How to clean your Zumoval juicer to extend its lifespan

Proper cleaning and maintenance of Zumoval juicers are essential to ensure optimal performance, extend their lifespan, and provide the highest quality natural juices to customers.
Zumoval's automatic juicers are designed for quick and efficient juice production, but proper maintenance is key to prevent breakdowns and ensure that the machine remains in perfect working condition for many years. Below, we explain step by step how to clean your juicer and the best practices to follow to optimize its durability.

Why is it important to clean the juicer daily?
Keeping your juicer clean not only improves hygiene and juice quality by preventing rancid flavors, but it also prevents pulp and seed residue from accumulating in the internal parts and hard-to-reach corners, which could affect the juicing system's performance. It is important to note that citrus residues are highly corrosive and can damage the juicer's plastic and metal parts if not cleaned periodically and properly.
Moreover, juice residues that dry over time, like pulp build-ups or peel pieces, can cause blockages and damage the machine's components. Daily cleaning also helps keep the machine free from bacteria, ensuring that the juices you serve are fresh and safe for consumption.

How to perform daily cleaning:

1. Disconnect the machine: Before starting the cleaning process, make sure the machine is turned off and unplugged from the electrical supply.
2. Empty the peel trays: Remove the residue containers to prevent fruit waste build-up.
3. Disassemble parts: Remove removable parts like the juicing cones, drums, filters, and drip trays, following the instructions and the order indicated in the user manual. The user manual is provided on a USB card with the juicer purchase. If you've lost the card, contact our office, and we’ll send you the manual again.
4. Clean the parts: Wash all parts with warm water and neutral detergent. Zumoval recommends avoiding abrasive products or solvents that could damage the materials of the juicing system parts.
5. Dishwasher use: Removable parts, except for the casing, can be placed in the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 40ºC, making the cleaning process even easier.
6. Thorough drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling the machine to prevent bacteria growth or corrosion.
7. Reassemble the machine: Put the parts back in place, following the reverse order of disassembly.

Cleaning with the Self-Cleaning System:
If your Zumoval juicer has the self-cleaning option, take advantage of this feature to perform a quick cleaning between services. This system uses high-pressure water to clean the juicing area, ensuring the machine is always ready for the next use. The system is activated from the digital display and allows for a quick cleaning without the need to completely disassemble the machine.
Self-Cleaning system is ideal for frequent cleanings throughout the day, but it does not replace the full manual cleaning that should be done at the end of the day.

Preventive maintenance tips:

• Perform a full cleaning at the end of each day to prevent residue build-up.
• Empty the peel trays regularly to avoid overflow and the proliferation of fruit flies.
• Inspect the filters and blades to ensure there are no pulp or seed residues obstructing the juice flow.
• Use only cleaning products recommended by Zumoval to protect the machine components.
• Periodically check the seals and moving parts for wear and tear to prevent breakdowns.

If you have any questions, please contact our facilities.

Why cleaning extends the life of your juicer:
An automatic juicer consists of mechanical parts that are in constant contact with juice and fruit residues. If not cleaned properly, these residues can cause bad odors, even affect the juice's flavor, or even damage the juicing mechanism.
Zumoval juicers are made with high-quality stainless steel gears, making them extremely durable, but they require proper maintenance to ensure optimal performance over the years.
Maintaining your Zumoval juicer clean is an investment in the quality of your juices and the durability of your machine. With proper daily cleaning, use of the self-cleaning system, and regular preventive maintenance, your juicer will always be in the best condition to offer fresh, natural juices with the best flavor.
