The juicer comes almost fully assembled, just install the feed pan and pusher, and it's fully assembled. When disassembling, do pay special attention so you can reassemble after cleaning. You can also refer to the parts schematic on pages 14/15 of the PURE Manual to see where all the parts go.

Slide the feed tube gently over the cutter. Position the line on the feed tube plate with the line on the machine where it says, “In.” Gently turn the feed tube clockwise until you hear the click. You’re good to go!

Should I adjust the cutter screw with each use?

After using, wash them thoroughly in cold water. Re-fold them following the original fold lines . Use the hydraulic press, squeeze the excess water out.

The PURE Press cloths are synthetic and made from polypropylene. We have tested: silk, cotton, linen hemp and stainless steel mesh. Testing shows this provides the strongest, most porous, and least juice absorbent material possible. As soon as we locate an acceptable natural fiber we will offer it.

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".
