Goodnature X-1 Mini

Preparing Produce for Juice

The way you prep certain items will depend on functionality and your personal preferences. Here are some tips to help guide you. General Tips: Always wash produce thoroughly and use a produce or antimicrobial wash – when serving a raw, unpasteurized juice, you want to make sure the product is as clean as possible. If the peel doesn’t affect the flavor or color of the juice – don’t peel it! There is a large concentration of beneficial nutrients in the outer layer of many fruits and vegetables. If the seeds are the size of a cherry pit or larger, remove them – pits and large seeds can lend a slightly bitter flavor to juice, as well as wear down or even damage blades. For large items (pineapples and larger), I prefer to cut into quarters – this will make it easier to process the produce at a more consistent rate. Apples: You can keep whole and unpeeled. Beets: Remove the top ends and clean the bottoms thoroughly. If they are small in size, I remove the bottom skinny part as well. Berries: These small, fleshy fruits have a soft texture and do not contain a lot of liquid. I recommend using a blender to blend into a puree, then add it to the juice. To use more as a color and flavor infusion – lightly process, then press with your other recipe ingredients. Carrots: I like to remove the top ends of the carrots due to the fact that it’s tough to remove all the dirt. Cucumbers: Clean with antimicrobial wash to remove any wax. For light colored, non-green juices, I peel the cucumbers – otherwise I leave the skin on. Leafy Vegetables: In general, do not remove the stems – they typically contain a lot of flavor and juice. Coming from the farm, leafy greens usually have the most dirt on the leaves and need to be thoroughly washed. Lemons & Limes: For stronger flavored or full bodied juices, I like to grind these with the peel on – this is a preference where some might disagree – but when juiced whole, I find the peel not as bitter than it is with oranges and grapefruits. Mangos & Papayas: These are a little pricey in most locations and do not contain a lot of juice – I recommend to blend in a blender and then add to the juice. Melons: You can either peel or keep the rind on watermelon, if it is not that sweet, I would definitely peel. I like to de-seed honeydew and cantaloupe, as you get a slightly bitter flavor when you grind or process the seeds. Nuts: In general, remove shells – however, keep or order with the skins on if possible, nuts such as almonds contain a lot of flavor in the brown skin. Oranges & Grapefruits: I prefer to peel these items and then grind & press due to the bitter flavor in the peel. Pineapples: Remove the green crown and cut into quarters, but leave the skin on. Passion Fruit: In most areas these are a bit pricey, I like to add this to finished juice by scooping out the seeds and mixing them into the juice. Download Preparing Produce Guide

X-1 Mini Button Lights at Startup

Your X-1 Mini features four buttons, each having their own functionality that are described below. When the power switch is first turned on, the lights around the Control Buttons will illuminate for the first 2 seconds according to the following: Shred Light indicates the machine is powered. Batch Light indicates the grinder is in the lowered position with the clear plastic press guard installed. Single Light indicates the hopper and hopper door are both installed. Shred When the hopper door is opened to add produce, the grinder will come to a stop automatically and the “SHRED” light will blink. The shred cycle will restart automatically once the door is closed. If the hopper door is open for more than 45 seconds, the shred cycle will cancel and the light will no longer be illuminated. As a safety feature, the grinder disc will stop spinning and the “SHRED” button will flash while the hopper door is open. Press the “SHRED” button a second time to stop grind cycle. Alternatively, the “STOP” button can be pressed to stop the grinder. If the hopper is open for more than 45 seconds, the grind cycle will cancel automatically as a safety feature. When the hopper door is closed, the grinder disc will begin spinning again. Solid illuminated “SHRED” button means the grinder disc is spinning. Single The “SINGLE” press speed is intended for making a single serving of juice, up to 1.5 lb of produce for most recipes. The single press speed will take roughly ninety (90) seconds. Pressing the “SINGLE” button once will engage the press cycle. At the end of the press cycle, the press will automatically relieve pressure and the piston rod will retract into the machine. Pressing the “SINGLE” button a second time during the press cycle, or pressing the “STOP” button, will relieve pressure and the piston rod will retract early, canceling the press cycle. Batch The recommended maximum capacity of the “BATCH” press speed is 5 lb of produce for most recipes. The batch cycle will take roughly 4 minutes. Pressing the “BATCH” button once will engage the press cycle. At the end of the press cycle, the press will automatically relieve pressure and the piston rod will retract into the machine. Pressing the “BATCH” button a second time during the press cycle, or pressing the “STOP” button, will relieve pressure and the piston rod will retract early, canceling the press cycle. Stop Pressing the “STOP” button while the grinder is running will turn off the grinder. Pressing “STOP” once during any press cycle, or while the machine is idle will relieve pressure and retract the piston rod. Pressing “STOP” twice will cancel all cycles. The piston rod will not retract. For more detailed information on the button lights and startup processes on your X-1 Mini, refer to the X-1 Mini Owner's Manual.

