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.
