2. When juicing fruit with stones or hard seeds, pit
the fruit.
3. If the pieces of fruit or vegetables are very large,
chop them to a size that will fit down the juicer’s
food chute.
4. Turn clockwise the control knob to the ON
position to juice the fruit.
5. Press the food pusher slowly down until all fruit
or vegetables have gone through the juicer. Do
not press the food pusher rapidly as the juicer
will not be as effective.
Do not put your hand or any other object in
the food chute during operation.
6. The juice from the fruit and/or vegetables will
flow directly into the juice cup and the pulp will
be collected in the pulp bin.
7. When juicing is complete, ensure that the juicer’s
control knob is set to the OFF position, the
power is turned off at the outlet and the juicer is
unplugged. Now the unit can be disassembled
safely.
8. If the Juice Bowl is stuck and does not detach
from the base, turn the knob to “R” for 3-5
seconds. Repeat the process 2-3 times.
Do not turn the knob quickly from ON to R,
but wait a few seconds in the OFF position.
TIPS FOR JUICING
•
Cut food items into small pieces for optimal
extraction.
•
Do not use ice or frozen fruit.
•
Put food into feeding tube. Do not push heavily.
•
Insert food at regular speed, allowing all the pulp
to be extracted with maximum efficiency.
•
When juicing leafy greens or wheatgrass, we
suggest mixing them with fruit or other hard
vegetables for optimal results.
•
Insert nuts to be juiced only with other foods
such as soaked soybeans or liquids.
•
Do not operate with an empty bowl.
•
Leftover juice should be refrigerated or frozen.
•
When selecting fruit and vegetables for juicing,
always select fresh and properly ripe specimens.
Fresh fruit and vegetables carry more flavour
and juice than those that are not properly ripe.
Juice is best consumed when freshly made, as
this is when its vitamin and mineral content is
the highest.
•
For better tasting citrus juice, also remove the
inner white peel from the fruit.
•
Fruit with stones or hard seeds (i.e. mangoes,
nectarines, apricots and cherries) should be
pitted before juicing.
•
A small amount of lemon can be added to the
apple juice to prevent the juice from browning.
•
Bananas can be difficult to juice. When you
use bananas, add them as the first or second
ingredient: the nectar of the bananas will flow
through into the juice from the other fruits.
•
When juicing fruits and vegetables having
different consistencies, it may help to juice
different combinations. For example 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 them in
the juicer or combine them with other ingredients
at low speed.
