspects of the PURE manufacturing process. Our vendor would be world-class in any country in the world. They meet all regulatory requirements making them highly-regarded for: quality, safety, and energy efficiency. PURE’s partner’s factory meets the gold standard for quality assurance, holding both an ISO 9001
PowerPoint, and ISO 14000
Download, accreditation. ISO 9001 defines an internationally recognized method of certifying production quality; ISO 14000 confirms the facility is “Green” by ISO and international standards. Our partner factory generates 9% of its power via solar, has implemented waste reduction initiatives, and has an organic farm and fishpond on the property to provide sustainable food for their communal kitchen.
Quality is the key,
Each PURE juicer is continuously tested in production to ensure the highest level of quality. Our quality assurance team does visual inspections of all parts prior to assembly; performs multiple inspections on all of PURE’s mechanical parts; test drives the PURE’s motor for sound, voltage, EMF discharge; repeatedly tests the pump and hydraulics and as one final confirmation for mechanical quality, the machine is run at full pressure for five minutes prior to 48 hour rest and re-inspection. And to ensure it looks good on every counter, there is a final cosmetic inspection prior to packaging and shipment.
Why not build in the USA?
Because we are focused on ensuring that we can provide the best two-stage cold-pressed juicer on the market at the best possible price. For PURE that meant find a world-class manufacturing vendor where we could oversee quality and ultimately control cost and pass those savings on to our customers. Honestly, had we started PURE Juicer 50 years ago when more inexpensive manufacturing resources were available in the USA, our juicers would say “made in the USA”, but times have changed and the USA no longer has a built-out supply chain that small businesses can tap into as start-up cost are prohibitively high. It was more important to PURE to bring the highest quality, next generation
of true two-stage cold-press juicer to as large a market as possible helping as many people as possible find their path to health and wellness than be focused on country of origin.
Finally,
PURE is committed to continuous innovation and improvement. We believe in our PURE Juicer and stand behind every one with our 12 year transferrable warranty. We are here for you - if you have further questions please drop us a note or give us a call, we love to talk all things PURE.
What is the Yield of a PURE Juicer?
2 Gallons per hour is top speed for produce like carrots and apples.
The PURE yield is average 65% by weight, 1000g = average 650ml juice. The overall range is 55-83% depending on the produce being juiced.
Juicy produce like watermelon will have higher yield and leafy greens like Kale a lower yield.
