PREPARING FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES
• Always wash fruits and vegetables
thoroughly before juicing.
• It is not necessary to remove small
seeds, pits or thin peels before using
the appliance.
• Cut the fruit into small pieces so that
they can get through the hopper.
• Fruits with thick peels such as or-
anges and lemons must be peeled
before juicing. It is particularly impor-
tant to remove all the peel from citrus
fruits (including the pith), as even
small amounts of peel can impart an
unpleasant taste to the juice.
• It is also necessary to remove large
stones such as plum and apricot
stones before juicing to avoid damag-
ing the appliance.
JUICING
1. Switch on the appliance by pushing
the on/off button to the ON position.
2. Feed the selected fruit and/or veg-
etables into the appliance through the
hopper a little at a time, pushing them
down using the tamper.
3. Long vegetables such as carrots
should be fed into the hopper pointy
end first.
4. Press the fruits and/or vegetables
gently with the hopper. Too much
pressure reduces the amount of juice
extracted and can damage the appli-
ance.
5. Stop the appliance before removing
the tamper to add more fruit/veg-
etables in order to avoid to avoid
splashes.
6. The juice runs out through the round
spout, while the fruit pulp comes out
through the flat spout.
7. If the appliance struggles to pro-
cess the fruit or vegetable pieces or
becomes blocked, you can run the
auger backwards by pushing the on/
off button to the REVERSE position
temporarily.
8. Turn off the appliance by pushing
the on/off button to the OFF position
when you have finished using it.
9. Take the appliance apart. First
remove the tamper and then the
hopper, the auger, the filter, the filter
holder and finally the bowl. If the
auger is difficult to remove, you can
push the on/off button to the RE-
VERSE position a few times to loosen
it.
TIP!
• Only use fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Good candidates for juicing include
pineapple, apples, cucumbers, celery,
carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes
and most citrus fruits.
• The various varieties of apple yield
juice with different flavours and
consistency. Experiment with different
combinations to find your own favou-
rite.
• Leafy green vegetables such as cab-
bage and spinach can also be juiced.
Roll the leaves into cylinders of an
appropriate size before feeding them
into the hopper.
• Fruits such as bananas, mangoes,
papayas and avocados are not suit-
able for juicing, as the result is often
mashed fruit instead of juice.
