and the power supply cord.
2. Before you switch on your Fitmix Juicer, make sure the voltage and
frequency of the electric circuit you’re using match the details on the
nameplate of the appliance.
3. To minimise the risk of an electric shock, the motor unit, the power
cable and the mains plug must not be immersed in water or any other
liquid, or rinsed under running water.
4. The juicer should not be operated with an external timer or by remote
control.
5. Only use attachments recommended by the manufacturer. A fire, an
electric shock or injuries could occur if you don’t.
6. Do NOT pull the cable, do not carry the appliance by holding the cable
only, do not catch the cable in doors, do not wrap the cable around
sharp edges or corners, and keep the cable away from hot surfaces. Do
NOT bend or damage the power cable.
7. Do not use the appliance if the power cable, the plug or any other parts
of the appliance are damaged. If your juicer needs checking, repairing
or adjusting, make sure you contact an authorised customer service
team member.
8. Unplug the appliance from its socket when it is not being used.
9. Do NOT move or lift the juicer when it is plugged in or switched on.
Always make sure the appliance is switched off before you move it.
10. Do NOT leave the juicer unattended when it is in use.
11. Do NOT put the appliance near a hot gas or electric oven.
12. NEVER use your finger or another object (such as a spatula) to push
ingredients into the feed chute while the juicer is running. ONLY the
pusher supplied as part of the appliance may be used for this.
13. Wait until the juicer has come to a complete stop before you remove
the lid and any other parts.
14. Do NOT exceed the maximum fill quantities stated on the juice and
pomace containers.
15. The juicer does not have any parts that need to be serviced by the user.
Do not try to repair, dismantle or modify the appliance.
OPERATING YOUR FITMIX JUICER
Before using the appliance for the first time,
please take all the parts out of their packaging and read through the user
guide carefully. Make sure that all the parts specified are in the box. Take
out all the parts and wash all the containers and attachments in warm
water with washing-up liquid. Once you’ve dried everything thoroughly, you
can start using your stainless steel juicer.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Please note that the juicer has a built-in safety mechanism
which prevents the product from working if any part has not been attached
correctly or not clicked into place properly (juicer lid and safety locking arm).
ASSEMBLY
1. Put the main unit of the juicer on a clean, dry and even surface.
2. Place the juice bowl on the main unit (figures A and B).
3. Push the stainless steel double filter down inside the juice bowl until it
clicks into place and is sitting firmly on the motor unit (figure C).
CAUTION: In the middle of the stainless steel double filter, there
are some small sharp blades that the juicer uses to chop up the
fruit and vegetables you are juicing. To avoid cuts and other
injuries, do NOT touch the blades.
4. Place the juicer lid and feed chute on the juice bowl (figures D and E).
5. Place the pusher inside the feed chute (figure F).
6. Move the safety locking arm up and click it into the two grooves on
either side of the juice bowl. The safety locking arm should now be
vertical and engaged in the rim of the juice bowl (figures G and H).
SPECIAL NOTE:
If the safety locking arm is not correctly engaged, the
juicer cannot be operated.
7. Put the pomace container under the pomace spout (figures I and J).
8. Position the juice container under the juice spout (image K).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The juicer has been designed to separate the juice and the pulp of the fruit
and vegetables you juice. The pulp is collected in the pomace container,
while the juice flows into the juice container.
The standard processing time for all juicing processes is 30-60 seconds.
Do not let the juicer run for more than three minutes continuously, as it can
overheat if you do.
New appliances often emit an odour the first few times they are used.
1. In preparation for your juicing, wash the fruit and vegetables you are
going to use, peel them and cut them in pieces.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Always check the stainless steel double filter for signs of
damage before you use the juicer. Never use a sieve basket that’s damaged,
cracked or bent.
2. Connect the juicer to your power supply. The on/off button will flash
and “OFF” will be displayed on the LCD screen.
3. Press the button
to activate the juicer.
4. Select your speed by pressing
+
(fast) or
–
(slow). The selected
button will then flash blue. The LCD display will tell you the current
speed setting, and the timer will also start.
–
- Pressing this button will reduce the speed.Use lower speed settings
for soft fruits like tomatoes, pineapples, berries and melons.
+
- Pressing this button will increase the speed. Use higher speed
settings for harder fruits and vegetables like carrots, apples and celery.
5. Place two or three pieces of fruit or vegetable in the feed chute and
then push them down slowly with the pusher.
ATTENTION:
Never push fruit or vegetable pieces into the juicer just by
using your hand. ALWAYS use the pusher. Never poke your fingers or other
objects inside the juicer while it’s running.
SPECIAL NOTE:
If a piece of fruit or vegetable gets stuck, use the pusher
to free it. If that doesn’t work, switch the juicer off, unplug the appliance and
then dismantle it to remove the stuck piece.
6. Continue until you’ve reached your required juice quantity. Avoid
collecting more than 800ml of juice in the juice container to prevent the
container from overflowing.
7. To pause the juicer, press the
-button. When you’ve finished
juicing, press the
-button again – The appliance will switch to
standby mode, the LCD screen will display “OFF” and the
-button
will flash blue. Disconnect the appliance from its power supply.
8. Remove the pomace container and throw away the unused pulp. To
continue juicing, place the empty pomace container back in its
position, plug the power cable back in and switch the juicer on again.
Make sure the pomace container doesn’t get too full, as this can
hinder the appliance from working properly and also lead to long-term
damage to the product.
9. The foam separator in the juice container separates the foam from your
juice when you pour out the juice from the juice container.
PRACTICAL TIPS
Every fruit and vegetable will produce a different amount of juice. The
quantity can also differ between batches of the same variety. (For example,
one batch of oranges could produce more juice than the next batch.)
As juice recipes are not precise, quantities do not have to be exact for a
particular mix of ingredients to be a success.
If you are juicing a number of different ingredients with various textures,
begin with the softer ingredients at a low speed and then adjust the juicer
to a higher speed for the harder ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or green leaf vegetables, you will achieve
the best results if you bunch them together as a bundle or put them in the
middle of other ingredients and then process them at a low speed.
Peel citrus fruits, pineapples, melons, etc. before juicing them.
Stone cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, etc. before juicing them.
DISMANTLING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lift the locking arm back over the grooves on each side of the juicer lid
and then pull it back down.
2. Remove the pomace container and then remove the juice container
and the lid (as one unit).
3. Take the sieve basket out of the juice bowl.
4. Wash all the parts and attachments, including the pomace container,
juice bowl, juicer lid, sieve basket and pusher.
CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Switch the juicer off to start with and unplug the cable from its socket.
Before cleaning the appliance, please dismantle it as described above.
1. The stainless steel filter and all the plastic parts are dishwasher-proof
– but cleaning off the excess with the cleaning brush beforehand is still
recommended.