Troubleshoot: X-1 Mini Not Working

Your X-1 Mini comes equipped with safety features that prevent the grinder from operating if it is not properly assembled or if the safety features are compromised. Follow the steps below to troubleshoot: Step One The Control Buttons help indicate whether or not your machine is ready to be used. Power your machine off and back on again. When the power switch is first turned on, the lights around the Control Buttons will illuminate for the first two seconds according to the following: SHRED Light indicates the machine is powered. BATCH Light indicates the grinder is in the lowered position with the clear plastic press guard installed. SINGLE Light indicates the hopper and hopper door are both installed. If the BATCH button does not illuminate within the first two seconds of turning on, make sure the grinder is in the “Down” position and the clear plastic press guard is installed. If the SINGLE button does not illuminate within the first two seconds of turning on, move on to step two. Step Two Make sure the hopper door is properly installed. 1. After the hopper is secured with the clips and is in the down position, place the hopper door down into the receiver so that the rear portion of the door is located as shown in the photo below. You will notice there is still a gap between the door and grinder housing. 2. To fully seat the hopper door, push firmly down with two hands on the rear hinge section of the hopper door until it snaps into the receiver. 3. The hopper door is properly installed when there is little to no gap between the door and grinder housing as shown below. 4. Finally, lower the hopper door and pusher into place, ready for operation. Power your machine off and back on again. Check to make sure all three Control Buttons light up within the first two seconds. If they do, you are ready to make some juice! If they do not, go on to step three. Step Three Locate sensor magnets and ensure they are still installed. 1. Remove the hopper from the machine and locate the magnet on the base of the hopper. Refer to the photos below to determine if the magnet is still installed. If it is missing, it will need to be replaced and re-installed. 2. Remove the hopper door from the hopper and locate the magnet on the base of the door. Refer to the photos below to determine if the magnet is still installed. If it is missing, it will need to be replaced and re-installed. If your machine is still not working after performing these troubleshooting steps, contact Goodnature technical support team.

Juicing on the X-1 Mini Guide and Video

Watch the video for an overview of operating your X-1 Mini and follow the guide below for step-by-step general instruction. The X-1 Mini Pro allows processing everything from leafy greens to ginger easily and efficiently, producing 40-50 ounces of juice from five pounds of fruit and vegetables. Simple one-button operation and effortless process allows your employees to focus on doing what they do best—creating a great product for your customers. Grinder Operation 1. Ensure machine is properly assembled and ready for operation. Refer to the Setting up the X-1 Mini Guide and Video knowledgebase article or the X-1 Mini Owner's Manual. 2. Prop open the hopper door using the pusher handle as shown in the image below. 3. Fill the hopper with desired amount of produce. 4. Close the hopper door using the pusher handle. 5. Press the “SHRED” button. This will start the grind cycle. 6. Lightly apply pressure to the pusher. The produce will grind slowly into the press bag. Some vibration in the grinder and pusher is normal. 7. If it seems that the pusher is not making any progress, pull back the pusher and apply a couple quick, firm thrusts until the blockage is cleared. 8. Intermittent and gentle pushing is more effective than steady pushing. 9. When the hopper is mostly empty, the pusher will make contact with the agitator producing an audible ‘tap’ sound. This will indicate the hopper is clear. 10. Open the hopper door again and repeat the process, grinding produce until the desired amount is in the press chamber. 11. Once you have finished grinding the desired amount of produce for one press cycle, press the “SHRED” button again to turn off the grinder. Grinder Operation 12. Before pressing, check to make sure the bag is filled evenly and is not over-filled. 13. Press the “SINGLE” button if you are pressing a small amount of produce (about 1.5 lb or less), or press the “BATCH” button if you are pressing a larger amount of produce. Pro tip: When the hopper is mostly empty, the pusher will make contact with the agitator producing an audible ‘tap’ sound. This will indicate the hopper is clear. 14. The single cycle will take roughly ninety (90) seconds, and the batch press will take roughly 4 minutes to run a full cycle. The press will stop automatically when the cycle is finished. 15. At the end of the cycle, rotate the grinder to the “up” position, then push the moving platen back. Pull the press bag off of the pins and remove from the press chamber. 16. You have now completed one full shred and press cycle. 17. When you are finished, turn the power switch to the “OFF” position.
