J2 Assembly & First Use

How to prep fruits and vegetables for juicing with the Nama J2.

Celery: Cut your celery stalks into thirds. Wash your celery and insert into the juicer. Note: Depending on the size of your celery, cut to fit into your juicer.&#xA0;Leafy Greens: Wash your kale and other similar leafy greens. Cut the kale leaves into thirds (or smaller) and insert into the juicer. This will prevent the leaves from wrapping around the processing blade.&#xA0;Pineapple: Remove the top and skin of your pineapple. Cut the pineapple into pieces to fit inside your juicer hopper. It is safe to juice the pineapple core.&#xA0;Citrus: Peeling any citrus is optional and depends on your personal preference. If you do not mind the slight bitter taste, feel free to keep the peel on. If you prefer to peel the citrus, try to keep as much of the white pith on as possible since it contains nutrients that help your body absorb the vitamin C and other amazing antioxidants found in citrus fruit. You can keep the seeds as they contain excellent nutrients as well. Cut to fit your juicer and juice.&#xA0;Cucumber: Wash your cucumber and cut into thirds (or smaller) and insert into your juicer. You can keep the peel on.&#xA0;&#xA0;Watermelon: Remove the rind and cut into wedges to fit in your juicer. You can keep the seeds in.&#xA0;Beets: If you want to avoid the earthy taste, wash thoroughly or peel your beets. Depending on the size of your beets, slice to fit into your juicer. You can also juice your beet greens too.&#xA0;Carrots: Wash your carrots thoroughly and cut to fit into your juicer. You can also juice the carrot with the greens and skin still on.&#xA0;Apples: Core your apples and remove the seeds. Cut the apple to fit into your juicer.&#xA0;Ginger: Wash your ginger thoroughly and cut off a piece according to your recipe. You can juice with the skin on.&#xA0;Dates, Peaches, and Stone Fruits: Make sure you remove the pits of these fruits before juicing or it may damage the juicer. For stone fruits, wash thoroughly and cut to fit into your juicer.

J2 Layering Guide

Pro tips for getting the most out of your Nama J2 Juicer.

Tip 1 &#x2014; Assembling While Not on Base: The chamber set must be assembled first before placing onto the base. After juicing, make sure to remove the entire chamber set from the base before disassembling.&#xA0;Tip 2 &#x2014; Unlocking and Removing the Hopper Lid: Squeeze the release tab to unlock the hopper lid. The hopper lid can be removed by lifting straight up. To reconnect, press down firmly until it clicks into place. Note: if the hopper lid is not closed, the juicer will not turn on.&#xA0;Tip 3 &#x2014; Placing the Strainer into the Chamber: You will notice two wings on the strainer. One large and one small. Firmly place the strainer set into the chamber by locating the corresponding large and small cutouts. Push down until the top of the auger is sitting flush with the top of the strainer.&#xA0;Tip 4 &#x2014; Maximum Fill Line: Do not load the hopper past the Maximum Fill Line.&#xA0;Tip 5 &#x2014; Pulp Outlet Loop: When cleaning the chamber, open the pulp outlet loop and clean the inside. The pulp outlet gasket can be easily removed and cleaned. Simply push it back into place once clean.&#xA0;Tip 6 &#x2014; Pusher: Only use the provided pusher to press ingredients through the hopper lid.&#xA0;Tip 7 &#x2014; Reverse: Turn and hold the Control Knob to REV if the juicer stops due to a jam. You can also hold the knob to REV for 15 seconds after juicing is completed. This will make the chamber easier to disassemble.&#xA0;Tip 8 &#x2014; Cleaning Silicone Parts: Removable silicone parts include the pulp outlet seal gasket, juice cap stopper, spinning brush blades, and chamber gasket. We recommend removing them every once in a while and cleaning with the included brush.&#xA0;Tip 9 &#x2014; Nutmilk: For plant-based milks such as almond milk, it is best to add ingredients through the top hole in the hopper lid while the machine is on. Be sure to scoop water and nuts together as you add them into your juicer. This will help give the best consistency.

J2 Tips and Tricks

Step-by-step cleaning instructions for the Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer.

Step 1 &#x2014; Finished Juicing: When you&apos;re finished juicing, always hand wash your juicer right away. Holding the handle on the hopper, pull the entire chamber set off of the base and disassemble in the sink. Note: Chamber set cannot be disassembled while still on the base.&#xA0;Step 2 &#x2014; Unlock Chamber Set: Twist open the hopper using the handle and disassemble the strainer set.&#xA0;Step 3 &#x2014; Hopper: The lid on the hopper can be removed by opening the lid and pulling up. The inside of the hopper is safe to clean. The processing blade is pointy but not sharp.&#xA0;Step 4 &#x2014; Wash Each Component: Wash each component by running them under water and scrubbing with a sponge or brush. The cleaning brush comes with a dual ended tip which can be used to pick out any pulp or scrub smaller areas.&#xA0;Step 5 &#x2014; Chamber: When cleaning the chamber, open the pulp outlet loop and clean the inside. The pulp outlet gasket can be easily removed and cleaned. Simply push it back into place once clean.&#xA0;Step 6 &#x2014; Removable Silicone Parts: Other removable silicone parts include the pulp outlet seal gasket, juice cap stopper, spinning brush blades, and chamber gasket. We recommend removing them every once in a while and cleaning with the included brush.&#xA0;Step 7 &#x2014; Drying: Make sure to always hand dry your juicer right away after washing. This will prevent any remaining residue from staining your juicer. Leave it out to dry before reassembling.&#xA0;Step 8 &#x2014; Cleaning the Base: Use a damp cloth to clean up any pulp residue or juice off of the base. Make sure to avoid any water contact around the control knob and the plug outlet.&#xA0;Step 9 &#x2014; Deep Cleaning: For a deeper clean, the parts can be soaked overnight in a mixture of warm water and three and a half ounces or 100 grams of baking soda. Alternatively you can use equal parts warm water and vinegar.&#xA0;Step 10 &#x2014; After Soaking Overnight: Wash and scrub each part after soaking overnight. After cleaning, always dry, or allow each part to air dry before reassembling.
