METHOD OF OPERATION AND MAKING BREAKS
The high-performance motor of the appliance is designed for an elongated working
life when operated in usual household use. For preserving the working life of the
motor, avoid overload and overheating.
• Normal load: When juicing soft fruit and vegetables (basic system) or processing
runny or soft food (optional accessories), you may operate the appliance continu-
ously for approx. 20 minutes. Thereafter, the automatic shut-off will stop the motor
(see: ‘Automatic Shut-Off’).
• Heavy load: When filling hard ingredients (e.g. carrots) into the feed chute and
pushing with high pressure (basic system) or processing large, hard or thick ingre-
dients (optional accessories), after 7 minutes of continuous operation you should
make a brake of 20 minutes.
Important:
To save energy and avoid overheating of the motor, do not leave the
appliance operate uselessly. Additionally, when operating the appliance continu-
ously for a too long period and/or with too heavy load, or if the motor stalls for
more than 10 seconds the safety features protecting the motor may be triggered.
In this case, the appliance will stop operation at once (see: ‘Safety Features’).
After 20 minutes of continuous operation, make a break of approx. 20 minutes.
It is a good idea to use this time for preparing another portion of food, emptying
the juice jug and/or pulp container, and/or ensuring that the system is free of
obstacles. Juicing system: For juicing, start the motor at the lowest speed level and
leave it operate for approx. 5 seconds before selecting the desired speed and
filling in your food. Avoid too much pressure when juicing. As well, avoid filling
in too large amounts of very hard and fibrous food to avoid overload. If the motor
stalls, switch off and remove the obstacles. If required, process your food in smaller
portions and/or, if applicable, process hard ingredients combined with soft food.
Optional accessories: When using the optional accessories, do not operate the
appliance with the glass container (glass jug or grinding cup) empty. Processing
your food via the blade assemblies will be a matter of seconds. The results will be
better, when avoiding to over-process your food. In most cases, best results are
achieved by operating the appliance in pulses by turning the speed selection dial
to and fro several times.
