Wash all fruit and vegetables thoroughly before juicing. There is no need to peel
vegetables that have a thin skin but a light scrub with a clean sponge can help remove any
dirt that may be stuck on, as well as any waxy coatings. Peel fruit and vegetables that have
a thick skin such as melons, pineapple and citrus fruit.
Juice only the freshest of fruit and vegetables to get the best nutritional benefits and
flavours. Cut large pieces of fruit, such as melons into large wedges. Some seeds from
citrus fruits can be bitter so you may want to remove the seeds if desired.
Remove seeds and stones from fruit such as mangoes, papaya and stone fruit.
This will prevent the blade from getting damaged.
When juicing different fruit and vegetables, it may help to juice in different combinations.
For example, when juicing apples and oranges, juice the soft fruit (oranges) first, then
follow with the hard fruit (apples) second. This will help you to achieve the maximum
juice extraction from the fruit and vegetables.
When juicing fresh herbs such as mint or parsley, add the herbs in between the fruit and
vegetables to get the most out of the herb or if only using a small quantity, add the herb
at the same time as a piece of fruit and vegetable.
Bananas can be hard to juice but the taste goes a long way. When juicing a blend of fruit
with bananas, add the banana as either the first or second piece of fruit. The nectar of
the banana will sit inside the filtering basket and as the remaining fruits are added into the
juice extractor they will release the banana nectar throughout the rest of the juice
resulting in frothy flavoursome juice.
When juicing small fruit such as grapes or strawberries, add the fruit in handfuls rather
than one at a time, this will maximise the amount of juice extracted. Be aware that beetroot
stains all other fruit and vegetables.

Question:
Fibres are coming out from the pulp container during operation?
Sometimes when juicing fibrous fruits and vegetable, small specks of fibres can come out of the
pulp container. This is because there is a small gap design between the pulp container and the juicer
cover to allow for air-flow when juicing. Without this gap the motor would not work correctly.
Solution:
If juicing a lot of fibrous fruits and vegetables, we recommend that you line the pulp
container with a plastic bag to assist with clean up.
Question:
The juicer will not start when speed is selected.
Solution:
The juicer has not been assembled correctly. Please see page 7 ‘Assembling
your Luvelo Ultra Power Juicer’
Question:
The stainless steel blade and filtering basket is blocked with excess pulp
After extended juicing of fibrous fruits and vegetables, the mesh on the filtering basket
may need to be cleaned.
Solution:
Stop juicing, disassemble the juicer and follow the cleaning and care instructions
on page 11.
