If you’re the proud owner of a Breville juicer, you know that it’s a powerful and versatile appliance. But what do you do if you need to take it apart to clean it or replace a part? Don’t worry, it’s not as difficult as you might think. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of how to take apart your Breville juicer.
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before you start, you’ll need to gather a few tools:
- A Phillips head screwdriver
- A flat head screwdriver
- A wrench
- A pair of pliers
Step 2: Unplug the Juicer
For safety, always unplug the juicer before you start taking it apart.
Step 3: Remove the Pulp Container
The pulp container is the large, clear container that collects the pulp from the juicing process. To remove it, simply lift it straight up off the base of the juicer.
Step 4: Remove the Feed Chute
The feed chute is the opening at the top of the juicer where you insert the fruits and vegetables. To remove it, use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold it in place.
Step 5: Remove the Cutting Disc
The cutting disc is the sharp, rotating blade that cuts the fruits and vegetables into small pieces. To remove it, use a wrench to loosen the nut that holds it in place.
Step 6: Remove the Strainer Basket
The strainer basket is the mesh basket that separates the juice from the pulp. To remove it, simply lift it straight up out of the juicer.
Step 7: Clean the Parts
Once you have all of the parts removed, it’s time to clean them. You can wash the pulp container, feed chute, and strainer basket in the dishwasher. The cutting disc should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water.
Reassembly
Once the parts are clean, it’s time to reassemble the juicer. Simply reverse the steps that you took to disassemble it.
Troubleshooting
If you’re having trouble taking apart your Breville juicer, here are a few troubleshooting tips:
- If you can’t remove the cutting disc, it may be stuck. Try using a pair of pliers to loosen it.
- If you can’t remove the strainer basket, it may be clogged with pulp. Try using a toothpick or a small brush to clean it out.
