Great care must be exercised when operating the Oil Extractor.
Note that putting in too much linseed too quickly, or using old linseed, can result in seizure or damage to the Oil extractor or Juicer.
This unit has been designed to extract oil primarily from sesame seed for making a high quality tahini, slowly; though other oils can also be extracted such as olives and flax seeds etc. Use caution when deviating from sesame seed!
Any loud squealing is an indicator that the unit could seize. Thus, STOP immediately, clean and start again. Failure to do this could cause damage.
- After the extraction process the oil and paste will be separated. Remix the dry paste and oil together (approximately 20% more oil has to be added for correct consistency, but can vary; it can be a mixture of almond oil and honey, or other), blend with a wooden spoon to suit correct consistency.
- Never put ground paste back into the hopper with other sesame seeds, it will result in blockage.
- The linseed oil extraction works very well - a 200 gram pack provides about 30 ml of oil.
- Always complete a cycle, never stop and change ingredients.
- Put through only one type of seed and then thoroughly clean before starting again.
- Ensure that the unit is rinsed under hot water and cleaned out internally with the brush supplied; also, brush the oil slots on the external side, from the bottom.
- The hopper can also be used to fill with linseed. Note that putting in too much linseed too quickly, or using old linseed, can result in seizure and as such may damage the Oil Extractor or Juicer.
- Important, do not mix seeds, as it may result in blockage.
- Clean immediately after use, as once it has been left standing it will become more difficult to clean.
Hot Oil Extractor: The Hot Press Oil Extractor is exactly the same as the Cold Press Oil Extractor, but extracts about 30% more oil when the electrical cable on the Oil Extractor is plugged into the socket of the LexSun Standard Juicer or LexSun Deluxe Juicer.
If the unit is used as described, it will give you trouble-free extracting of oil.
Enjoy!
