• Fruits with thick peels such as oranges and lemons must be
peeled before juicing. It is particularly important to remove
all the peel (including the pith), as even small amounts of
peel can impart an unpleasant taste to the juice.
• It is also necessary to remove large pits (such as plum and
apricot pits) to avoid damaging the appliance.
• Large fruits and vegetables should be cut into pieces that
can fit into the funnel (9).
USE
• Start the appliance by turning the =n/Off button to position
„1” (low speed) or position „2” (high speed).
• The low speed setting is suitable for juicing soft fruits and
vegetables.
• The high speed setting is suitable for juicing harder fruits
and vegetables.
• Feed the selected fruits and/or vegetables into the appliance
through the funnel a little at a time, pushing them down
using the tamper (1).
• Make sure that you turn the tamper so that the groove in the
tamper fits into the funnel properly.
• Long vegetables such as carrots should be fed into the fun -
nel pointy end first.
• Press the fruits and/or vegetables gently with the funnel.
Too much presser reduces the amount of juice extracted and
can damage the appliance.
• Stop the appliance before removing the tamper to add more
fruit/vegetables in order to avoid to avoid splashes.
• Keep an eye on the fruit pulp holder and stop juicing before
the holder becomes too full.
• Always turn off the power by turning the „On/Off” button to
„0” position before taking off the lid.
Please note: Do not leave the appliance running for more than
3 minutes at a time. If the appliance has been running for 3
minutes, allow it to cool down for 20 minutes before you use
it again.
TIP
• If you line the fruit pulp holder with a plastic bag before us -
ing the appliance, it will be easier to clean the appliance.
• Use fresh fruits and vegetables – they contain the most juice.
• Good candidates for juicing include pineapple, apples, cu -
cumbers, celery, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes and
most citrus fruits.
• The various varieties of apple yield juice with different fla-
vors and consistency. Experiment with different combina-
tions to find your own favorite.
• Leafy green vegetables such as cabbage and spinach can be
juiced. Roll the leaves into cylinders of an appropriate size
before feeding them into the funnel.
• Fibrous fruits and vegetables as well as those with very firm
flesh such as bananas, mangoes, papayas and avocados are
not well-suited to juicing, as the result is often mashed fruit
instead of juice.
• All types of juice should be consumed right after juicing, as
fresh juice quickly looses important nutrients when exposed
to the oxygen in the air. Taste can also be affected.
• Pure apple juice turns brown quickly when exposed to air.
To prevent discoloration, serve apple juice immediately after
juicing or add a little lemon juice.
• Remember that fruit pulp can be used in cakes, vegetable
lasagne, muffins, etc.
Storage
• Ensure the appliance is clean and dry before storing.
• The appliance contains sharp parts – keep out of the reach of
children.
CLEANING
• Remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appara -
tus to cool down before cleaning.
• The best way to clean the motor section is with a slightly
dampened cloth and, if necessary, a little detergent. Do NOT
immerse the motor section in any form of liquid!
• The centrifuge bowl, fruit pulp holder, base and all other
detachable parts can be washed up by hand or in a dishwasher.
• Be careful not to touch the sharp parts in the bottom of the
centrifuge bowl.
• Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning agent on
the appliance or its accessories. Never use a scouring sponge
or similar to clean it, as the surface may be damaged.
• Allow all parts of the appliance to dry completely before
reassembling it after cleaning.
