Maintaining a clean and hygienic Nama juicer is essential for ensuring the longevity of your appliance and the quality of your juices. Regular deep cleaning removes built-up residue, prevents bacterial growth, and keeps your juicer operating optimally. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to deep clean your Nama juicer:
Step 1: Disassemble the Juicer
Start by disassembling the juicer into its individual components. Remove the pulp container, juice jug, auger, juicing screen, and all other detachable parts.
Step 2: Wash Removable Parts
Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to wash the removable parts. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Rinse the parts thoroughly and allow them to air dry.
Step 3: Clean the Auger
The auger is the heart of the juicer, so it’s essential to clean it thoroughly. Use a small brush or a toothpick to remove any food residue from the auger’s grooves. Rinse the auger with warm water and dry it with a clean cloth.
Step 4: Clean the Juicing Screen
The juicing screen separates the juice from the pulp. Remove the screen and soak it in a bowl of warm water with a cleaning solution. Use a soft brush to gently scrub the screen and remove any trapped pulp. Rinse the screen thoroughly and dry it.
Step 5: Clean the Pulp Container
The pulp container collects the discarded pulp from the juicing process. Empty the container and rinse it with warm water. If there’s any stubborn residue, use a soft brush to remove it.
Step 6: Clean the Exterior
Wipe down the exterior of the juicer with a damp cloth. Use a mild cleaning solution if necessary. Avoid getting water inside the juicer’s motor compartment.
Step 7: Reassemble the Juicer
Once all the components are clean and dry, reassemble the juicer. Ensure that all parts are correctly aligned and securely fastened.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Juicer is not juicing properly: Check if the juicing screen is clogged or damaged. Clean or replace the screen as needed.
- Pulp is leaking from the juicer: Tighten the pulp container securely to prevent leaks.
- Juicer is making a loud noise: Inspect the auger for any damage or debris. Clean or replace the auger if necessary.
