The Juice Press is not suitable for juicing very
hard and starchy fruits or vegetables such as
sugar cane. When juicing fruit and vegetables
of different consistency it may help to juice
different combinations, i.e. juice soft fruit first, (i.e.
oranges) then follow with hard fruit (i.e. apples).
This will help you achieve maximum juice
extraction. If juicing herbs or leafy vegetables,
wrap them together to form a bundle before
placing in the Juice Press or combine them with
other ingredients for juicing.
NOTE: The Juice Press will only function
correctly if all parts have been assembled
correctly, the hopper is in position.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your appliance will
keep it safe and in proper operational order.
Before Cleaning
When not in use or before cleaning, always
disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply.
Cleaning
Always ensure that the Juice Press is turned
off and the power cord is unplugged from the
power outlet before cleaning, disassembling or
assembling and storing the appliance.
Do not immerse motor base in water or other
liquids.
1. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately
after each use, use the cleaning brush to
thoroughly clean the fine mesh holes of the
strainer. Brush the inside of the strainer under
running water, holding it up towards the
light to ensure the fine mesh holes are not
blocked.
2. Use the cleaning brush provided with the
Juice Press. This brush has been specially
designed to clean the strainer. Simply place
the strainer inside the brush and under running
water twist the brush left and right to remove
the pulp from the strainer. You will need to use
the small brush provided to clean the inside
of the strainer, this should also be done under
running water. (see Fig. 9)

If the holes are blocked, soak the strainer in hot
water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the blocked
holes.
Tips:
If the strainer cannot be cleaned immediately
after use, soak the strainer in hot soapy water
immediately after juicing is complete. If pulp is left
to dry on the strainer, it may clog the fine mesh
holes, thereby lessening the effectiveness of the
Juice Press. Do not soak the strainer in bleach.
3. Wash the juice bowl, auger, strainer holder,
pulp cup and juicing cup in warm soapy water
with the small cleaning brush or a soft cloth.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Note:Do not place any part of the Juice
Press in the dishwasher.
Tips:
Discoloration of the plastic parts may occur with
brightly colored fruit and vegetables. To help
prevent this, wash parts immediately after use. If
discoloration does occur, the plastic parts can be
soaked in 10% lemon juice and water or they can
be cleaned with a non abrasive cleaner. Do not
soak the strainer in bleach. Do not soak the motor
base.
4. Wipe the motor base with a soft damp cloth
and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning
the motor base as these may scratch the
surface. Wipe any excess food particles from
the power cord.
Damage Check
Always check that the appliance is in good
working order and that all removable parts are
secure. Check the power supply cord and plug
regularly for cuts or damage.
Store in a Safe Place
When not in use store your appliance and all
its accessories and instruction manual in a safe
and dry place.
