Using the appliance
The appliance only functions if all parts are properly assembled and the lid is properly
locked in place with the latches.
1. Wash the fruits and/or vegetables and cut them into pieces that fit into the feeding
tube.
2. Put the appliance ON by pressing on the ON/OFF switch.
3. Put the pre-cut ingredients in the feeding tube and gently press them down with the
pusher towards the rotating filter.
4. Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher as this could affect the quality of the
end result and could even cause the filter to come to a halt.
5. After you have processed all ingredients and the flow of juice into the glass has
stopped, switch off the appliance and wait until the filter has stopped rotating.
Helpful Tips
- Use fresh fruits and vegetables as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery,
cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, oranges and grapes are particularly
suitable for processing in the juicer.
- You do not have to remove thin peels or skin. Only remove thick peels such as those of
oranges, pineapples and uncooked beetroots. Also, remove the white pint of citrus fruits
because it has a bitter taste.
- If you want to juice fruits with stones, remove the stones before juicing.
- When you prepare apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice depends
on the kind of apple you use. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a kind
of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
- Apple juice turns brown very quickly. To slow down this process, add a few drops of
lemon juice.
- Fruits that contain starch such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not
suitable for processing in the juice extractor. Instead, use a blender or a food processor.
- Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time,
the juice loses its taste and its nutritional value.
Cleaning and maintenance
The appliance is easier to clean if you do so immediately after use.
1. All parts, except the motor unit, can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
2. Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as
alcohol, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
