Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQ page for Hurom juicers answers questions about cleaning, warranty, spare parts, recipes, and usage tips.
Device & Application
How do you assemble the Hurom slow juicer?
Insert the sieve into the rotating brush, then gently rotate the combined sieve and brush into the drum until you hear a click. Place the auger into the sieve and rotate it until it fits. There are two recesses on the outer edges of the sieve and rotating brush that both blades fit into. Place the funnel on top and turn it clockwise until the arrows on the funnel and the housing align. Check that the lever is in the "Close" position before juicing.
“Slow juicing”, does that take long?
Our slow juicers, called Slow Squeeze Juicers, spin at 43 rpm on newer models (around 80 rpm on older models), compared to the 10,000 or more rpm of typical high-speed juicers and blenders. Nevertheless, our juicers produce juice at the same speed, and sometimes even faster, than other models we've tested.
Are Hurom juicers loud?
Because our slow juicers only rotate at 43 or 80 rpm, they are significantly quieter than high-speed juicers and blenders.
Are Hurom juicers safe?
Hurom juicers are 100% BPA-free and come without blades or sharp parts.
The engine won't start
This could be because the funnel isn't properly seated on the base. If it's properly seated, the arrows on top of the funnel and on the base should point in the same direction. The motor will only turn on if the arrows align. Another possibility is that a magnet that activates the juicer's power function is missing. To check if the magnet is missing, look under the lid. If there's a crescent-shaped indentation, the magnet is missing and needs to be replaced.
I put too many ingredients into the Hurom feed chute at once. What can I do?
If there are too many ingredients in the Hurom, the hopper may not open. If this happens, simply toggle between the dispense and reverse buttons. Press the reverse button while simultaneously turning the hopper open. If that doesn't work, don't try to force the hopper open. It's best to call customer service.
There is a sieve damage
This can happen if you add ice, frozen food, large chunks, or seeds to the bowl. Refer to the instruction manual for proper use and juicing tips. Be careful not to overfill or overload the juicer. If necessary, new strainers and other replacement parts can be purchased. For assistance, please contact customer service at info@hurom.swiss.
The bowl is firmly in place and cannot be removed from the base.
This can happen if there's too much stuff in the bowl or if there's an unknown substance in it. Press the rewind button for 3-5 seconds and let water run through the bowl. Repeat this 2-3 times, then push the bowl upward or shake it while rotating. Also, make sure the pulp outlet is "CLOSED" when removing the bowl from the base.
How do I clean my juicer?
To rinse the juicer, pour water into the funnel while the juice cap is closed. Turn the juicer on so the brush runs along the strainer. Open the juice cap and let the water drain. Repeat this two or three times. To completely clean the juicer, move the lever to "Open," disassemble it, and clean each part. Remember: the sooner you clean after juicing, the easier it will be.
Are the parts of the Hurom juicer dishwasher safe?
Only the auger is dishwasher safe. We recommend cleaning all parts of the Hurom by hand.
When do I use the control lever?
The lever regulates the pressure in the chamber. The lever should always be set to "closed" when you begin juicing. Once the chamber begins to fill with juice, switching the lever to "half-closed" helps release the pressure and allow the pulp to escape freely. (This is a good idea when juicing ingredients with lots of seeds, such as grapes or kiwi.)
Do all screens work on all machines?
Some parts may be compatible between models of the same generation, but interchanging parts is not recommended.
What warranty do I have on a Hurom juicer?
We offer a 2-year warranty on the motor and parts for all Hurom Slow Juice models purchased in Switzerland. Customers can also purchase an additional warranty that provides a 15-year warranty on the motor. Click here for the form .
Recipes and preparation
Is it better to eat whole fruits and vegetables?
Every opportunity to include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet
is beneficial because most people do not consume the recommended daily amount
of fruits and vegetables. Juicing is a great way to
to incorporate much-needed vitamins and minerals from plant foods into our diet.
What is the difference between juice and a smoothie?
Both juices and smoothies are great ways to add more nutrients and fiber to your diet,
but they are very different. Juice is easy to drink, has a
clear/smooth texture and is full of nutrients and soluble fiber that your body absorbs quickly. A smoothie is much thicker and your body
takes longer to digest. Since good juicers separate the pulp from the
By separating and chopping juice, you also don't have to peel your fruits and vegetables or remove small seeds. With a blender, you would have to remove anything you don't want to eat, like seeds, stems, etc. Remember, Hurom juicers can also make smoothies!
Is it true that juice does not contain fiber?
There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Fresh juices contain a very high proportion of soluble
Fiber that your body can absorb more easily. Since insoluble
Fiber remains in the juice, your body can recover from the digestive process

Eat whole grains and beans.
Can I juice citrus peels or ice cubes?
Of course, you can squeeze citrus peels, but they taste bitter and produce sour juice. Removing the citrus peels ensures delicious juice without any bitterness. Do not add ice cubes to the Hurom. For a smoothie with a thicker texture, you can add slightly thawed frozen fruit to the machine.
Do I need to remove any peels or seeds?
The rule of thumb is: If you can chew it, you can juice it. Most seeds, apple peels, pomegranate seeds, etc. are
so it's fine. Do not remove the shells if they are thin or
are soft, as the nutrients are sometimes more concentrated in the shell.
However, you wouldn't chew on lemon peels, pineapple skins, or peach pits, so don't juice them.
What can I do with the pulp?
The pulp can be used in a variety of ways! Use it for baking, soups, veggie burgers, healthy cookies, and muffins. The leftover pulp is easy to incorporate back into your diet. You can also add it to pet food or
composting. Learn more about this topic

How should I store my leftover juice?
