Machine will not work when
switched ‘ON’
The safety locking arm may not be correctly engaged
in the vertical operating position with the locking arm
located into the two grooves on either side of the
juicer cover (page 8 step 5).
Motor appears to stall when juicing
1. Wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover if
the juicing action is too vigorous.Try slower
juicing action by pushing the food pusher down
more slowly (refer to page 10,step 4). Follow
Dissembling and Cleaning instructions and clean
the filter bowl surround,the stainless steel filter
basket and the juicer cover.
2. The ikon Juice Fountain will automatically stop
operating if the motor is stalled for more than 10
seconds.Either too much food is being
processed at one time or the pieces are not
small enough.Try trimming the food or cutting
into smaller pieces of even size and processing a
smaller amount per batch.To continue juicing,
reset the ikon Juice Fountain by pressing the
‘On/Off’ switch on the control panel to ‘Off’ then
turn the appliance back on by pressing ‘On/Off’
switch to ‘On’.
3. Hard fruits and vegetables will put excess strain
onto the motor if a low speed is selected.Please
refer to the juicing guide on Page 9 to determine
the correct speed for the fruits and vegetables
selected on juicing.
Excess pulp building up in the
stainless steel filter basket
Stop the juicing process and continue the
Disassembling instructions.Remove the juicer cover,
scrape off pulp,reassemble and begin juicing again.
Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetable and fruit
varieties.
Pulp too wet and reduced
extracted juice
Try a slower juicing action.
Remove stainless steel filter basket and thoroughly
clean mesh walls with a cleaning brush.Rinse the
filter basket under hot water.If the fine mesh holes
are blocked,soak the basket in a solution of hot
water with 10% lemon juice to unblock the holes or
wash in the dishwasher.This will remove excess fiber
build up (from fruit and vegetables) which could be
inhibiting the juice flow.
Juice leaks between the rim of the
Juicer and the juicer cover
Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher
down the feed chute more slowly (refer to page 10,
step 4).
Juice sprays out from spout
Use Juice jug and lid provided,or if juicing into a
glass please use the custom designed juice nozzle.
Care and cleaning continued
The stainless steel filter basket may be washed
in the top shelf of any dishwasher.
Note
• Do not soak the stainless steel filter basket in
bleach or other abrasive cleansers.
• Always treat the filter basket with care as it can
be easily damaged.
Cleaning the juice jug
1. Rinse the juice jug and lid with froth attachment
under running water.
2. Wash both parts in warm soapy water with a soft
cloth.Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The juice jug and lid may be washed in the top
shelf of any dishwasher.
Note
Removing stubborn or strong food
stains and odors
Discoloration of the plastic may occur with strongly
colored fruit and vegetables.To help prevent this,
wash parts immediately after use.If discoloration
does occur,the plastic parts can be soaked in water
with 10% lemon juice or they can be cleaned with a
non abrasive cleaner.
