This comprehensive guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions and valuable tips on how to repack your Breville juicer effortlessly.
Materials You’ll Need:

- Sharpie or permanent marker
Step-by-Step Repacking Instructions:
1. Disassemble the Juicer
Begin by unplugging the juicer and disassembling its components. Remove the pulp bin, juice jug, juicing bowl, and lid. Rinse all removable parts thoroughly with warm, soapy water and allow them to dry completely.
2. Clean the Feed Chute
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any pulp residue from the feed chute. Wipe down the chute with a clean, damp microfiber cloth to ensure it’s completely clean.
3. Wipe Down the Base
Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the base of the juicer, removing any food particles or juice stains. Ensure the base is completely dry before packing it away.
4. Wrap the Components
Wrap the pulp bin, juice jug, juicing bowl, and lid in bubble wrap or packing peanuts to protect them from scratches or damage during storage.
5. Secure the Lid
Flip the lid upside down and place it on the juicing bowl. Secure the lid with a rubber band or tape to prevent it from coming loose during transport or storage.
6. Pack the Base
Place the wrapped components inside the base of the juicer. Fill any empty spaces with bubble wrap or packing peanuts to prevent movement and damage.
7. Pack the Remaining Parts
If you have any additional accessories or parts, such as a cleaning brush or measuring cup, wrap them individually and place them in the box along with the juicer base.
8. Label the Box
Clearly label the box with a Sharpie or permanent marker to indicate that it contains your Breville juicer. This will help you easily identify the box and avoid confusion during storage or transportation.
Tips for Optimal Storage
- Store your Breville juicer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the juicer in its original packaging or a sturdy box to protect it from dust and debris.
- Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of the juicer to prevent damage.
- If you plan to store the juicer for an extended period, consider using silica gel packs to absorb moisture and prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
1. Difficulty Repacking the Lid
If you encounter difficulty repacking the lid, ensure that the rubber gasket is properly seated in the groove around the juicing bowl.
2. Excess Juice Leakage
If you notice juice leaking from the juicer during storage, check for any loose or damaged components. Tighten any loose connections and replace damaged parts as necessary.
3. Unpleasant Odor
If your Breville juicer develops an unpleasant odor during storage, it may indicate the presence of mold or bacteria. Clean the juicer thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before repacking.
